- COCKER SPANIEL Pros And Cons.
When it comes to the Pros And Cons of Cocker Spaniels, it can simply come down to personal preference.
Cocker Spaniels are very friendly dogs but you may have heard of Cocker Rage Syndrome. While I have never experienced this rage myself with any of my Cockers, it does exist so keep it in mind.
Of course, a Cocker Spaniel's temperament will vary from dog to dog and the environment in which they are raised.
Many people report problems with their Cocker Spaniel biting but again, this can be a problem with any breed of dog, not just a Cocker.
Cockers are prone to some health problems, especially with their ears. This is down to the sheer size of them and unfortunately can't be helped but can be kept under control with regular cleaning and care.
Some Cocker Spaniel Problems won't even be a problem to some people while others may find they can't stand the smell of their ears for example.

The only con is that your heart is going to be broken when they pass away.
So true and unfortunately this happened to us just 3 weeks ago. Our gorgeous boy was 7 days short of his 14th birthday.
@@cockerspanielworld Same here :( my baby was 13 when she passed away end of April. Very peacefully slipped away :( leaving a massive hole in my heart.
@@olafbitter3999 It's awful isn't it? They bring so much joy, just need to remember all the happy times together.
@@cockerspanielworld It is indeed. They are full members of the family.
Yes, very sorry for you losses. We did not like the thought of being without dogs, so when our two were nine we got another. Then a year later we got his brother. Now we wonder how we could live without four cockers.
There are zero cons to having a cocker - they are incredibly loving and most of the cons listed are due to owner issues. They are a wonderful addition to your family
I have a question, mine has started destroying my items, he just started yesterday. He has toys,we have play time, and go for long walks.
@@avintagedollintime9134 they sometimes get super crazy. You can get on a pet store those sprays that taste bitter to make him/her stop munching on everything. Mine used to do that a lot with couches.
@@subarashi263 mines a mixed, when I first brought him from the shelter he was timid and quiet. & now he has ripped through my doll collection and bears, including my sandals. Came home in the morning and my apt was turned upside down :/. My mom says he howls through out the night when I leave. I'm trying to correct the behavior, ima buy the spray, and spray away 😆 lol
COCKER SPANIELS ARE EVIL.
100% agreed.Mine had temporary digestive issues when he was younger, but he grew out of them and lived over 15+ years!! Got him in January 2008 (6 months+ old) and just passed away this March 😢 💔 😪. Best dogs ever *and cutest* (only con IS a broken heart 💔)
I swear my cocker spaniel was human. She really acted like a human. I miss her everyday. She lived for 15 years 🙏🏽🤎
My too, i was really connected with him, he lived 13 years 😢
@@shankeeza4408 That connection is real 🤞🏽❤️
I know my cocker spaniel was just the best sweetie. He died maybe of cancer or age, in his later life he did grow cancerous warts. But he was still moving till he couldn’t anymore. Till his last days he acted like a young puppy. It hit slowly I expected it, but I miss him dearly. He lived for 15 years as well. He was just the sweetest dog.
@@ghostlyhedgehog2683 I think my dog had a cancerous wart as well. I was basically her nurse in last days. I watched her die but I know our dogs are at peace now. 🙏🏽
@@aye.naomii Yes, our dogs are at peace now. Probably off somewhere being their cute sweet selves playing with other dogs happy and healthy.
When I was 13 I had a cocker spaniel puppy named Rocky. I really loved him. My mom and aunt didn’t and tried to convince me to give him up with money and other stuff only for them to get rid of him behind my back. Rocky in the short time you were in my life I will miss you for the rest of mine, I will never get over losing you. I still cry just by thinking about you…
They are oh so empathetic and know emotional triggers of the humans they live with. If I'm crying in my room with the door closed, he'll come and whine outside for me to open it (he just knows that I'm going through something) and he'll come and jump up and down until I let him lick my tears. I sometimes tell him "at least leave me alone to be sad and cry please" but I appreciate him doing that more than anything when nobody else is caring. He makes me smile ❤
OMG my cocker girl licks my tears too when I'm sad, they are amazing creatures that deserve to be loved tenfold.
wow. that is touching.
That’s a cocker for you!
