    Advantages Advantages Wonderful, gentle, loyal pets

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Prone to ear problems

    At the risk of boring the pants off non-dog lovers, I would like to tell you a bit about my Black and white Cocker Spaniels, Nelson and Monty, both of which were as different as chalk is from cheese, especially in the health department. But First, a little about Spaniels in general. Essentially, there are ten spaniel breeds, but the four most familiar breeds are the Springer, King Charles, English Cocker and American Cocker Spaniel. Of the four breeds, the Springer is the most bouncy and energetic; the King Charles spaniel is the smallest. The English and American Cocker Spaniels, generally ... more

    5 Stars My Black Loyal Nutter and my Best Friend 23/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A loyal and faithful companion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Completely mad personality

    When I was four, my parents got our first dog. She was a cross Labrador and something else, I don’t think we ever knew what really. From then, until the time I left home, we were never without a dog at home – we progressed to Dalmatians and Boxers after the first one, and I always assumed that when I had my own home I would have a dog myself. When I left home I moved to London and had a full time job, so having a dog was not an option. I’m a firm believer that it’s cruel to leave a dog on his or her own all day. I left work after having my first child, but as we were living in London, I still ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sooner or later, my baby will fall asleep forever

    My first (ANIMAL) review. --, The prehistory--, I actually always wanted a golden Retriever or Labrador, but I got a small sweet little angel, whom I never give away again. My original AMERICAN-ENGLISH COCKER SPANIEL. He is a mixture of both cockers because he has the body like the English cocker but the face and nose of a American and English Cocker. HIS NAME IS: TOROMBOLO On 30 May 2003 my husband got me a small black-and-white, 4 weeks old, Cocker spaniel. As we picked him up, he still fitted into my hand. He was so small and sweet, that it was so unbelievable. I knew that the puppies ... more

    Advantages Advantages Friendly, loyal family pet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I've had the good fortune of encountering two cocker spaniels in my life. One that was not with us very long, the other running the household for the past four years. The first cocker we bought was from a dog farm somewhere near Lincoln, in which the dogs were kept in small compartments in stables. The puppy we chose had a lovely black silky coat and was, what we thought, very shy. Once we got her home it became obvious to me something was wrong- she wasn't eating, and was constantly trembling and being sick. We took her to the vets who told us she had a disease (the name of which escapes me) ... more

    5 Stars Cocker Load Of This Review with images 14/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages loyalty, friendly to everyone, and obviously they're adorable to look at

    Disadvantages Disadvantages how can you say no to them!

    It's taken 22 years but finally I have my very own dog. My parents always forbade me from getting one and to be honest they weren't that keen at 22 in my own house!). But I couldn't wait any longer and I had to get one. It wasn't easy though. You are very, very, very unlikely to find one in a rescue centre as quite simply they don't tend to cause any trouble and no-one would part with them. On a visit to my boyfriend's home town of Lincoln we went into a pet shop and asked behind the counter on the off chance that they might have some means of finding where to get one. As it happened they had ... more

    Advantages Advantages Always happy, Freindly , Loyal, Smart, Cute,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Daft as a brush!

    At the age of 26 I decided to get my first dog. Don't get me wrong, ive grown up with dogs in the family all my life, but since getting my own house, this is MY first dog. The breed I chose, an English cocker spaniel, seemed the right choice as I have grown up with 3 others in my time at my parent’s house. First there was Blueboy, a dark blue roan cocker, who died when I was quite young. The seconds was Barney, a white cocker with a few black patches, whose lifespan overlapped all my time at my parent’s, and whose death to cancer at the age of 13 hit me quite badly. Finally we had Dylan just ... more

    Advantages Advantages Exercise, company , entertainment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The expenditure, worry about leaving them on their own

    There are two types of Spaniel, the English Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel. Although I do not have a cocker spaniel, I am planning on getting one as soon as I have a house. My friends got a black cocker spaniel at Christmas called Charlie and I love him to pieces! Charlie was quiet for the first couple of days after being introduced to his new home as he was a little nervous. It wasnt long however before he was becoming mischevious and lovable and showing his adorable personality. Cocker spaniels are relatively easy to train and within two days of being with my friends he was ... more

    5 Stars Cracking Cocker Review with images 30/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful and loyal family Pet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited lifespan

    Once you have had a cocker you'll have them forever, they're sensitive, loving and anything you could wish for in a dog. She's the best friend I've ever had and is attuned to my every thought. Bess is 9 years young on the 2nd April 2007, a.k.a. this Monday, still a beautiful dog, who is always full of beans. It is very important to keep your cocker slim, Cockers tend to put on weight quickly and this can shorten their lifespan Walking, Bess requires at least an hour of hearty exercise at least once a day but does tend to all on the lead, this is common with all Cockers. It is important to keep ... more
