I grew up with them. I had a very close connection with one of them in particular, and when she died it just seems like a part of me died with her. I miss that damn dog. I hope to see her again in the afterlife.
They are very loving, very playful, lots of energy, naughty, FOOD OBSESSED and look at you as if you are the only humans on planet earth. Beautiful dogs. Our Albie is just over a year old
Our 1 year old cocker is absolutely awesome. He actually jumps up on ypur knee and cuddles into uou. He is so affectionate and very well behaved. I would have 20 of them if I had a bigger house . I love him
I live in Southern California, and have had American Cocker Spaniels all of my adult life. My first one was a rescue from a shelter. He had been abused and was out on his own for quite a while. Max was my sweetheart who didn't like my ex...should have listened to that dog! Then when my Dad suddenly passed, I took his 4 month old Cocker puppy named Ricky...he and Max became good buddies who both loved my pool. Both of them were black. As nature does, Max went to Heaven when he was 15 and Ricky was 8. Ricky became a little bored and I knew he needed a buddy. Enter Lucy, my beautiful red girl. That's right, Ricky and Lucy. That damned nature struck again when Ricky was 13. Lucy enjoyed being all mine, especially since I was working from home a lot. We spent the best year on the first year of my retirement. Unfortunately, Lucy passed at 11 from liver/gallbladder failure last Christmas. I'm now on a waiting list for an American Cocker Spaniel from a breeder nearby. I cannot wait. Everything you said in your videos is true. They love kids, but you can't let kids rough house with them.. They are sensitive so you cannot yell at them to correct...and the food...yep they can hear paper crackling a mile away. Lucy had such a good nose I would worry I she were very interested in something in the yard. Lucy loved to be groomed, and I had her professionally groomed every month. She loved her groomer who was mobile...all I had to do is say, "Heather's coming", and she'd run to the door, when she couldn't smell her, she jumped on the couch to look out the window. When Heather's trailer pulled up to the front of the house, OMG, let the excitement begin. They are such awesome dogs.
So sad someone would treat kids, women or Animals wrong. Sorry to hear that. I just rescued a Cocker about 5 months ago, who had nightmares (no more) and was wondering if you knew of a place who adopts them out? He is doing great now, Vet says about 8-9 years old, very nice, likes to play and is good with cats and other dogs and even chickens : ). Thx jeff
we breed them and you have not mentioned one of the best aspects of this breed see most dogs when you come home wil be enthousiastic and wil show that by jumping and licking and seeking contact, so too do cockers, but where as most breeds wil keep jumping and licking as you give them attention cockers wil generally stop doing so and instead hug, they wil get close and put their head on your shoulder or neck and wil just try to stay as close as they can for as long as they can, giving a lick here and there but really enjoying this long warm contact over jumping around heavily
they're also very independent as much as they are loyal and affectionate. If you need to leave for several hours to go to work and school, or even overnight, they'll be ok
Ours lived 15 years until cancer unfortunately took her from us. She was the same, always wagging her nubby tail and loved everyone she saw! I miss her so much, they are truly amazing dogs.
my cocker spaniel we have had for a couple months and i have taught her sit and paw, she listens to me and loves playing with me and going for walks, my 4 year old brother had an operation last week and we didn't know what the dog would do but we put my brother and the dog in the same room and she was so gentle i would recommend getting one
Off all the dogs Iv had the cocker is everything you say, all my dogs though life have been puppies but my circumstances I ended up with a 4year old cooker and to be honest she was good in the house from day one, but she was a nightmare out and about I gave myself 12 weeks to bring her round but it took 14 but what a reward she turned out to be for 5 years I say 5 years as on the 13 March I had two take her to the vets for the last time as she got cancer which came on so quickly in the vets with me crying she sat there wagging her tail life is so hard at times saying goodbye to the best dog Iv ever had and I love all my dogs I like to think of myself as a fit 72 years old who walks 8 ore more miles a day with my dogs but the pain in losing them gets harder
I have both mental and physical health issues. I am soon hopefully going to move into a flat and want a spaniel as an assistance dog. It would help get me out of the house more, breaking the cycle of my high Anxiety. Baths, Snuggles, trips to Starbucks, Supermarkets, Running in the local Park, or find a River or Brook for he or she to swim in (not a Swamp) having a cocker in the house would have plenty of baths, grooming, ear cleaning, to keep there brains engaged - lick mats, puzzle toys, alongside having a medium sized crate so they have there own space. I would do things such as long line training on stay and recall in my local park, work in the house with the Spanner on what is expected of an Assistance Dog and also in public places have a harness on saying Service Dog in Training, restaurants, cafes, pubs, cinema, shopping centre etc which are my worse nightmare would be an ideal place to have an assistance dog alongside medical appointments. I would find a local dog sitter who could look after he or she if I had to go into hospital. If I went abroad I would find a suitable kennels out in the countryside. If it’s hot weather it’s a case of stay in or get a cooling mat, ice cream and wear protective boots for there feet.