I have lost my boy last year in an unfortunate accident he was 3 years old , as grown up man I have cried non stop for a month and lost 20lbs. I have lost my father and other family members but this one was one of the most devastating pain I have ever had . I can not hold my tears every time I think about him and hope can see him somewhere somehow afterlife . I was blessed to got his brother destiny was on my side because the week he passed away did my best and found the person I got him , small village in northern China (expat living in China ). His mother and father were alive and just 1 week old pregnant !!!! I flew for 3 hours to northern China and got his brother . Some power in the universe helped me otherwise I was going to be broken for the rest of my life .
I'm sorry for your pain🥴🙏
Just know he is waiting for you in heaven🙏🙏🙏
I believe you will see your beloved dog again in heaven❤️I just got a cocker spaniel puppy and my family and I just adore her!
That is both a sad yet a happy story, stay strong buddy!
I am so sorry mate! Can’t imagine the pain you endured during the loss of your cocker baby.
He is waiting for you.
Im sorry for your loss and totaly understand your réaction . I would be the same 😢
You have just described my cocker spaniel absolutely perfectly except for the last one. He is the absolute best dog I have ever had. You missed one pro point though, they are highly empathetic and sensitive to your emotional wellbeing and will do what they can to help you feel better if you are feeling down. They are joyful, happy dogs.
I so so agree with you. If I'm crying in my room with the door closed, he'll come and whine outside for me to open it (he just knows that I'm going through something) and he'll come and jump up and down until I let him lick my tears. I sometimes tell him "at least leave me alone to be sad and cry please" but I appreciate him doing that more than anything when nobody else is caring. He makes me smile ❤
Yes if I pretend to cry he runs around barking showing his nose on me! Also my cocker does that rage thing but doesn’t bite just growls trying to look scary
I have only known one cocker who had a nasty temperament. her name was Sylvia and she was a bitch in all its meanings! She was a lovely looking dog and fortunately her puppies didn't inherit that trait.
my dog learns new tricks in minutes, she’s very smart 🥰
@Leetye We are living in the End times as prophesied in the book of Revelation in the Word of God. This world is passing away quickly towards the New World Order, One World Government and One World Religion - The Anti Christ Beast system. The world is dying.. There is an urgency.. *No man, institution or government can save us from what is coming.* . PLEASE do not be deceived! Death and destruction are upon us! ♡ There is good news, and that is what I want to share! There is a Blessed hope in Jesus Christ, Who will come down and meet and rescue all those who have put their faith and trust in Him in what is called the Rapture event. They will be saved from the judgement of God upon evil which will pour down on this earth very shortly. Those that have not put their trust and faith in Him will be here for the Great Tribulation of death and horrific destruction. You don't want to be here.. ♡
Without Jesus the penalty of sin is death - eternal condemnation in hell. Mark 10:18 says "No one is good--except God alone.". However, John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

*The Gospel of Jesus Christ* ♡♡♡
Today is the day of Salvation: Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could ever make in their lives concerning eternal life? If you die today are you going to heaven? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The apostle Paul tells us what the gospel is: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Gospel means "good news." Your debt has been paid, the death penalty has been paid, you are free. Here's the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Jesus brought in a little child as a living object lesson to show who enters the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 - Jesus said: "Unless you become like this little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as
*ABC's of Salvation*
*A* - Admit that you are a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven). Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
*B* - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
*C* - Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." Don't wait until later - do this now. -- we are not guaranteed tomorrow. Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
♡ *SALVATION PRAYER* ~ ♡♡♡ "Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I know I deserve the consequences of my sin. I repent and turn from my unbelief to belief in You. I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins, shed your blood, was buried, and rose from the dead. I have decided to place my faith in You, trusting only in Your shed blood as sufficient to save my soul and take me to Heaven. Thank you, Jesus for saving me! Amen. ♡♡♡

@@ArnethProductions did i ask?
Bible thumper reporter
Being gun dogs that flush and retrieve birds, Cockers are very smart and focused on their humans, very eager to please.
I've noticed my Cockers tend to be very polite compared to my other dogs. They wait their turn for treats and petting patiently. They just act more polite compared to my Pugs and Chihuahuas. Only dogs that out do their politeness are my Great Danes.
I always have a pack of dogs and I say my Cockers aren't just the beauty of the gang, they are also the brains of the operation.
To everyone here who has lost their beloved Cocker Spaniel or dog of any breed. I extend my deepest condolences to you and your families for your losses and will include you all in my prayers. In Sympathy; Memory Eternal.
That is so kind of you. Thank you
They can be astonishingly intelligent. My daughters recognises toys by name and picks up new tricks in hours. Still steals food though.....
