About Cockers by Niki Buchen.
Cockers with this type of temperament are not typical of the breed. Before adopting an American Cocker, be sure to give it a puppy temperament test and if possible ask to meet the parents. Cocker Spaniels should be taken to a dog grooming professional two to four times a year to have excessive hair plucked by hand. The Cocker Spaniel is susceptible to ear infections, and sometimes eye infections. Cocker Spaniels are an all around great dog with a happy and loyal demeanor. Socialization at an early is a positive thing as they tend to be a little shy if they are not socialized. Cockers should be gently brushed on a regular basis, and their long hair should be trimmed at least monthly, either at home or by a professional dog groomer. Cocker spaniels have beautiful ears, but they will need grooming and maintenance as their confirmation alone can make them prone to ticks and infections. Cockers should not be left alone for extended periods of time. This can lead to frustration and subsequent behavioral problems and destructiveness. Cockers are sensitive and playful dogs, and they love people, often more than other dogs. He forms a tight, lifelong bond with his owner. Cocker Spaniels descended from one of the oldest of all dog breeds – the Spaniel. The Spaniel breeds originated in Spain and came in many shapes and sizes. Socialization at an early is a positive thing as they tend to be a little shy if they are not socialized.
