Do cocker spaniels swim?
95% of dogs can swim. Cocker spaniels do swim but were naturally bred to hunt birds and small mammal's. Sometimes, if there is a duck in the water the cocker spaniel will leap and do whatever it takes to get that prey. So if you have a cocker spaniel and you find it attacking a bird in the backyard or trying to catch a squirrel this is perfectly normal.
What are good dogs for small yards and children?
A good dog for small yard and children would be probably a cocker spaniel or chihuahua. Cocker Spaniels are very nice dogs, and so are chihuahuas. Chihuahua can be very protective over your family, and they act as if they are big dogs and not so little. Cocker Spaniels I hear are very good dogs, and are the most well-behaved dog in the US. I strongly recommend those dogs.

Cocker spaniels are special because?
Today or yesterday? There was a type of dog referred to as a 'spaniel'. Spaniels were special because they made it easier for families to eat well. The spaniels were used to help catch or flush out birds so that us humans could kill the birds and eat them. Back then they did not have grocery stores in which to buy their foods and folks actually had to get up early and go find food. Many different types of Spaniels were bred for the many different types of bird hunting which then begot our Cocker spaniels who specialized in the 'cocks' which is a type of small bird. Today the Cocker spaniel is a family companion dog mostly but they do have many years of genetic bird flushing skills locked into their genes.
What are some characteristics of cocker spaniels?
Cocker Spaniel is the term used to describe two different but closely related breeds, the American and English Cocker Spaniel. Cocker spaniels are small dogs (generally 24-30 lbs.) that come in a range of colors, including liver, black, lemon, and red. They are generally playful, good-natured, and gentle. Although sometimes timid, a trained and socialized cocker spaniel will be peaceful towards people and other dogs, making them ideal for families with older children. They are intelligent and respond well to training. They do, however, they require a good deal of cleaning and brushing to maintain their coat and to alleviate dog odor. They are predisposed to ear and eye problems, things that should be checked regularly.
How fast do cocker spaniels grow?
It's quite shocking when their a puppy, just like a baby. They seem to shoot up. But they don't get that big so don't worry :) They grow to be... let me out it this way. When they are fully grown their head should be about the size they were when they a very small puppy :) so yes, pretty fast the first year, but then they slow down :)
Can cocker spaniels have short hair?
Hi I have also wondered this today, as My cocker is 5 months and quite small with short hair, But today we met another cocker who was much bigger and like a fur ball lol, and only a month older at 6 months. My cocker spaniel is a pedigree from working sogs, I wondered if working dogs have a shorter coat? Yes they can! But you need to know if yours is a short haired or long. All puppies have short hair at first.

What was the Cocker Spaniel first bred for?
Just after the turn of the 20th century, Alexander White of Spartanburg, South Carolina saw a small brown spaniel type dog wondering around after church service. The dog appeared to be a stray and he decided to take the dog home with him. He discovered that the dog had great hunting abilities. This stray had a wonderful bird sense. Alexander gave the dog to his hunting partner L. Whitaker Boykin. The dog was a male and he was given the name "Dumpy". The Boykin Spaniel breed has evolved from this one dog, with crosses to American Water Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, Pointers and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. It is used as a hardy retriever of upland birds as well as water fowl. The Boykin Spaniel is popular in the Southern United States among bird hunters. Its state of origin is South Carolina USA and South Carolina has designated the Boykin Spaniel its official state dog. In July 2005 the Boykin Spaniel Club of Breeders Assoc. of America was named by AKC as the official parent club. The Boykin Spaniel was an AKC FSS (Foundation Stock Service) breed for many years. The BSCBAA submitted their paperwork to AKC to progress into the miscellaneous group and was approved on February 9th 2007 with the effective date of January 1st 2008. Breeders hope to move the breed from the AKC miscellaneous class to the sporting group sometime in the future.
