Cocker Spaniels

A Cocker Spaniel, like all dogs, belongs to the phylum Chordata. This phylum includes all animals with a notochord, which in vertebrates becomes the spinal column. The Cocker Spaniel specifically falls within the class Mammalia, the order Carnivora, and the family Canidae.

Yes, cocker spaniels are carnivores and primarily eat meat-based diets. Their diet should consist of high-quality protein sources to meet their nutritional needs. It's important to provide a balanced diet with the right amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

Reversing the red and black hookups when jump starting a car can cause serious damage to the electrical system, including blown fuses, damaged electronics, and even a risk of fire. It is important to always double-check the correct polarity before jump starting a vehicle to avoid causing any harm.

It could but it is better to leave food down with it all the time because of how much he needs. If you persist in feeding him once a day, give him about 2 1/2 cups to make sure he isn't going hungry and leave it down all day because he will not eat it all at once. Dogs have a tendency to eat and then snack from time to time.

This is a good question, it depends on the cocker spaniel, each one is different.

Most can only can jump 2 to 3 feet from stand still, higher if they are moving.

Usually a six foot fence, is high enough, to keep them in their pen.

A cocker spaniel when running, will jump very high, usually around 4 feet.

But one trick they do, is to jump onto something they can dig their nails in, and propel even higher.

But I have watched, a cocker spaniel jump over a six foot fence, without touching the fence, in single leap.

They some times will chase other animals, jumping up onto very high places, were they need help getting down.

But as a cocker spaniel ages, they tend jump less, not jumping at all later in life.

All puppies should receive puppy food, and be fed three times daily, for AT LEAST the first year of life. Check with your Vet for his/her recommendation of puppy food for small breeds.

I fed my westie, Mop, puppy food till she was one and a half. :D

It is cutting off of part of the length of a cocker spaniels tail, by means of amputation, usually 4 or 5 vertebrate back.

In some countries, Docking is illegal, some states in the USA have considered banning the practice.

It is necessary, only if you want to register the puppies, with club kennel like the American kennel Club.

Amputations of the tail, are done fairly soon depending on size and health of the puppies.

Veterinarians usually perform the procedure, as it is painful for the puppies with possibilities of complications.

Biggest worry, is to keep the area of scaring clean & sterile, so infection does not sit in.

Again Docking a dogs tail is risky, you are cutting through flesh, muscle, between vertebrates, and the spinal cord it's self, having to leave enough skin to hang well over.

Some Kennel owners will perform the procedure, it important that it is done right, a poor job can cause issues and complications the whole dog's life.

The Irish Water Spaniel is a dog. It is the one of the oldest and most certainly the largest of the spaniel family. They are built as a hunting companion that is great in water.

There are a couple of types with long ears; could be a Basset Hound. Do you have a picture?

And the answer is...

because the dog that is whining wants to make friends with the other dog and wants to "get a closer look".

As soon as it looks fluffy or too fluffy about once every 3 to 4 months

Answer
Here's how you can know:
1.) The cocker spaniel has papers from the AKC.
2.) You have examined many cocker spaniel pictures and know the breed well enough to tell by looking at it.

I have 3 border collies and it costs about $70 dollars per month. I hope that helps. I also have 7 pomeranians

Yes, you can if the 2 males grew up together but without any pea-hens present because by breeding season they will naturally fight .

Mine is seven and still going strong, I think the average is something like 10-13 years though.

How about, Biscuit, Bailey, Princess, Carly, or even Stacy! Just think of a name from your heart! It's alright if you mess up! In real life, call her what you want to!

It's not at all a good thing for them to loose there teeth but my cocker spaniel lost 1 tooth when she was about 11 months old.

a cocker spaniel is worth one thousand dollars.

The dog's ear will smell very badly and there may be some discharge coming out of their ear.

If you're not concerned about shedding yes. We have a pair of cocker spaniel/ jack russel mixed breed dogs. They're actually litter mates. They are wonderful with my two daughters who are 9yrs old & 11yrs old. They get along with our 3 cats. In fact they seem to think that the cats are theirs. They also get along well & spend a lot of time playing with our 7yr old Lab Staffordshire Terrier mix. They are both very playful, loyal & affectionate as well as very intelligent. They are also excellent watch dogs. They are high energy & very playful but they're also very personable & love to just lay near their people & nap. The only thing I don't like about these guys is that they shed a lot...& I mean a lot.

no. dispite what some myths say (ex, they can only see in black or white) dogs are capable of seeing some colors.

They can get dirty just like we do. Cocker Spaniels are known for ear problems, so be sure the ears look healthy inside and smell good. If they are red or stink, then take your Cocker in to see your Veterinarian to check out the ears. A good grooming on a regular basis will help with any body odor. Also your pet could have impacted anal glands. A good groomer will know how to properly brush out, clip, clean out ears, trim nails and express anal glands or your could learn to do it all yourself. Don't forget about checking the insides of the ears.

they vary depending on percentage as well as the parents colouring etc. Mine looks more like a cocker spaniel but smaller in size
