Cocker Spaniels

at least 36" for a female, and a 40" for a male. Go a size up if you want them to be able to move.

Really fast!! I've got a cocker Spaniel and we entered her in a race once in a dog competition. She beat a gray hound without even trying! :)

Most dogs will kill chickens if they are not trained not to chase and kill things.

Fairly big but still puppy small rather.

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.

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.

Spaniels have been bred as hunting dogs in England for about 500 years.

The first identification of a "Cocker" Spaniel dates to the 1850's, though the breed was certainly around long before official breeding records were kept.

Like all dogs, cocker spaniels can be purchased through a pet store. Many people believe that supporting a pet store allows pet stores to continue to buy pets from farms and places with poor living conditions. One rewarding way to buy a dog is to adopt one through the SPCA or a nearby shelter.

A female dog (no matter the breed) should have at least two heat cycles before being bred for the first time. It's a good idea to have the dog examined by a veterinarian prior to breeding.

There are ALOT of different types of cocker spaniels. Most of them are not listed on the big sites, such as wikipedia. I have a murial spaniel, and took me ages to fin that out online. Its hard finding a good site with ALL of the types on there, but you'll get it! Here's what i say... There ar only 4 types of Cavilier King Charles Spaniels. These are the 4 colours. # Ruby(brown) # Black and Tan(black and white) # Tri colour(black, brown and white) # and finally brown and white(can't remember how to spell it!-Blehenim)

I have never herd of that

Everything!

The swallow any food good or bad for them, without thought, to point of excess.

It my understanding chocolate makes dogs sick, not sure, but I never give chocolate just in case.

-

I also advice not giving bones of any kind, even big bones, as they can and will splintered off pieces.

They will swallow small whole bone or piece of bones, these bone once swallowed can puncture, or lodge in their digestive tract killing them.

Cocker spaniels are small dogs species, with high metabolic rate, special when young and energetic, needing lots fats and protein.

They eat table scraps, and anything else you can give them, as long as it okay for you to eat it is okay for them.

They do ketch the same cold germs and infections we do, remember that before sharing food, when you are sick.

-

As far as dog food, they will eat most dog foods, but it is important to buy dog foods with high protein and fat content, more for younger dogs and less for older dogs.

They also love dog treats like any other dogs, remember best to get bigger once, they can not swallow whole.

The heaviest males weigh around 33lbs. my pure breed weighs around 70lbs.

Female dogs of all breeds have menses (called the "heat cycle", or estrus) twice a year on average starting at around 7-10 months of age.

A female dog will gain the most in health benefits if they are spayed before they have their first heat cycle.

An American cocker spaniel female can weigh anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds. A show quality female shouuld weigh about 15 pounds but my males weigh 30 pounds.

Cocker spaniels live up to a normal dog age which is 14. They also can live up to 18.

A balance is used to find the mass of anything, an electronic balance or a beam balance.