Yeah every Spaniel we have had which is Cockers and Springers have picked up training easily and quickly and like you say, they would get different toys by name. I have to agree with the food aspect, they have all been greedy. The only Cocker I have ever had that wouldn't pinch food was when I was younger and lived with my parents. I came home one night after a night out drinking and had a takeaway pizza. I woke up in the morning, the pizza box was on the bedroom floor with the lid open, 3 or 4 slices left in the box and my poor Cocker Spaniel was sat there crying and drooling but hadn't touched it. She must have been there all night bless her.
@@cockerspanielworld Mine did! You can't be unhappy
I lost my beautiful blue roan five days ago. He was 16.5 years old. My heart is literally broken. I miss him so, so much. My beautiful boy Jasper%🌈
Thank you......he was so special because I took him from a rescue in Mallorca. He was 11 months old. Yet, that boy had the sweetest nature ever. There was not one bad bone in his body and he welcomed many fosters and rescues. I had no idea what breed he was....I had to look it up online!
He was my constant companion for 15.5 years......we were rarely apart. Spaniels are the best and when the time you s right I shall be looking earnestly for another rescue.
He was 16.5, you must have so many memories. Hope you finally get over him but always remember him.
Mine of 18 1/2 had to go.....miss duke so much....love him
I’m so sorry, it must be awful for you, but remember all the good times and the wonderful life they had with you💕
Is he gay
My crocker new my soul I swear....he was the light of my life..l lost him a year ago and it has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through. 💔 I got him when he was 9 weeks old and past at 12 yrs old. He got along with all animal's and all people n kids. He was one of a kind! I still miss him!!
I had 3 dogs in my life. But my cocker was my love. I never knew any other dog with such a tenderness, lawalty and intelligence. 🥰
That cocker rage thing is real! My dog has snapped at me after waking up several times. I learned to pet it a few minutes later rather than immediately. You can tell it’s just a natural reaction (probably a defensive mechanism against sneaky predators) that they don’t control.
I've had several Cockers of various, colours, all English. I've never experienced the rage syndrome you spoke of. Most I've had, and those other people I've known have, have been Tealeafs. Our Fudge should have been named Fagan, as he's a hoarder, a quick, sly thief who will be off with your tea towels, knickers, socks, tea shirts, cardboard, paper, anything that he can get. He's easy to take stuff from him, even though he grumbles, it's a game for him. Every Cocker I've owned has had a tendency to be extremely territorial, this can lead to fits of barking if not taken in hand.(like most dogs) The pro of this is, for a smallish breed, they have a large powerful bark, and will guard the car, pram, child or you to the death. Their love and loyalty goes that deep.
They sulk, every Cocker I've had has sulked, hating to be left behind, or out of the family fun. I've never had a greedy one, but, I've had many a fussy eater. Most I've had lived up to 10 to 13 years, loss to Cancer or Stroke being the main culprit to them heading for the Rainbow Bridge.
They're good with other pets, we have several rescue cats, and he loves his Feline friends, especially Boots who follows him around the house, and sleeps with him.
Fudge is my Assistance Dog, He is Rambunctious, Gregarious, Funny, lLoveable, Naughty and Brave. However, as soon as his harness is on, or he's told he's 'working', he becomes all business. Even if I have to forgive him for the odd sock, that makes its way from the washing machine to his bed once in a while! Lol!
Another down side is, they like to sniff too much. Sometimes it is a struggle to get anywhere with a Cocker Spaniel because they have their nose to the ground, pulling back on the lead.
They are gun dogs looking for that cock in the field. Have the joy is letting them sniff and enjoy the world around them.
After beautiful 18 years together Barry, no longer by my side but forever in my heart 😢❤️
We lost our Guinness last month. Really hard to accept.
Cocker Spaniel World Yes, very hard I understand your pain, so sorry for your lost 😢
@@Nisasa83 lost mine recently of 18 1/2....miss my buddy duke......
My 5 year old cocker spaniel Parker is still as energetic as when he was a puppy. Thankfully a good way to tire him out is to take him outside a few times a day and blow bubbles for him. He runs around and chases them and loves it. Cocker spaniels are great dogs and big time lovers not to mention absolutely adorable!
I've had three of them,and all of them proved to be fantastic, loving dogs. I still miss and cry for them many times. Never regretted having them.
My cocker spaniel was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I miss him every day 💙
I had one too when I was 1 my cocker looked at me as I was her kid or her baby I would allways with her but 9 years later she died by cancer....can’t say anymore
I-I....

