The American Cocker Spaniel is a highly popular breed known for its charming looks and friendly character. These dogs are very people-oriented, affectionate, and love spending time with their families. They are intelligent and easy to train, making them ideal companions for active families. Cocker Spaniels need daily exercise as they were originally bred as hunting dogs. An active lifestyle is important for these energetic dogs to channel their energy and keep them happy. They enjoy walks and exploring their surroundings, which means they require ample time outside to be content. Grooming a Cocker Spaniel requires some effort, but their silky coat is worth it. Weekly ear checks and regular brushing are essential to maintain their health and appearance. Those who invest time in their care and exercise will be rewarded with a loving and loyal companion.
