Dog breed of the week: Cocker Spaniel

American Cocker Spaniel is a relatively popular dog, is also commonly seen as a part of mixed race, hybrid dogs. This spaniel has a hard-working and sometimes reserved disposition. It is said, can breed to be an affectionate companion and lively Playmate. Cocker Spaniel may be best known for his lovely locks. The curly ears are pretty cute, but if you do not take proper care of the ears, you will not look at the insides of them! Cocker's is very prone to serious ear disease, so that the first priority in the care of this breed are routinely verify and clean ears.

There are more than potentially Cocker yucky ears, however. This is an intelligent breed, is extremely motivated. When properly trained, and social, can this race make a loyal and loving family dog. I know that there are a ton of Cocker Spaniel fans out there, so to speak: talk about your Cocker Spaniel!
