Is an English Cocker Spaniel the Right Dog Breed for You?
The Cocker Spaniel was originally bred as a gundog and is still using for hunting. They can be affectionate and good family dogs, but there are variable temperaments in some lineages making them prone to aggression and fear biting. Early socialization will help the Cocker Spaniel to be better suited to families with children. They do well in urban and rural settings. Grooming needs are moderate to high and they are average shedders.
