Cocker spaniels are named for their original purpose of hunting woodcocks, a type of game bird. The breed was developed in England and was particularly skilled at flushing out these birds from dense underbrush. The term "cocker" specifically refers to their association with hunting cock (woodcock), while "spaniel" denotes a group of hunting dogs known for their retrieving abilities.
