As a cocker spaniel owner, the only good reason I can think of not to have one is they are prone to ear infections. Other than that, my dog is the absolute sweetest dog ever. We love him to death.
I had a cocker spaniel, she was 18 when she left me, such an amazing dog.
@@An_Enraged_Pig that makes me happy to hear. Maybe my nine year old boy will be with us even longer than we thought.
@@theWn123 she was a very strong dog, like bullet proof to illnesses lol!
how do you manage to prevent ear infections?
@@DeejaySiesta vets tend to give an ointment which either cures or lessens the infection
I just lost my cocker spaniel yesterday. My heart is absolutely broken. Life feels so empty without him and the pain is unbearable. I'm a grown man and cried when I saw his lambchops toy today.
I've had cockers my entire life. One had bad ear infections. One needed a invisible fence because he would see a rabbit or squirrel and take off. He was also extremely nervous around other dogs and had seizures. He would snap at people if stressed too much. I also shaved him to avoid the shedding. I think the "cocker cut" is hideous.
Out of the six cockers I've had, only one barked at people at the door. We've had many breeds in our family, and cockers too me have always been the most lovable. Every single one loved laying on me. There's a reason why they're called "wiggle butts".
I'll always miss you Chieftain Harold... You were my little man. You were my loyal best friend. I hope someday you will understand why I had to put you to sleep and how devestated I was. I'd give anything to pet you one last time. I'm looking at your empty bed right now and it hurts so bad.
Don't worry. He had a great life with you.
I am truly sorry for your loss! 😔🥺😢
I’m pretty sure that your beloved fur friend’s spirit is right by your side comforting you letting you know that he’s all well and happy at the other side of The Rainbow Bridge pet heaven...🌈🌁🌅🐶🐾💕

I’m a dog trainer and my working cocker is a dream! But I can imagine how he’d be if I wasn’t his owner! Recall is perfect, heels, settles, quiet and just so friendly! It really bothers me when people say they want one after meeting him thinking they will always be good! I worked so hard with him
Oh yes, our lady is working on a farm. If she wasn't engaged and involved with things and wasn't well trained she'd be a terror
do you recommend finding a trusted trainer for them early on to know exactly what to work on/make sure its done right? i wouldnt want to mess it up 😅 is there anything in particular that you think should be focused on in training?
My golden cocker spaniel had a very beautiful nature. He passed away on 2020/07/01 at the age of 17 and a half years old. He loved water and walking in muddy patches on our walks... loved to swim in the sea. I'd recommend these dogs to anyone. He always came when you called him and he loved playing. He did go deaf (not completely) and blind from about 14 years onwards....but as his hearing and sight deteriorated, he was accustomed to his surroundings and adapted nicely. Due to lock down I got to spend that extra time with him.
Wow i am 11 now and it would be the best gift for my parent's if i make it to 17!
I HAVE A COCKER SPANIEL AND SHE IS 6 MONTHS OLD NOW , WE WATCHED THIS TOGETHER AND SHE FEELS VERY BAD NOW :( :( :( TIME TO GIVE HER A TREAT I LOVE HER!
ME TOO I HAVE A ADORABLE LITTLE COCKER SPANIEL AND I LOVE HIM

Ur an angel 😂
Thanks
You saved 6 minutes of our lives
Thanks you are a legend
Not all hero’s wear capes
Our working cocker is 3 years old. She thrives on routine. She knows first thing every day I have breakfast. She is calm and leaves me alone. After that is walkies and boy does she know that too! After walkies and playtime, she rests till lunchtime and so on throughout the day. If I am late with any aspect of daily routine, she comes and gives me a gentle woof to remind me. So charming and intelligent.
I had to have my Cocker Spaniel put to sleep in August 2020 she had cancer & it spread to her lungs, Miss her so much, so loyal & faithful. 🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾💔😢
Aww! I hope you're doing well
So sorry! I'm in the same boat! It's so shit. Love abs prayers to you ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Miss mine
lost mine in August 2020 too.. I cried for a month.. I still do. She was the absolute best person and friend I have ever known. :( I know how you feel.
My cocker spaniel lived to be 17 y/o he passed in his sleep a few days ago 😭😭
The points about the energy levels and the barking are spot on about our rainbow girl. She was a puppy at heart, up until the end, and alerted us to everything.
i had to go show this to the rest of my family. this is not at all our experience with our cocker. i had her for three years before i ever even heard her bark. she's still the quietest dog i've ever known. i laughed out loud at the "high energy" part. even as a young dog she spent most of her day napping. and she has never had any trouble walking off lead. in my experience cocker spaniels are the most chill dog out there.
