English Cocker Spaniel

The English Cocker Spaniel is the original Cocker Spaniel — a cheerful, merry gundog that gave rise to the American Cocker Spaniel through selective breeding. Their silky, medium-length coat features heavy feathering on the ears, chest, belly, and legs, and the long, low-set ears create a warm, poorly ventilated ear canal that makes them highly susceptible to chronic ear infections. The coat requires consistent professional grooming to manage the feathering and maintain ear health.
