Owners may find that these dogs are difficult to housebreak, and often barking can be a problem.

Also, during grooming sessions you should check the ear canals to ensure that they are clean and dry. The life expectancy of the Cocker Spaniel is around 10-14 years, and there are a number of health problems that are linked to this breed. This includes PRS. HD, cataracts, autoimmune problems, skin conditions, and epilepsy. You should ensure that the parents of the Cocker Spaniel have OFA and CERF certificates.
