American Cocker Spaniel

American Cocker Spaniel The name of the American Cocker Spaniel is derived from the predilection of the English cockers for "cocking", or hunting woodstock. The breed was of Spanish origin but the American cocker can be traced back to an English-bred bitch, Obo Obo, brought over from Britain in the 1880's.

Comments

"We have a 9 year-old Cocker Spaniel named Lucy. She's golden-colored and loves to be brushed. We got her from a shelter and she has fit right into the family. She loves my small children (4 and 6) and tolerates a lot of abuse. Lucy's good with just one half-hour walk per day, then she'll spend the rest of the day lounging around. Perfect for us."
