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.
