Cockers are the best.

After 40 years of dog ownership, we’ve found Cocker Spaniels to simply be the best forever friend.

What to expect when owning a Cocker Spaniel.

Friendly and Affectionate: Cocker Spaniels are known for their friendly and affectionate nature. They often form strong bonds with their owners and enjoy being around people. Their soulful eyes say it all: I love you.

Good with Families: Cocker Spaniels are typically very good with children and can make excellent family pets. They are usually gentle, patient, playful and cuddly, making them suitable companions for families with kids.

Intelligence and Trainability: These dogs are some of the most intelligent dogs and can be trained relatively easily with consistent, positive reinforcement methods. They are eager to please their owners, which can make training sessions enjoyable and rewarding.

Versatility: Originally bred to hunt, Cockers are extremely versatile dogs that excel in various activities, including obedience, agility, and hunting. They have a natural instinct for flushing out game, which makes them popular among hunters. Pro tip: make sure you always walk your Cocker on a leash otherwise they’ll be off chasing birds for hours!

Size and Adaptability: Cocker Spaniels are medium-sized dogs, making them suitable for most all living environments, including apartments and houses with small yards. They are adaptable and can thrive in different settings as long as they receive proper care and attention. Cockers love to travel, as well.

Beautiful Appearance: Many people are drawn to their attractive appearance, with their long, silky ears, expressive eyes, and soft coats. They come in a variety of coat colors, adding to their visual appeal. Colors include Black, White, Tri-Colored, Tan, Black and White, Tan and White, Red and White, just to name a few.

Loyal Companionship: Cockers are known for their loyalty and devotion to their owners. They often form deep bonds with their families and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's going for walks, playing games, or simply lounging together at home.

Moderate Exercise Needs: While almost all dogs enjoy being active and require regular exercise to stay healthy, Cockers don't have extremely high energy levels like some other breeds. This makes them suitable for owners who may not have the time or ability to engage in intense physical activities with their dogs. A long walk once or twice a day will be just enough to keep your Cocker happy and healthy.

As you can see, our love for Cocker Spaniels has grown beyond measure. They possess many qualities that make them beloved companions for not only us, but countless families around the world. Cockers simply are the BEST!
