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.
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.
The Cocker Spaniel Might Be The Dog For You?
If you’re interested in bringing a dog into your life, the cocker spaniel might be the dog of your dreams. This sturdy pooch is mid-sized and ready to work at any available opportunity. They’re of moderate intelligence, but most noticeable about them is their unbelievably sweet disposition. Few people can resist taking home a cocker spaniel that has looked them directly in the eyes. They practically beg you to be their owner and give them dog food. Be warned, though: This is a dog that needs to get its exercise. If you don’t exercise your cocker spaniel enough, its behavior will go from sweet to troublesome. Excessive barking is a sure sign that your cocker spaniel needs to get more exercise and less rest-time. The American cocker spaniels that we know and love are descended from 14th century English cocker spaniels. Chances are that 14th century English cocker spaniels were also 15-30 pounds, just like today’s American cocker spaniels. They were used to for bird hunting and some spaniels today are used for that reason also. They are excellent bird dogs. Your dog needs more than just exercise. It will need a mix of exercise, affection, and rest in order to live its life to the fullest. Make sure to take your cocker spaniel for regular visits to the vet. Cataracts and hip dysplasia are common medical conditions found in the breed. One of the biggest decisions facing you will be where to buy the cocker spaniel. They’re available at pet stores but you can find them at animal shelters as well. Mixed breeds will have some of the traits of the spaniel as well. Wherever you buy your dog, make sure that it didn’t come from a puppy mill. Buying a shelter dog is one of the ways to rule out that the dog was the product of a puppy mill. No one operates a puppy mill and then gives the pups away for free. When you bring your new cocker spaniel home, you’ll have a faithful friend for life. Read a lot of literature about training your new dog and be the leader that it needs in order to be a happy canine.
What does a cocker spaniel has droopings?
Not that I'm an expert on puppies or anything but I do know that cocker spaniels used to be used for picking up pigeons when they were shot (the pigeons) by people and they would bring them back to them. They dribble sometimes because their mouth has an outline that is quite soft and it dribbles. They have this soft jaw line because when they carried the pigeons they didn't want to hurt them - or something like that anyway. Don't be put off cocker spaniels though because they are easy to train and are good around children. Also my dad used to have one and it didn't dribble so I personally think it's a load of rubbish. They do need quite a lot of grooming however but still don't be put off. Someone told my mum this (after I was begging to have a cocker spaniel) and now she seems really put off by them.
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.
