Can a 4 month old cocker spaniel be fed once a day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It could but it is better to leave food down with it all the time because of how much he needs. If you persist in feeding him once a day, give him about 2 1/2 cups to make sure he isn't going hungry and leave it down all day because he will not eat it all at once. Dogs have a tendency to eat and then snack from time to time.

How high can cocker spaniels jump?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a good question, it depends on the cocker spaniel, each one is different.

Most can only can jump 2 to 3 feet from stand still, higher if they are moving.

Usually a six foot fence, is high enough, to keep them in their pen.

A cocker spaniel when running, will jump very high, usually around 4 feet.

But one trick they do, is to jump onto something they can dig their nails in, and propel even higher.

But I have watched, a cocker spaniel jump over a six foot fence, without touching the fence, in single leap.

They some times will chase other animals, jumping up onto very high places, were they need help getting down.

But as a cocker spaniel ages, they tend jump less, not jumping at all later in life.

Some adaptations of a cocker spaniel?

It is cutting off of part of the length of a cocker spaniels tail, by means of amputation, usually 4 or 5 vertebrate back.

In some countries, Docking is illegal, some states in the USA have considered banning the practice.

It is necessary, only if you want to register the puppies, with club kennel like the American kennel Club.

Amputations of the tail, are done fairly soon depending on size and health of the puppies.

Veterinarians usually perform the procedure, as it is painful for the puppies with possibilities of complications.

Biggest worry, is to keep the area of scaring clean & sterile, so infection does not sit in.

Again Docking a dogs tail is risky, you are cutting through flesh, muscle, between vertebrates, and the spinal cord it's self, having to leave enough skin to hang well over.

Some Kennel owners will perform the procedure, it important that it is done right, a poor job can cause issues and complications the whole dog's life.

Is a cocker spaniel Jack Russell mix a good dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're not concerned about shedding yes. We have a pair of cocker spaniel/ jack russel mixed breed dogs. They're actually litter mates. They are wonderful with my two daughters who are 9yrs old & 11yrs old. They get along with our 3 cats. In fact they seem to think that the cats are theirs. They also get along well & spend a lot of time playing with our 7yr old Lab Staffordshire Terrier mix. They are both very playful, loyal & affectionate as well as very intelligent. They are also excellent watch dogs. They are high energy & very playful but they're also very personable & love to just lay near their people & nap. The only thing I don't like about these guys is that they shed a lot...& I mean a lot.

How bad do cocker spaniels stink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They can get dirty just like we do. Cocker Spaniels are known for ear problems, so be sure the ears look healthy inside and smell good. If they are red or stink, then take your Cocker in to see your Veterinarian to check out the ears. A good grooming on a regular basis will help with any body odor. Also your pet could have impacted anal glands. A good groomer will know how to properly brush out, clip, clean out ears, trim nails and express anal glands or your could learn to do it all yourself. Don't forget about checking the insides of the ears.

The smaller breed of dog you have the longer it lives most of the time. We may think that a dog dies so soon but for them they are really old. Dog years are a lot shorter than human years so they die sooner

What are facts about cocker spaniels?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you can train it well!they bite alout too! i know because i had one!

Adding more info:

Short story is no, they're not good dogs to have. There's nothing good about many of the tendencies of this breed (of course they're never all the same, I am just talking about common behavior and physical traits) compared to so many other breeds, and lots of negatives.

Good=loyal

Bad=insecure, tempermental, prone to cherry eye, yucky eye discharge, shedding and constant rapid hair growth and grooming required, piddlers, not too bright, too big to be a travel companion lap dog and too small to provide any security, I could go on but although I love ours and we treat him well, I would never have chosen a cocker if I could go back in time.

Cocker spaniels are somewhat predisposed to skin troubles, particularly ear troubles. Bumps on a cocker spaniel's skin may be from allergic reactions, flea bites, ticks, dermatitis or skin parasites. You should have this examined by a veterinarian, who can then start appropriate treatment to get the bumps resolved.

Do you capitalize Cocker Spaniel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends. Some breeds such as the Poodle could be capitalize or not. In kennel clubs such as the AKC, both words that form the name of the dog breed (eg. Labrador Retriever) is capitalize, but if you type "Labrador Retriever" in a Word document, it will tell you to change it back to "Labrador retriever."