Having had many breeds of dogs in my life, our cocker is 8 years old and I genuinely cannot find a bad side to her. She is a true delight. (She is from genuine working stock with the shorter ears).
My cocker is 10. Bad side = Begging, she whistles 😃
What's the best breed you've had? I'm just looking to get a dog for the first time. Cheers.
@@ejkalegal3145
What about the lovely intelligent Jack Russel?
😊
@@ejkalegal3145 we have just bought a cocker spaniel and she is already loved so much.
I just got a cockapoo and he is the cutest fur ball ever!
The.best.dog.ever 🙏🏻💛 we said goodbye to our spaniel one month ago, miss her so so much. The weird thing after having a spaniel is that your can recognise this breed just from a barking and hundreds of metres away 😄
Great breed for a family indeed. They do love kids. When my little cousins would come over my spaniel got so happy ready to play and get attention.
I used to have a cocker spaniel he passed away at 17 years old
Wow 17 years old......so lucky to have him in your life for that long.
17 is very old, mine passed at 13 just a few months ago. too bad they can't live twice as long with half the health problems
That's an amazing long life in dog years
I'm 55 and not only grew up with Cockers but have had several through the years. I found the list of pros and cons to be fair. I've heard of rage, but as the commentator stated, have never seen it, nor do I know of anyone who has. My dogs have been with me through the ups and downs and have made some situations easier to take. I have a wall of photos of those that have passed, the memories always bring a smile.
If you're thinking of getting one for the first time, be prepared for a handful, a loving handful, but a handful none the less.
My old cocker had rage, she was lovely with people, but she didn’t like other dogs 😂
@@noctuaryfahy1509 mine does have some anger issues lol. Other than that, he's lovely. I love him so much.
My cocker spaniel was just like a little kid 🥰he needed lots of attention and love and he was such a scared little baby. Sometimes at night he would get scared of stray dogs howling and then come close to me and sleep on my chest 🥰

Had a Cocker Spaniel for 16 years. Aside from having some skin allergies and ear problems he was one of my favorite pets and was always happy to cuddle with you. ❤️
It's great that you presented everything not just the experience with your dog. This makes for a more robust view point. I really appreciate it ♥️ great video
I lost my black cocker spaniel to cancer 14 years ago and I still find myself crying sometimes thinking about his sweet face. He had the cocker rage syndrome, it is exactly like you described. I would stay for example on my PC and he would sleep by my legs under the table, if anyone would approach (no matter if it was a member of the family or not) he would start growling agressively and jump to attack. Talking to him would not do anything, it was like a fog cloud was on his brain. We would normally just leave him be for about a minute and the rage would suddenly stop, his eyes would clear and it was like he didn't even remember he did anything. Very energetic and athletic dog, he would carry wood logs heavier than him. Also, very smart. I managed to count over 100 words that he would recognize.
My cocker spaniel is 15 years and 9months old, and he still have load of energy. Although he has more bad days as well. He is such a loving and loyal dog. I love him so much.
I'm a cat person, but I did have one dog in my life, and it was an English Cocker Spaniel. I can say that all said in this video is true. As for my dog specifically, she hated kids and would hide from them all the time, but she would try to be as nice as possible. As in she wouldn't go to bite them if they didn't pester her A LOT. Same goes for any puppies or small dogs. My dog was chique and loved herself a tall gentleman dog.
She was really smart, learned commands, and we groomed her at home as much as we could and we did well, I think.
Other cons specific to my dog were that she absolutely couldn't be left alone. She wailed and cried and whined. And she also cried and wailed and whined when we came home. Also, please, don't feed cocker spaniels from the table. They are perpetually hungry, and you won't do them any good while stuffing them constantly.
Other than that, it's a good breed, really friendly and cute and smart. Just don't spoil them!
Mine has a con where she reacts very aggressively to the cats, but other times couldn’t care less about them so I’m always (as are the cats!) on watch for that and have given them their own safe areas. A pro though, she is a giver. If you come home or sometimes just enter the room she has to find a gift and bring it to you. We call it her tribute.😂 It’s the most adorable thing when she excitedly squeaks and wags her whole back end as she brings you a manky old sock.
