English Cocker Spaniel

The English Cocker Spaniel was developed in the 19th century in England to flush and retrieve woodcocks from densely wooded areas. English Cocker Spaniels are slightly taller, heavier and more solid than American Cocker Spaniels. They are friendly, affectionate, and loyal dogs. They adapt well to all environments, provided they have enough daily exercise. English Cocker Spaniels make good watchdogs, but will not protect their property.