People should beware that they don't buy a hunting line( field trail, FT) there energy makes them a handful. But it's a really good family dog. I really love my little ginger English cocker.
I remember as a kid I thought I always wanted a cocker spaniel. It never happened but I now have a cocker spaniel/Dachshund mix (a "rescue") and she is the most loving, sweet, smart little dog imaginable. I attribute her stubbornness to the dachshund :)
That’s why I’m here! I’m watching this to research what kind of spaniel I want to get. I’m only 13 however I’ve been getting into flushing with my dad and current dog. Though our current dog almost only listens to my dad so we’re thinking of getting me one. If anyone has any recommendations let me know. (Must be a kind of spaniel so I can be in the same club as my dad and current dog)
I wish this video was available when I chose to get my american cocker spaniel earlier this year. It took me many hours of research to find out even half of what you mentioned in this short video. Make sure you are committed to the grooming before you decide to get one because it is no joke. Keep in mind that the energy requirements are more for adults, all puppies seem to be full of boundless energy. My cocker is still a puppy so his energy requirements are through the roof but I am starting to see the more moderate exercise requirements mentioned in the video now that he is approaching his first birthday. I did not realize just how human dependent the breed is when we first got ours so we have decided we need to get another canine buddy for him since I am away all day for work. We are getting an English Mastiff puppy early in the new year which is great timing since our cocker still has a good amount of energy. So, they can play and expend energy together while they are both young but will both have low/moderate energy later in life. This way they will be on the same page energy wise. Plus our family is a lower energy family so both breeds are a good fit for us too. You have to take all of this into consideration before your choose your dog. Otherwise you end up with a dog that just doesn't fit which can be disastrous. I have seen it first hand.
The responsibility of any puppy/dog is no Joke. Dogs need time, Our time and lots of it.. So often light bulbs click on after the fact. Is it ego or are we really a committed dog person/family...
Another worthy point is you have to take care of their ears. Being floppy eared, and no air getting inside, they are prone to ear problems if their ears aren’t taken care of properly. A very clingy breed, mine follows me EVERYWHERE - especially to the kitchen 😄. Mine found out quickly showering with mum was not as much fun as it looked! Always want to play. Adores being groomed. Mine does 0-60 from wherever he is if the hairdryer is turned on. It’s his favourite thing in the world. If you want a breed that constantly wants love and attention go for it.
Your strong presentation is let down by some very average images and footage which don’t really reflect the point you are making or the energy and vitality of the breed. Also, you perhaps should mention the important differences in looks and temperament between the American and English spaniels. Cheers.
Thankyou for the lovely positive post on the Cockers. My beautiful Paddy lived through to 17.5 years. Is that quite common? Do you think girls tend to be calmer, more sensitive than boys.? About to get my second one!! So exciting 🐕
I have heard of several cockers living long lives. Ours lived until 15 years old and if she had not developed cancer I believe she would have lived quite a bit longer. She went deaf at about 13 years old but other than that she had no other health issues and was still running and playing like a puppy up until a couple months before she died.
My Blacky lived on 17.5 too. Most of his life we went for long walks, and he was lucky because we had several beautiful, semi-wild oases nearby, he could stalk pheasants in the cornfield, run with other familiar dogs in the meadows, run in the streams, swim in the lakes and sniff the forests to his heart's content. I went through puberty, adolescence, youth and a good part of my adult years with him. I was very careful about his diet. He was regularly groomed by an excellent hairdresser whom he adored. Unfortunately, he had to visit the vet often because of constant ear infections and because of the grass spikes that had to be removed from his body. However, he used to bite if something was not to his liking and he did not regret it, he would bite again if we tried to correct him. All in all, my heart broke when I held him to my chest for the last time. I wouldn't take a cocker anymore because of his fur, but otherwise it is an excellent sports and hunting dog.
I have a Golden show cocker who is beautiful inside and out , loyal, obedient, loving , his only fault is greed but I can forgive him that one misdemeanour.