I’ve been lucky to have many cockers, both as personal pets and as fosters. Venus, (my first) was the best dog in the world, blind at two and not a hesitation to anything in life. Her companion, Mr. Zippy, was a rescue from an abuse situation and was a beautiful pure black cocker that became the most fun to ride with. Both lived to 14, and passed in my arms…tragic…then came Buzzby…had him 10 years (he was a rescue at 4), and we travelled all over the country and he helped train many rescues. He was in an accident at 14 and his passing affected me greatly…now, my best friend Bailey is my constant companion and is a perfect example of the breed. I love all dogs but cocker spaniels are the ones that have made my life so great….RIP Venus, Mr. Zippy, and the monster spaniel that was Buzzby!!
What best diet for them you’d recommend
The only con is they do shed a lot but you learn to live with that and why you get back repays the mess many times over, 15 years of unconditional love,loyalty and affection makes it worth it
I have had many English Cockers. The only one who shed was the 'red and white', really caramel
and white. I have a 'blue roan' now who doesn't shed. They are as wonderful as you all say.
I have had an American Cocker Spaniel for 11 years now and he has been the best dog ever. He has never bitten and hardly barks. They are the most caring dogs I have ever known, I highly recommend these dogs for anyone!
I had the most beautiful cocker spaniel named Buffy. She was wicked smart, loved to eat just about anything, and had the energy of a puppy until she was ten!
I have had two cockers. First one was a buff color and had her 10yrs. Our second one was black. We were blessed to have her 15 yrs. I would to get another one! One day! The very best family dogs.
Food is a Cockers education, they are really very intelligent, use it wisely and you will have a very happy and clever dog.
I have an orange roan cocker spaniel...she is the sweetest girl,she love cuddles and is friendly with everyone,she plays well and gets along with other dogs too...i love her sooo much🥰 it is true-they are best breed for family dogs💕
My doggo is about 7 ½ right now and I'm so sad that he's getting older :( he is my first pet and the reason moving across the country wasn't completely heartbreaking. I absolutely love him. He's my life. ❤
Oh no! You're in for a world of trouble when his time to go comes.
I know since my former Cocker Spaniel was like 99% of my self-confidence and I used to have the same mindset as you do when he was 7 years old.
Mine is julie.. We adopted her before 8 months.. Now we can't imagine our life without her even a single day.. I love her
I have a cocker and she's mental, she's always ready to go, you could go for a 15 mile walk and she will be still ready to go. Also greedy, the cons on this video are spot on. They're extremely loyal and very affectionate. But if you're not careful they can become quite aggressive. If you get a cocker make sure you socialise them as much as possible when young. But with the right upbringing they're a fab dog.
We have Albie he’s 5 months old now and I can honestly say he is the sweetest little fella we could wish for. I’ve never seen a Dog get to food ANY food so quickly in all of my life, it’s gone in under 15 secs.
Pay careful attention to any CS puppy you are thinking of giving a home to especially the eyes as genetic conditions are more common than you would expect even from well respected breeders.
Ours was a very good-looking, smart, friendly cocker. It's over 7 years since we lost him. But he still lives in our heart and a very important part of my family. I wish I could have another cocker some time in future.
My puppy cocker spaniel is due to be born in 2 weeks and will be coming home mid November I am so incredibly excited and can not wait to love my dog unconditionally and go on so many adventures
Enjoy every moment.
Hi, have you got your puppy now? How have the first few days been? I'm picking mine up on the 3rd of December
My grandma ALWAYS talks about her cocker spaniels she had when younger! She sadly had to give them up because of allergies :(
Such a shame she had to give them up.....lovely dogs.
they are the true goodest bois
I've had mine for 3 weeks ,he's 4 months old and getting him was best thing I've ever done , he's not crazy and loves to cuddle and chill and is so well behaved for a puppy, get one if your thinking about it
This is accurate, but I feel that the Cocker's greed towards food has been downplayed. I swear mine had cheese GPS and was nearly able to levitate chicken breasts. I forgot to mention how manipulative she was. Blondes...
😄
My Cocker's only only wanted and no one eles'
Hey! Loved the video, we've just got our cocker spaniel pup and are enjoying watching him grow, looking forward to more video's
My friend Mojo passed away 2 years ago I still miss him very much. He was 13 and had kidney issues. He was a fantastic companion and his own dog. I can however attest to the rage con. He would literally go beserk especially if one messed with his 'property' I have the scars to prove this. It is increadible how much I miss him.
I had a black Cocker Spaniel, she was the most wonderful dog. She passed 10 years ago. I miss her.
