Originally bred as a working gundog, the Cocker Spaniel has consistently been one of the UK’s most popular family pets for decades. Over the years the breed has also made its mark in many other countries of the world both in the field and a home environment. They are happy, energetic dogs that adapt well to most lifestyles. Cockers are extremely intelligent, they boast of having kind, patient, loyal natures and are never happier than when exploring a back garden, park, or countryside with their noses glued to the ground.
