Cocker Spaniels

They should stop growing at around 1 year

Ear infections are hard to get rid of in long eared dogs. You'll need to clean the ear with an ear cleaning fluid, using a cotton ball. Be careful not to go too far into the ear canal. You will probably need to see the vet to get the proper drops to put into the ear once it's cleaned out. You have to be consistent with the cleaning and drops or it's a lost cause. Good luck.

The females are slightly smaller than the males. Females should be about 22-25 lbs. and males about 24-27 lbs. Any larger than that usually means they are overweight

up to 12,13 or 14 years I think

twice a day

yes they do few health thingys, brush them unless they have reallt short hair , walk them three to five times a day and they are kid freandlu. u just gotz advise or wht evr from a 13 year old who just turned thirteen!

It really depends what you want. Cocker spaniel's are often Bonkers, Mad, Mental and Crazy! Where as so are Cockapoo's. A cockapoo is a mixed breed cross between a Cocker spaniel and a poodle.

Poodle females are very nice and easy to potty train. I personally have a Cocker Spaniel and I love him to bits, he is going 7 soon and has calmed down a lot over the years, so always keep that in mind.

Just down the road from me lives a family with a labradoodle dog, a mixed breed cross between a labrador and a poodle, this is a big dog but is quite shy and grumpy. Most cross breeds have a very different personality other than Cocker Spaniel.

Not that I'm an expert on puppies or anything but I do know that cocker spaniels used to be used for picking up pigeons when they were shot (the pigeons) by people and they would bring them back to them. They dribble sometimes because their mouth has an outline that is quite soft and it dribbles. They have this soft jaw line because when they carried the pigeons they didn't want to hurt them - or something like that anyway.

Don't be put off cocker spaniels though because they are easy to train and are good around children. Also my dad used to have one and it didn't dribble so I personally think it's a load of rubbish. They do need quite a lot of grooming however but still don't be put off. Someone told my mum this (after I was begging to have a cocker spaniel) and now she seems really put off by them.

Normally there first is between the ages 6-9 months
then after that every 6 months.

Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocker_spaniel:

"Cocker Spaniels coats can come in a variety of colors including black, liver, red and lemon in solids. There are also black and tan, and sometimes liver and tan as well as a variety of color mixtures of those solid colors including roans, roan and tans, tricolors and those solid colors with additional white markings. Some colors are genetically possible such as a lemon tricolor, and an orange shade also exists, but is considered to be red when appearing in a solid colored dog.[17]"

The most common types of English Cocker Spaniel are "blue roan" a very dark blue/black colour and "brown roan" a tan/brown colour. The colouring is usually intermixed with white hair - the colouring usually appearing as spots / circles of colour. The spots can be small (1cm) or large (across the whole rump of the dog).

Of course you can. If you have a dog, and you have some piriton, it is physically possible to give the latter to the former. The question you should be asking is, "Is it safe, for the dog, for you to give a dog piriton?". But you didn't ask that question, so I won't answer it.

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.

I have a cocker spaniel with poodle mix dog, is it normal for them to get seizures?

There are but they're very rare it's usually to a pigmental mutation in the fur!

My 6 week old cocker spaniel pup weighs about 1.87kg :) He absolutely loves his food!

The answer to your question i believe is that the cocker spaniel. the word cocker came from the happy disposition and waging of the tail.

Puppies should get 5 meals a day and Adult dogs twice a day.

If you can't get to the groomer.......... Use a pair of safety scissors (they have a rounded tip).

A Cocker Spaniel's lifespan is from 9 to 13 years, but it can more depending whether its show-bred or work bred. Cocker Spaniel lifespan is between 9 and 15 years.

The life span of an American Cocker Spaniel is 12 - 15 years.

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. All puppies have short hair at first.

Some female dogs will undergo personality changes during this time, the most common changes being anxiety and irritability.