I'm on my third Cocker Spaniel. My current boy is now a 4 1/2 year old beige and white, pure bred American Cocker. And my boy has cocker rage syndrome. It's crazy. It comes out of nowhere and when it's over he acts like he has no idea what happened. I have learned to live with it as it only happens with me, his owner. And I love him so much. I got him at 8 weeks from a very well established, (32 years), breeder. I wish there was something I could do, but I haven't found anything yet. Oh, his name is Kona and I live in Orange County, California.
Beautiful dogs. Very intelligent too.
Mi experiencia es fabulosa amo a mis cockers ellos son cariñosos..... Me encantan he tenido otras razas pero está me gusta mucho
Its incredible how i did a simple serch on cockers in another website and this vid pops up in my recomendations.
Most beautiful dog in the world 🐶💝💝💝💝💝😚❤❤❤🐶 thank you very much for sharing your videos !
It breaks my heart to hear that so many have lost their beloved cocker. I feel you. I have my LadyBlu. She is 4. She is such a joy. Many of the comments apply to her also. She is smart, funny and really looks after me and make me laugh all the time. It's just her and I. I have learned so much from her as she has from me. Also, she is spoiled rotten. She even spends time at the doggie daycare weekly to socialize with her own kind.
This was VERY accurate
Very clever dogs. I used to have a cocker spaniel and I did dog agility with him. He was super smart, he learned it all so quickly.
We just picked up our little boy today, our last 3 dogs were golden retrievers who we adored, but we thought we would get a cocker this time, so looking forward to training him up and getting to know him .
We had 40 years with Golden - and then a cockapoo! I had thought I was a " big dog" person but that little guy was perfect. Easier to handle and still a sturdy hunting dog who loved to track. What a special dog.
Very usefull and very true list, thank you
We got a Cocker from people whose baby started to have allergic reactions to dogs ...
So my mom took her in last year, at less than a year old. Very very energetic, and also very stubborn. But i soon realized that when i put my foot down, as in laying down the law, she became more pliable, but only some ... With some training i know she will be very obedient.
One thing of her that i realized, was that of all the dogs that we have owned, she was the only one that will actually look up and bark at the birds sitting on tree
branches or telephone wires.
But she loves to play very much.
I never thought in a million years, that i will a take like in a Cocker Spaniel.
They are very very intelligent.
Cocker spaniels are intelligent and fostering aliens from another planet
Very accurate observations. Pretty much right on. My cocker never hurt a fly but would go absolutely mental if she was in the car and someone approach the window.........including the poor guy at the car wash. I have had ECS all my life and just recent lost my 14 year old Stella.
Sorry for your loss Mark.....Guinness, our black Show Cocker who features in some of our videos passed away recently, 14 too
Thank you for sharing
Amazing dogs. Best friends ever!
Thanks
Thanks this really helped me I just god a new cocker spaniel pup and I did notice she’s very playful
Had a small buff decades ago as a youth.
Smartest dog ever. Super agile. She would "piddle" we very excited. Mostly when I hadn't seen her in a few days, but others in the family too. 3 kids, 3 dogs to raise.
Of course, mine could climb. I mean ladders, trees, chain link fence. Ya She would smack our lever style doorknobs in the house to let herself out. Had to change a few doors handles to solve that.
While I was a good shot, I didn't take to bird hunting like my stepdad and brother.
I did go out pheasant (my favorite hunt) and should natural sway smelling and stop before a bush. Turn her head and look at me...that look.."hey I want to flush!" and "GO!" Bird flushed and in the bag. She never had a problem with loudness. Many a Saturday morning I would wake up and my dog had been stole to go birding. I had to put my foot down on Goose. My argument was she would try to get the goose out of the water, and at 15" and just 23 lbs it was too dangerous. I won that battle at least lol.
Dang it. I loved that dog.
RiP : A touch of HEATHER.
a Pure bread akc that had 3 litters of tri colors and never lost the lust for adventure.
Oh, yes, I love the cockers. My 6th is gjetting on 10 yeaes noe.. They are the most loving, beautiful and fun dogs ever. Must Havem!!
I have a cocker spanial highly intelligent,understands me, listen to what I say. It is more than a dog
I love them so much ❤️ beautiful dogs,my Charlie lieves 14 years I miss them ,I think about him all my days.Rest in peace my love 💔💔💔💔
I have now had three working cocker spaniels. My friend has a show cocker and they play extremely well together. However seeing them together you can really see the differences, particularly in energy levels. They both go to Agility classes and my Tommy is so much faster though both really enjoy running the course
Absolutely accurate!
