About the Breed
Originally bred from English Cocker Spaniels
imported to the United States, this American form has been
recognised as a separate breed since the 1940s. The American
Cocker Spaniel was developed as a gundog, to take smaller
game than its English counterpart, such as quail. Although
shorter in stature, this should not be viewed principally
as a pet dog. You will need to give these spaniels plenty
of exercise.
The coat of the American Cocker is another distinguishing
feature, being more profuse compared with the English form
of the Cocker Spaniel. As a result, it needs extra care, and
will benefit from a regular trim every two months or so. Regular
inspection of the ears is also to be recommended, to minimize
the risk of infections developing here. The upper part of
the ear canal can be wiped over with damp cotton wool, but
never be tempted to probe down into the canal itself, if your
dog appears to be scratching at its ear repeatedly, your veterinarian
will be able to inspect the canal and prescribe appropriate
medication.
In terms of temperament, the American Cocker Spaniel usually
proves easy to train and makes a good family pet. These spaniels
are also available in a wide range of colours, ranging from
solid colours, such as black, chocolate or red, to tri-coloured
and mixed parti-coloured forms. In the case of the solid colours,
it is generally permitted to have a few white markings on
the throat and chest, although, preferably, these should not
be present. Certainly, small white areas elsewhere on the
body will be penalized in the show ring.
The American Cocker Spaniel is a variation of the English
Cocker Spaniel from whom it descends. It is slightly smaller
than the original type, has a rounder skull and a more profuse
coat which is much barbered for the show ring. The English
Cocker Spaniel was recognised by the American Kennel Club
as a separate variety in 1936. A few specimens of these dogs
have recently been seen in England.
