Today, English Cocker Spaniels are endearing canine companions that have become increasingly popular thanks to their charming and happy dispositions.
The English Cocker Spaniel is a medium-sized canine with long ears and a very agreeable temperament. The word “Cocker” refers to the olden days when they were used for hunting woodcock in England. However, they have also been used to track and chase many other types of birds over the years.
The English Cocker Spaniel is a cheerful and affectionate dog breed. They love to engage in a variety of activities with their human companions. This dog breed thrives on being around families who can give them all the love and attention they desire. They also get along well with kids and make good canine companions for people of all ages. However, they can become mischievous if left alone or bored.

These medium-sized dogs were initially bred to track and capture birds. As a result, this pup is small enough to get through thick bushes but large enough to catch game (or in family life terms, small enough to cuddle on your lap but large enough to not accidentally get stepped on!)
English Cocker Spaniels have robust yet compact bodies, built to run at fast speeds. They boast deep chests, sloping shoulders, and well-muscled hindquarters and stand 14 to 17 inches tall. These canines weigh between 26-32 lbs. Unlike other breeds, there is no significant difference in size between males and females.
Cocker Spaniels have cat-like shaped feet with thick padding to safely navigate through any terrain. They have relatively long and slender heads with square muzzles and long, low-set ears extending to the nose's tip when pulled forward.
These canines boast a medium-length silky coat, giving them an incredibly glam appearance. The hair lies flat against the body, but specific areas are well feathered, such as the ears, forelegs, and chest. This excess hair protects their body from scratches or injuries they could get while on the field.
Their coat colouring can be Solid, Bi-coloured, Tri-coloured, or Roan, with many combination possibilities. Their luscious coats typically need to be brushed every other day.
English Cocker Spaniels are well-known for their happy and loving nature. They adore being involved in all family activities and thrive on human interaction. They have an outstanding balance between playfulness and calm, which makes them ideal family pets, especially for households with children.
As they were originally hunting dogs, the English Cocker Spaniel has retained its hunting instinct and loves to play games involving retrieving and recalling. Moreover, they love being outdoors and are in their element when they can run freely in a large open space.
English Cocker Spaniels have a strong desire to please their families, which makes training them a joy. They are also intelligent, so they are relatively easy to teach tricks, even for those without previous dog training experience.
These dogs excel in dog sports like agility, tracking, and flyball. However, obedience training is also vital for this breed to ensure they won't run off to follow an intriguing scent. Until they are fully trained, you should keep them leased in public to prevent them from chasing small animals or birds.
Because they desire to be around humans, this dog suffers separation anxiety when left alone. They may resort to excessive barking or chewing in these situations. In addition, because of their high energy, they need frequent physical and mental stimulation. Along with providing a large selection of toys, make interactive play a part of your daily routine.
English Cocker Spaniels do great with large families, as the way they see it, the more people, the more attention. However, regardless of the household size, someone must always be home, as these pups can quickly get separation anxiety.
As gentle, calm, and fun-loving canines, they make wonderful friends with children. They typically get on great with other dogs and cats if introduced to them from an early age. However, because of their hunting instincts, they are not suitable for homes with pet birds or other small animals like rabbits or hamsters.
Lastly, because they have a lot of energy to burn, English Cocker Spaniels ideally need free access to an enclosed/fenced-off garden. More than a daily walk is necessary to satisfy this dog's mental and physical exercise needs.

Jack

One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.

Athena

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece.

We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena.