Great video 👏🏼
Based on my 5 1/2-year-old cocker, they will bark at any animal that enters the yard. They are surprisingly fast and will track, catch and kill rabbits. Mine has killed 3 of them. They will eat everything in sight so be careful not to overfeed them. They are the sweetest most loveable dogs ever and absolutely love people but they hate being alone. Ours follows us everywhere we go.
aside from the rage thing and silky fur these traits also apply to my collie lol im partial to cockers because my downstairs neighbor when i was growing up had a golden colored cocker spaniel and i LOVED that dog.
In my family we used to have a cocker Spaniel.
The third one, who arrived when I was at the hardest stage of my life, came as a gift from my mother and brother. The guy in question was a black and tan cocker (a mixture of brown and red) with a mask on his face and chest. I called him Argos and with time we became inseparable. Argos lived 13 happy years and unfortunately my mother had to put him down, as he was suffering a lot from various illnesses due to his age. Several years have passed since then, but even so, Argos will always be a part of me, his memory is still alive and beating in my heart.
It is true that cockers have temperament and more strength than one would think, but in return, they have an unlimited capacity to give love, loyalty and fun.
I just got mine today! He’s such a good boy and didn’t cry in his crate! :) he’s so sweet! Can someone give me some tips?
years ago I got to look after a retired stud male cocker called Glenlionel Copperglow. He was a bit fat, but had the classic cocker temperament. The reason I got him was that his owners were getting new kennels built so they aggisted all their dogs. The first day I tried to take him for a walk he struggled to walk 200 metres so I carried him back home. I worked on his fitness gradually and within two months he would accompany me on on my 5 kilometre non-stop run along the hard sand at the beach in front of our house. When his owners came to collect him they couldn't believe his condition so they let start breeding again. He lived for another three happy years.
I had a cocker-yorkie mix for 16 years. She was SOOOOO cute. Basically a mini cocker spaniel and all black up till she got very old. Even at like 10 years old people thought she was a puppy still. She was sassy and ruled the house, that’s for sure. she was definitely a people dog. Didn’t like other dogs at all but did like cats and loved people. (Most of the time lol) I miss her so much. 💔 if/when I get another dog hopefully it will either be a weenie or a cocker. 😂
Hello from me and Bella. I can relate as an owner of this breed. Very funny dogs. I do share your experience. I will share with the community in my channel as well.
For experienced owners only. Happiest when worked, great all round dog for forest hunting birds.
I have an English Cocker spaniel and a cocker field spaniel and I love cocker spaniel the most.It is my fav breed apart from English golden retriever and Labrador retriever
Cockers are a very special breed, very different than any other I've ever encountered. I've found I can't live without one in my life. Short story.
I've been raising, training and just plain loving the hell out of Cockers for the last 40 years. During those 40 years my and my parent's house had multiple Cockers and I groomed the entire pack, up to 10 of them at one point.. Eventually my parents passed, their Cockers passed, so did mine until I was down to 1 cocker.
I started adopting short hair breed cuz groom was getting too hard on my aging, beaten up body.
But I still had my pretty chocolate Cocker, Sadie... Until one day I didn't. I swore, no more long hair dog breeds, have to save money on grooming.
Yeah, right.... I lasted one month and flipped out not having that special energy and personality that is unique to Cockers. There were none in the shelters or local rescues or breeders so ended up on AKC breeders page and fell in love with a little female chocolate in OK.
I packed up my Chihuahua and we traveled from Vegas to some hick town in OK, not far from where my family was from, another hick town in TX.
Zoey, my gorgeous baby was perfect. She looked almost like a statue or painting of a Cocker puppy. Her first Nick name was Baby Doll. Smart as a whip, wicked sense of humor, always happy and up beat with tail that never stops wagging.
Yep, no doubt about it, it is impossible for me to live in a house with out having a Cocker Spaniel there to fill it with there special brand of love.
Little champs, amazing how quick they can learn a trick
I love cockers!So cuddly and loving.
Cockers have no cons at all because I've had one and he's absolutely amazing and has no food aggression he's only 14 weeks and he's amazing
I 've only had golden cocker spaniels younger and both manifested cocker spaniel rage, the last one was treated for her mood swings with Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism ( life long treatment ) : it avoided her being euthanised and stopped her aggressive outbursts
My American cocker spaniel is only 8 months & he seem more than that. Nut I love him so much & he’s quite active & energetic every time I go play with him. I just hope he will live longer than I expected..
