What is the smallest cocker spaniel dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cockers are generally between 13 to 15" tall and 15 to 30 pounds. The smallest I have seen was 11" tall and 10 pounds at 2 yrs of age. Many people call smaller Cockers mini cockers but really there is no such thing. It is just a smaller Cocker. If you are looking for a small Cocker make sure both the parents are small because the larger size is dominant. You can not go by the puppy's size either. I have seen many times a puppy that was half the size of it's siblings catch up to them by adulthood. And have seen larger Cockers give birth to a whole litter of tiny puppies that were only 1.5 pounds at 4 weeks of age but all the puppies were around 30 pounds full grown. Smaller Cockers are not to the AKC Standards so you would never be able to show it.

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Most of the pups in the litter are 4-8 and are brwon,white,cream,red,or black. The average litter size is 6, although I have personally know litters from just 1 puppy to 9, although I understand some bitches have had 12!!!! There are actually 17 official colours varying from solid, roan, parti to tri!! This is believed to be one of the reasons why the cocker spaniel is so very popular.

What was the Cocker Spaniel first bred for?

Asked by Kooikeria

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.
