Facts about the American Cocker Spaniel
Very good! You came this far to find out more about American
Cocker Spaniel and the first thing I need to tell you is: don't confuse it with
the English namesake. The American Cocker is shorter than the English, his
snout is shorter and he has a smaller head than his cousin too. The photo below
helps show the differences:
Unlike what many people think, the Lady, from the movie
"The Lady and the Tramp", is not an English Cocker Spaniel (more
common in our country), but an American Cocker Spaniel. Want more trivia? So
look at the ones we've separated for you.

Created in the 19th century in the United States, this dog
hunted quail and other small birds. Today, however, it is popular as a
companion dog.
By the
Its coat is long and smooth and can be found in many colors,
ranging from solids (such as black and gold) to tricolors, passing through
bicolors and roan (white with some other color in the blended style). Cockers
tend to shed a lot of hair, which needs to be brushed, as they tend to tie
knots easily.
Temperament
Dogs of this breed generally have a docile and happy
temperament, however, socialization should start very early, as they tend to
growl and bite when they feel pain or fear. They are very close to the family
and rarely say no to an invitation to play.
Special cares
Need special attention to cleaning the eyes and ears. Teeth
also deserve special attention, with brushing between two or three times a week
to remove tartar and bacteria buildup.
Intelligence
In the ranking of the book "The Intelligence of
Dogs" ("The Intelligence of Dogs"), the furry occupies the
honorable 20th position.
