The Cocker Spaniel’s original function was to hunt for Woodcock which lived in the hedgerows.

Cocker Spaniels have a very happy merry easy-going temperament, always wagging their tails and are eager to please. They make extremely popular family pets.

They need at least one hour of exercise a day, they are fairly small in size and need to be brushed daily, they can live in a small home and need a small to medium-sized garden and tend to live over 10 years.
