The English Cocker Spaniel is an active, merry sporting dog, standing well
up at the withers and compactly built. He is alive with energy; his gait is
powerful and frictionless, capable both of covering ground effortlessly and
penetrating dense cover to flush and retrieve game. His enthusiasm in the
field and the incessant action of his tail while at work indicate how much
he enjoys the hunting for which he was bred. His head is especially
characteristic. He is, above all, a dog of balance, both standing and
moving, without exaggeration in any part, the whole worth more than the
sum of its parts.
Characteristics
Merry nature with ever-wagging tail shows a typical bustling movement,
particularly when following scent, fearless of heavy cover.
Temperament
Gentle and affectionate, yet full of life and exuberance.
