At varies times, many decades ago, the Cocker spaniel was the most popular breed in the US. That was a long time ago, but I’m a still a huge fan of this breed. Here are some pros and cons:
- Size: Easy to travel with and content in small environments.
- Grooming: Some cockers have extremely dense coats and others are more sparse. Regardless, they require regular maintenance. The average owner can learn to keep on top of it.
- Ears: The fringe gets dirty and the ear canals are prone to infection if neglected.
- Temperament: Just like all dogs, cockers’ temperaments vary. Owners need to take notice, be respectful and train accordingly. Cockers generally are very sweet and extremely easy to trained with the proper approach.