I had a Cocker Spaniel "Rusty" many years ago but he died at only 18 months old of multiple organ failure I later got a Springer Spaniel "Flint" and he lived to be 13 years old and could have been with us longer but died of liver failure I currently have a Cockapoo "Cinnamon" she is 7 and is in my account pic with me
I got my first cocker spaniel when I was 3 years old. I've had other breeds but I am in love with the cockers. I have 2 females and 1 male at this time, they are, loveable, playful and very loyal. I've had them throughout my life, I can't imagine not having one. The barking is out of this world and I groom them every two months, they keep me busy💞🎈
I’m a stay at home mom and am desperate for a doggie companion! My first choice would be a golden retriever but my husband seems to have an allergic reaction anytime he’s near one. Recently I’ve started researching cocker spaniels. This could be the perfect fit for our family as long as my husband’s allergies don’t act up. We used to have a lovely, sweet German shepherd and he was fine with that breed. Does anyone else with allergies have different reactions to different dog breeds? It’s curious.
Very suprised your photos and videos wich show American Cocker Spaniels - which are not common in the UK. Also from what i can tell there are clear personality differences between working cockers and show cockers (working cockers can be a handful for inexperienced owners if not given clear boundaries and a job to do) Cavaliers & Cavalier KC may be a better fit for family pets ? What are your thoughts
I had 3 english cocker spaniels now,its a perfect dog but so far i cant seem to stop them pulling on the leash,they pull so hard that the toungue turned blue one time
I must say as a cocker spaniel owner, these dogs are more prone to aggression if you don’t make them socialize or be dominant in the house. Our dog has a resource guarding aggression and due to covid, we can’t bring trainers in the house and we’re left with her aggressive behavior, we try our best to minimize the behavior but it happens so randomly.
Thanks for watching!

Hi I had a cooker her name was luna. She was the sweetest dog. I ever had Iam heart broken she had a tumor that. Open up. Had to put her to sleep. My life is so empty with out her
Hi there, i do have a golden retriever puppy , she is 10 weeks old. i am thinking to get a female coocker spaniel puppy as well . what do you think ? do they live together ? what are the pros and cons ? thanks in advance
Please tell me the best food to give an American Cocker in the USA. We have a rescue Cocker who is incredibly protective of us. He will not let anyone near us unless we give him the ok. We didn't train him that we, he just is that way😁. We rescued a Black Cocker. He weighs over 40 pounds🤯 I walk him 4 times a day in the warm months, but winter has been tougher. He WILL NOT go out in the rain. Period!!! He won't even get off of the porch after it rained if it's wet outside🤯 Please tell me what to feed him 🙏
my partner and i really want to get a cocker spaniel, but we’re worried about their tendency to bite strangers as well as cocker’s “rage syndrome”… any suggestions here to avoid the above?
I know someone with a cocker like this, poor doggo was teased by naughty children as a puppy so that probably caused it. But they explained this to all their guests and worked hard to socialise their doggo and he's so lovely. So don't let it put you off, if you happen to get one like this just be persistent with socialising the doggo.
Lol mine was a maniac until she went into heat around 10 months. Then she calm down a notch and was still pretty hyper until 10 years old. She was obsessed with playing ball 24/7.
It cant be overstated. They will use their eyes and superb gentle nature to take you to the cleaners. Those eyes make me scared of an instruction being i terpreted as a correction. Do t know how to train a dog with these eyes. My dog has eyelashes and gets all the attention he wants. There is no winning this.
Mate sorry but you don’t know very much about the cocker spaniel. In you clips of cockers there is the show type an American cocker and a English working cocker. You have not once said that most working cockers are very driven due to them been bred for hunting. And have very different temperament and most are not suitable for some pet homes as people can not handle them I could go on all day that is the biggest pile of waffle about something that someone pretending to know what they are talking about.
Don't breed or buy from breeders while millions of healthy adoptable dogs and puppies are euthanized in animal control facilities every year. Opt to adopt from your local humane society or rescue. Every breed has a breed rescue in every state and the rescues are full.
I grew up with them. I had a very close connection with one of them in particular, and when she died it just seems like a part of me died with her. I miss that damn dog. I hope to see her again in the afterlife.
They are very loving, very playful, lots of energy, naughty, FOOD OBSESSED and look at you as if you are the only humans on planet earth.

A Cocker Spaniel is Simply the Best doesn't get any better than them
Even if you have chickens??
@@ForeverInFaith Correction: 'had' chickens :)
they're also very independent as much as they are loyal and affectionate. If you need to leave for several hours to go to work and school, or even overnight, they'll be ok
Our cocker lived 16 years and only stopped wagging his tail (docked) when he slept and even then sometimes !
I love those docked tails, he had the wiggles! 💕
Happiest dogs ever!

I have a 9 week old and within a week she sits, lies down goes to cage and am in the middle of heeling and leave it… thanks to all your videos
Sounds about right. They'll notify you if something is going on, but won't do a damn thing about it. 🤣🤣🤣
its so accurate lol
i love mine but she ll probably hide somewhere
They're SUPER loyal and cute. 😃🥰😍
I have my third cocker spaniel. And they have all been amazing dogs. They are sweethearts. My babies ! They love to be touching you
I just got my second Cocker puppy this weekend!!