I have had dogs all of my life until about a year ago when my last beloved terrier passed away aged 21. I didn’t look for a new dog because of the lock down and the horrific puppy boom situation. Besides, I have never bought a dog before, they tend to find me. I received a call today to ask if I would be interested in rehoming a 2 year old cocker. It’s not a breed that I had ever considered so I was stoked to see that you have videos on this breed, thank you! I’m going to take the pup on a trial walk this week. Wish me luck!
Hey Delta, thanks for watching and reaching out. So sorry to hear about your terrier but it's great to hear you've been offered a cocker! Hopefully our channel can give you some good tips and help you learn more about this breed.
Hi mate how did u get on with the trial?
@@TargetrecoverytransportUk I adopted him 😊. I was told he was a pure cocker but he is about the size of a lab so I’m not so sure. He is the perfect addition to our family, it’s as if he’s always been here. He came with some minor behavioural issues but they have mostly self-corrected with a decent exercise routine. All of my previous dogs have been very independent (terriers and lurchers) so I’m having a lot of fun training a dog who is actually a willing participant! Are you considering one?
So happy you took him in despite this video. This video should just be a heads up not a reason why you shouldn't get one. One of my Cockers is 52lbs, not over weight just huge. He is English cocker and came from Colombia.
I've always had cocker spaniels as pets all my adult life. My last one passed at 17 yes old and I purchased a 4 month old puppy. It was, unfortunately a mistake. I'm ,71 yrs old and he's far far too energetic. I love this breed! Always so very loving and alert. He's a handful. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to train him on a treadmill. This is a dog for a young family, I didn't realize it..😖. BUT I was very sick AND THAT DOG NEVER took his eyes off me! I will keep my lovable companion 💓
How is it going now Sheilah? I hope you're coping okay with the pupper. I get tired and exhausted at 43 and it worries me to get a cockerspaniel for this reason so I can I only guess how much work it must be for you!
@@isla4953 hi Isla, Jax and I are doing better. He's quite stubborn 😂. I was blessed the young girl took a shine to him and comes by to get him EVERY DAY, while school was in vacation. She's back in school but still comes by every other day. I think Jax is slowly figuring it out,lol. Thx for asking about us!
My cocker spaniel would pinch the skin off your rice pudding, she will run off with anything you accidentally drop , also stubborn as a mule when she wants to be , but I love her to bits .🤣
Very stubborn but I feel like it gives them their charm, it shows intelligence imo
Anyway, spaniel can give a lot of love, fun and energy. The best dog ever. And I think. this is the best dog for people with bipolar disorder
Why is it good for bipolar ?
My cocker spaniel has helped my sleep massively, a common problem for BP.
Also dogs in general are good for depressive episodes. They are so loving and get you outside, both which are good for mood disorders.
@@thetruthwillsetyoufree9209 how helps for sleep? For me he is waking me up at 4 am to ask for food. And despite gave him food, he continues to make noise. Dont know what he wants.. i do caress him.. but gets hyper but its dark at 3.00/4.00 am and cant let him out
Good
Good
Having a cocker spaniel certainly wasn’t easy at first. I’ve had my best buddy Charlie since 2011 and it’s quite the journey. But I don’t regret getting her for a second. We’ve learned how to make bath time fun and whenever she’s up for it we go on walks. Because she’s an old lady sometimes she tuckers herself out and I have to carry her the rest of the way 😂
I've had mine since 2011 as well. She's had bad hips most of her life but she still goes up the stairs pretty well. She bunny hops lol
Thank you for takiing such a good care my paw buddy! My parent's to the same for me. We are lucy both.
I’ve found ear infections, grooming, and OCD with food / birds - but there is no reason not to get one if you’ve researched the breed and it’s a right fit for your life 🥺
they can be a lot and very verbal sometimes but other than that they’re super sweet and all of the cocker spaniels that i’ve had love cuddling and love being protective of their owners
We have a 2 year old sprocker, he is an absolute legend, the only thing we have always struggled with is pulling on the lead when he is excited about going somewhere. Recall is perfect.... Unless he sniffs out a pheasant 😑. If you want a dog that's guna keep you active and entertained, spaniel every time for me.
My dogs called Rosie and she never barks, only goes to the groomers ever 6 months and would stay happily by herself for a whole working day. Although we usually have someone to come home half way
Mine doesn't bark but she sure does cry! It's her way of communicating.
Shhh that wouldn't be click baity enough
I think I must have just gotten an angel cocker. She rarely barks unless a stranger knocks. I also worked very hard with her with a trainer and she is the perfect companion now. She can walk off leash and come back to me immediately. She takes herself into her crate with no fuss. A walk or two a day, a game of fetch in the backyard, and she's set. She is still having issues understanding house training but we're getting there.
