    Both breeds are beautiful and are known for their loving and playful temperaments.
    But how do you know which one is right for you, and is there really a difference between the two anyway?
    This video will help teach you all about the differences between the English and American Cocker Spaniel, and find out which breed might make the best pet for you!
    Both the English and American Cocker Spaniel share a similar heritage.
    As you may have assumed, the English Cocker Spaniel came first, by way of England.
    Originally, the English Cocker Spaniel was grouped with a number of other spaniel hunting breeds and was separated only by type and hunting ability.
    He was first known as a Cocking Spaniel due to his smaller size and the way he hunted birds.
    The Cocking Spaniel became the English Cocker Spaniel after finally being classified as his own breed in the 19th century.
    In the 20th century, American enthusiasts of the English Cocker Spaniel opted to breed a companion dog of comparable temperament and beauty.
    This breed was smaller and had a more relaxed, family-oriented personality.
    The American Cocker Spaniel was born.
    Today, both breeds are favored by certain dog enthusiasts and clubs for their unique talents, temperaments, and looks.
    The English Cocker Spaniel and American Cocker Spaniel vary quite a bit in appearance, although it may not be that obvious at first.
    Both have thick wavy fur, long ears, and adoring expressive faces.
    However, the English Cocker Spaniel is a larger breed with a longer head.
    He is around 15 to 17 inches tall and weighs between 26 to 34 pounds.
    His coat can come in a variety of colors, such as Black, Orange, Liver, Blue, Lemon, Tan, White, Ash, Silver, Golden, Red and Sable.
    The American Cocker Spaniel, also known simply as the Cocker Spaniel, is around 13.5 to 15.5 inches and weighs about 20 to 30 pounds.

    I had a black English cocker. He lived for 18 years and was a THerapy trained dog who used to visit Retirement Homes and special schools. So easily trained. I miss him so much as he died 3 years ago.

    I have an American cocker spaniel named Charley, and she's the sweetest, most affectionate dog I've ever had. She never leaves my side and always needs to be touching me. She does have separation anxiety, and as such we crate trained her as a puppy and we crate her at night and when we are away, but sometimes we'll let her snuggle with us at night, especially when it's cold. She loves it, possibly even more than we do. She just turned five in June, and she's a bit chubby, but still thinks she's a puppy. She hates her feet and ears touched, which makes grooming and cleaning her ears difficult, but she has come to accept that bath time means foot scrubbing and ear cleaning. She just got over a bad ear infection, and I don't expect her to have any more problems with her ears being cleaned lol

      My only regret with getting a cocker spaniel is no one told me how expensive grooming was nor did they tell me how fast their coats grow.
      Got pretty expensive. Wife is starting to learn how to groom our cocker now.

    I don't know what happened to the American Cocker Spaniel over the years but a lot of them look like the have headaches. The features have been pushed in and eyes pushed out to the sides with this big crown. I'm not disparaging anyone's dog in particular but this is not what the breed looked like in the 70's and 80's.

    @MeCooper Před 3 lety +9

    Hmm, I assume the main difference is that the English Cocker Spaniels write words with Us, Eg; Doughnut, Colour, Neighbour. American Cocker Spaniels do not use U in the same words, Eg; Donut, Color, Neighbor.
    _(Seriously tho cheers, I've been trying to help my parents find their perfect retirement doggo son and this breed has just come up as an option.)_

    My Cocker Lady is an american one but she has a liver roan coat color witch is more common in the English lines so i'm thinking that her breeder might have infused english lines into her bloodlines. She is well loved and cared for :D

    The Cocker part comes from their ability to hunt Woodcock birds. More commonly known as Cocks.
    The breed is smaller than many hunting dogs because woodcocks hang out in shorter grass.

      They are easy to tell apart by just looking at their face profile. Google English Cocker Spaniel then American Cocker Spaniel and you should easily be able to see which your puppy is