Our cocker spaniel just gave birth and always wants to be pet when its puppies are sleeping
This is the cutest thing I've read lately♥️♥️
Aww also your profile pic is funny\scary lol😂😂
Ikr
Also whenever we call her name she always comes to us and she lays down if she feels like it and she doesnt get mad at us or rage and our grandma says she'll bite you if she sees you touch her babies and funny thing when we put her outside and take her puppies she always looks at the window like were tryna steal her puppies
as a cocker spaniel owner: the only cons is that they have leave us one day
I have a golden cocker spaniel pup and I love her she is so smart and cute 💕
Just got our 1st 10 days ago, what a pup she is, gonna have her pat tested as therapy dog
There are now 2 types of cockers. Workers and show types. Workers are the extreme high energy type ( I am disabled and have walking problems, and show types are much lower energy and better for working families.
Rage was notorious-- especially with nervous ones-- a long time ago but good quality breeders have got rid of that along with a raft of genetic issues, the constant DNA checks of puppies being the reason for their high price.
Last being disabled and utilising their original breed traits they make fantastic assistance dogs. Especially in modern smaller homes with smaller gardens. They are fabulous as a breed. A great all rounder ( the show type, unless you really want an outdoor life! Check the kennel club breed standard for this and other onfo).
Hi Alex. Thanks for the reply. We talk about working and show Cockers on our blog. Our Guinness was a show Cocker Spaniel but sadly passed away last month, bless him.
I also have trouble walking for more than a block now. I've hired a couple of teenagers to come and walk them They don't care who does it...the more people coming to the house for them is much better in their eyes.
I’ve been wanting to get a cocker spaniel, I think they’re cute 🥰 , 🤗 cuddly and they’re sweethearts. I’ve wanted one ever since I watched lady and the tramp in my childhood. I would make sure they get lots of excerise, like I would do if I ever get a big dog and my bichon can tag along so Max doesn’t feel left out.
I grew up w/a Cocker. I ❤ him. We had an American Cocker. Since he was American, he was considered bracacephalic since American Cockers have Pugs in their blood line. It makes them adorable because their snout is shorter & they look like stuffed animals. 😻
But because of this, they can have respiratory problems as well as snoring.
Coffee (our Cocker) was buff w/a white star blaze on his forehead.
Sadly, Cocker Rage is a real thing. It is mostly seen in Cockers that have too much in-line breeding & in backyard breeders. Make certain that you get their papers!! If the Cockers are from a rescue, ask about their history. It’s not common, but it’s crucial to know this: they can hurt small children, cats & dogs/ puppies that are smaller than them. We didn’t have this issue: he became friends w/my half lop rabbit after he got over from being jealous. Cocker Rage is treated with anti-seizure meds.
Cockers are NOT for people who are busy & away from home all the time. Even being with a bonded mate & other pets they get along with, they still need their humans. If that’s the case, you’ll have 2 cockers and/or King Charles, an Ocicat & Bengal all waiting for you at the door, waiting & whining for you outside the bathroom. They are very needy & are velcro dogs (King Charles Cavalier, Bengal cats & Ocicats are also velcro pets). Along w/ being social, they can suffer from separation anxiety.
Another thing to keep in mind is that they can have small dog syndrome. This is a nonissue if they live or have play dates with other small dogs & toy breeds. However, if they are around medium sized (Pit Bull and some other terrier breeds) and esp. large breeds (Labs and German Shepards, etc), there can be an altercation unless the bigger dog is mellow, well trained & ignores the Cocker.
Play dates, dog parks & staying in boarding for vacations, they will put them in a small-dog category.
Like other small dogs, it takes a lot of patience for house training & controlling bladder.
They can have an excessive need of chewing.
Most Cockers who are given to shelters are because of chewing; incontinence; and people who don’t do their research & end up being surprised how needy Cockers are & say that they can’t give them the attention they need.
All of the Cons, including the ones I mentioned, have easy solutions & patience to work with your Cocker. Practice, practice, practice. Crate train when not at home if they cannot be trusted - a room in the house is another alternative.
If I end up adopting a dog, I would adopt either a Cocker, Cockapoo, King Charles Cavalier, Papillon, or Brittany.
They’re the best.😻🫶🏽🐕❣️💞💖
