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.

What was the Field Spaniel first bred for?
Originating in England in the 1800s the Field Spaniel used to be considered the same breed as the English Cocker Spaniel. The dog was used to flush and retrieve both fur and feather from land and water. In the 20th century it was decided that anything above 25 pounds would be considered a Field Spaniel and anything below would be an English Cocker Spaniel, and the two were officially separated into different breeds. During the 1800s the Field Spaniel was being bred with a greatly exaggerated length and weight. Almost a hundred years later in the 1920's the standard returned a moderate length and weight. Although it is a fine bird dog with a great, mild disposition, the breed remains rare to this day, most likely due to the extreme popularity of the Cocker Spaniel. The Field Spaniel was recognized by the AKC in 1894. Some of the Field Spaniel's talents are tracking, hunting, retrieving and watchdog.
How to Become a Cocker Spaniel’s Best Friend?
Cocker Spaniels are definitely great family dogs. Not only are they too cute to be true, they are also friendly, great with children, and love a lot of activity. Yet, like any breed of dog, Cocker Spaniels have their own unique needs. Not every dog owner can meet these expectations. In order to be a Cocker Spaniel’s best friend, prospective owners should consider some of this breed of dog’s requirements. First, and most importantly, a Cocker Spaniel’s best friend will acquire it from an appropriate breeder. Unfortunately, Cockers are sometimes bred by people who do not understand the breed’s weak points, and produce dogs that are prone to epilepsy, eye disease, and skin allergies. To avoid problems, choose a Cocker from a reputable breeder, one that can provide papers that prove its lineage. A Cocker Spaniel’s best friend understands that they thrive on activity. They are, after all, from a lineage of bird dogs that was bred to hunt pheasants and quail. Though a backyard is great for a Cocker Spaniel, it still needs to be walked at least once a day. Providing the physical activity to keep a Cocker healthy is a prerequisite of a best friend. The beautifully luxurious coats for which Cocker Spaniels are famous need special attention. This breed’s best friend must be willing to groom the Cocker frequently. Grooming includes brushing, bathing, and giving extra care to the eyes and ears. In addition, to keep the Cocker’s great looks, it’s best to have it professionally groomed and trimmed every few months. Obedience training is another requirement that a cocker’s best friend provides. Though the breed is friendly, it can be overly active and sometimes undisciplined. A best friend will make sure that the Cocker is trained from puppyhood on up so that a good relationship between man and dog is maintained. It’s also important that the obedience training is not harsh since Cocker’s have sensitive dispositions. Becoming a Cocker Spaniel’s best friend takes a bit more effort than some other breeds. However, the Cocker Spaniel remains a popular breed of dog for obvious reasons: it is a loving pet that values its best friend.

Is 3 miles running a day too much for a 14 month old American cocker spaniel puppy?
3 miles should be the longest you run with your cocker. You have to remember, she has very short legs and have to work a lot harder to cover that distance. Go slow and walk the distance at first and slowly work into a run/walk. I would suggest that you don't exceed 9:30 min/miles unless she is very skinny to avoid joint and shoulder injury.
