English Cocker Spaniels 2005 Wall Calendar

Spaniels are thought to take their name from Hispania, the old word for Spain, which is considered the country of origin for these breeds. Various sizes and shapes of spaniels have been known in Britain and throughout Europe since the 14th century. In 1677, a writer described spaniels as dogs "with active feet, wanton tail and busy nostrils." By 1800, spaniels had been divided into land spaniels and water spaniels. Later, each type was named for the work it did. So it was that the small, active, keen-nosed dogs that worked in dense undergrowth to flush the woodcock became known as 'cockers.' Developed in Britain, this was the original Cocker Spaniel. The breed was imported to North America in the 1880s and when American breeders developed a different type of cocker and the breed was split in the 1940s, the original breed was renamed the English Cocker Spaniel.

The English Cocker is noted for its intelligence and merry disposition. An affectionate dog, the English Cocker's love and faithfulness are characteristic of the breed.

Activity level: A responsive and willing worker, the breed enjoys family life and is suited to most accommodations. He needs regular exercise to keep trim since he tends to gain weight easily.

Height/Weight: This medium-sized sporting breed measures 15-17 in (38-43 cm) at the shoulder and weighs 26-34 lb (12-14 kg).

Coat: The medium-long silky coat is flat or slightly wavy. Coat on the head is short and fine. The English Cocker carries feathering but it shouldn't be profuse.

Colour: The breed comes in a variety of colours including black, red, liver, golden, black-and-tan and tri-colour, or roan in blue, liver, red, orange or lemon.

Grooming: Frequent brushing to remove dead hair will keep the coat shining. Some tidy-up trimming on the head, throat and feet is required.
