All the Cockers I know are fantastic dogs. There is however a vast difference between Cocker Spaniels from show/pet strain and working Cockers. Working Cockers are quite high maintenance dogs on a par with Springers and B.C's

I think animal testing is a terrible idea. They get all nervous and then they give the wrong answers.

I cant overly help we had an english growing up black and white, but my dad never had the patience (he didnt have the patience for us kids either) and my mum did not have the time back then, so he never recieved the appropriate training and was dirty and ended up being kenneled outside in the night.

I do remember he was very affectionate and loving but his ears always ended up in everything!! Very Happy

I have a wonderful cocker spaniel that I adopted over 4 years ago. She is about 9 years old now. She is totally devoted, and follows me whenever I leave the room. She loves to eat, is a couch potato except for her short walks, has the most beautiful big brown eyes and soft fur. She does need to have her hair 'groomed/cut' every couple months and I give her baths in between so she is sweet smelling.
Cockers are prone to eye and ear problems, so make sure you can afford the meds that they may have to take daily.

You can get special water bowls designed to keep their ears dry. We have one and it works. Our cocker's only bad habit (she's 2) was when she started stealing things and guarding them (particularly when coming into season). We have now dealt with this problem by being very firm. Other than that she is great and very bright. All the cockers I've known have been very easily trained. Ours loves people and other dogs and has never been destructive when left. Plus she is absolutely stunning to look at.