My lab just died nearly 15. Now I find out I will never get another dog. Nearly 70 next month and can’t afford another dog. Heartbroken.
Spot on analysis.
Great video, thank you. Blimey do you have a lot of energy!
Totaly AGREE..have had cocker spaniels for 27 years 😍😍🐾🐾🐾
Whaaaaat????
Cocker spaniels, German Shepard’s and Catahoula curr are my favorite breeds.
We bring our cocker spaniel home on the 18th august
We have had them in the past, so I’m really excited
they are VELCRO DOGS if they aren't glued to your side they're tryingbto get to you or staring at you through whatever barrier stops them. Lovely dogs
People should beware that they don't buy a hunting line( field trail, FT) there energy makes them a handful.
But it's a really good family dog. I really love my little ginger English cocker.

My baby just passed away she was 14 years old she was the sweetest baby I ever had she was smart and faithful to me

My mom is planning to foster a Cocker Spaniel to see if I get along with it and vice versa.
They are beautiful.
Another worthy point is you have to take care of their ears. Being floppy eared, and no air getting inside, they are prone to ear problems if their ears aren’t taken care of properly.
A very clingy breed, mine follows me EVERYWHERE - especially to the kitchen 😄. Mine found out quickly showering with mum was not as much fun as it looked!
Always want to play. Adores being groomed. Mine does 0-60 from wherever he is if the hairdryer is turned on. It’s his favourite thing in the world.

Please tell me the best food to give an American Cocker in the USA. We have a rescue Cocker who is incredibly protective of us. He will not let anyone near us unless we give him the ok. We didn't train him that we, he just is that way😁.
We rescued a Black Cocker. He weighs over 40 pounds🤯
I walk him 4 times a day in the warm months, but winter has been tougher.
He WILL NOT go out in the rain. Period!!!
He won't even get off of the porch after it rained if it's wet outside🤯
Please tell me what to feed him 🙏
Oh okay not too bad we have an African grey an alpha blue bulldog in the house she gets on nicely with both of them
my partner and i really want to get a cocker spaniel, but we’re worried about their tendency to bite strangers as well as cocker’s “rage syndrome”… any suggestions here to avoid the above?
Almost every cocker I've ever seen is more likely to wag a stranger to death than bite. I dont' know where this myth comes from.
@@KB4QAA thank you, this makes me feel a bit better!
I know someone with a cocker like this, poor doggo was teased by naughty children as a puppy so that probably caused it. But they explained this to all their guests and worked hard to socialise their doggo and he's so lovely. So don't let it put you off, if you happen to get one like this just be persistent with socialising the doggo.
@@kikeninikisses7061 thank you for this! that makes total sense to me.
@@KB4QAA rage syndrom . Golden spaniels i have
Team Cocker 💪
Dude what's happened to your hand?!?
Low to medium energy??? Really???
Mine mustv fallen into a bath of Red
Bull then...
Lol mine was a maniac until she went into heat around 10 months. Then she calm down a notch and was still pretty hyper until 10 years old. She was obsessed with playing ball 24/7.
My spaniel is very dumb you chuke a stick and it lands next to him and he doesn’t see it 😂
Really? I swear mine was a genius! She understood everything we said to her and was housebroken almost overnight.
Fo they smell a lot
Whoa, what happened to your hand? Looks painful
Most cockers are a 1 dog family.
It cant be overstated. They will use their eyes and superb gentle nature to take you to the cleaners.
Those eyes make me scared of an instruction being i terpreted as a correction. Do t know how to train a dog with these eyes. My dog has eyelashes and gets all the attention he wants. There is no winning this.
Somebody get this guy a pot of coffee and some " speed ", he doesn't talk fast enough/isn't excited enough.
Please note sarcasm.
He’s nealry as enthusiastic as a 18 month old springer.
@@philipw3419 😂
In my experience, very loving dogs, but NOT terribly bright.
Really? Mine was a genius! We did spend a lot of time talking with her and just being with her.
1:18 that is not a cocker spaniel
Mate sorry but you don’t know very much about the cocker spaniel. In you clips of cockers there is the show type an American cocker and a English working cocker. You have not once said that most working cockers are very driven due to them been bred for hunting. And have very different temperament and most are not suitable for some pet homes as people can not handle them I could go on all day that is the biggest pile of waffle about something that someone pretending to know what they are talking about.
Don't breed or buy from breeders while millions of healthy adoptable dogs and puppies are euthanized in animal control facilities every year. Opt to adopt from your local humane society or rescue. Every breed has a breed rescue in every state and the rescues are full.
