I think we are
drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we
weren't certain we knew better.

The various Spaniels originated in
Spain and have been known in Britain and Europe since the 14th century.
In the 1800's
Spaniels were
divided into two groups; Springer Spaniels whose function was to
"spring game", and Cocker Spaniels named for their ability to flush and
retrieve birds (woodcocks) from dense undergrowth.

The English
Cocker Spaniel is the original Cocker Spaniel and was developed in Wales and southwest
England as a gundog.
The English Cocker Spaniel is compact
but bigger than the American Cocker Spaniel. He stands up to 17 inches
high at the shoulder and has a long, silky coat. It can be black, red,
liver, golden, black and tan, and tri-colour or roan. The English Cocker's
coat sheds and requires regular brushing and trimming.
The English Cocker is
a sporting breed and a popular pet. He is energetic, playful,
affectionate, and eager to please in nature. He enjoys family life, and
his size allows him to fit in most home environments. Of a happy
disposition, this dog doesn't just wag his tail - he wags his body! Consistent
and understanding training will yield the best results as he is a naturally willing
and intelligent dog.
As an active and energetic sporting
dog, the English Cocker Spaniel needs regular exercise to combat a
tendency to gain weight. He should have a home with a fenced yard and an owner who is patient and
will not spoil him.