Just learned my dog Lexi is half Cocker Spaniel and everything you've said is spot on! Those genes must run deep in her because she may as well have been a purebred! She has these huge brown eyes that are so sad looking it's hard to say no to treats and snacks!
COCKER SPANIELS ARE THE BEST DOGS
I love cocker spaniel so much but I love all dofs
Dogs*
They arr
Exactly
we put one down today. it was so sad. he had cancer. he looked so innocent and it crushed my heart. there so chill and family oriented when they get older
As an old lady who has had and loved cocker spaniels all my life, I think this is an excellent video. I loved all my spaniels but am now living in a Retirement Village and am not allowed to have pets. Perhaps as well as I couldn’t cope with a cocker spaniel now. It is true that they are high maintenance and very energetic. Very good watchdogs but prone to weight gain. A very good video. Well done 👍
I hope one comes to visit you soon! :) They are beautiful dogs
I agrees with you nice Lady. You said it perfect. I am truly sorry that you can't have paws anymore.
Good video? Really? Don’t think he is anti cocker spaniels? Grow ducking balls and stand up for your actual dog, Coker! He is a stupid man who Dayi g all these things about cockers! He is wrong! They are not loud … yea they do bark but all other dogs bark… what about yourkahire terriers ? Pinchers? And lots of others.. ye they do bark for no reason all day long, but cockers not! This man he is talking crap! No idea about the breed!
Milo and Mila are my two American Cockers. I rescued Milo at 6 y/o and Mila at 8 y/o. Milo has a heart condition and Mila is blind. They are now 11 y/o. All 5 points are true but these 2 are the loves of my life..... the sweetest and such characters. The hair and ears are high maintenance but is the price we pay for love!
Brushing my puppies is therapeutic and relaxing for me with high anxieties.
My Spaniel rarely barks. I think they are great dogs to have but need to have a good run everyday.
I am a quiet, introverted, somewhat disabled person with a 1 year old cocker. I find most of these things aren't true at least in my case. He only goes to the groomer maybe 6 times a year otherwise a brush now and then or a paw rinse in the tub if he got muddy he does fine. If you want to keep that classic cocker hairstyle all the time then yes you'll go to the groomer more often. He is very active but for me I like that about him but if he gets to be to much i give him a interactive food toy like a kong to keep him busy. Now he DOES bark at everything and sometimes he begs for my food but he is easily motivated by treats to learn. Overall I love my active dog and his zest for life he helps me stay active too!
We have our beautiful ‘Beau’ boy dog since he was 8 weeks old..we always wanted a working cocker as we used to walk an older spaniel for a friend..my goodness we didn’t know what we were letting ourselves in for..our puppy consumes much of our day…we have to get up at 5 or 6am EVERY morning for his wee wee’s (he is now 4 months old)…we have trained him to sit and wait for his food successfully…tried retrieval training which went brilliantly to begin with..but now as he has become more intelligent he will run with the retrieve and hide behind the sofa with it and chew! We’ve had to take away most of his toys as he chews them. Have only taken him in the garden for 1st 4 months as we know smells will distract him..he is on the GO all day and sometimes we can’t do things like we used to…putting washing in the machine..he will steal a sock…making food he is under our feet all the time..walking to heel on the slip lead is still abit of a nightmare..he pulls a lot..but we are progressing. We aim to get him trained enough for beating or field trials..it’s a work in progress. Beau is a lovely puppy..so excited to see us each morning you can’t help but love him..BUT…spaniels are VERY hard work..we understand they are working dogs. So yes if you want a quiet life DONT pick a spaniel. BUT We wouldn’t change him for the world .
I have 2 beautiful Working Cocker spaniels and they are the best dogs I’ve ever had. Alice is 4 years old and Sadie 8 months, and 4 of the 5 reasons not* to get a Cocker Spaniel apply to my two. I put the * asterisk because to me they aren’t a problem to me, I love the fact that they are high energy dogs as they have got me to spend so much time outdoors and I am proud of how healthy and happy they both are. People often comment on their coats, particularly my 4 year old as she is jet black and it really shines. I would never have any other dog than a WCS now, though I hope my girls still have MANY more years ahead of them. Thank you for a great video, I’m a new subscriber. ❤️❤️❤️
1. I started to love grooming my senior dog, i mean my seniorita
2. She hunts only sausages in our frige xD
3. When she bark,i bark with her, and she "talk" a lot
Shes very inteligent
4. Well she quite lazy...i have a border mix. Does not help xD
5. Yea nowadays is in fashion to be "thick"
😂If i had a bigger place i had at least 3 cocker dogs
And i will try to spin her lovely soft coat...💗
And yea, when i talked with my neighbour, she take joel (border mix) and they went straight into the kitchen (not ours), like"i like the smell here.." she is a "gurmet" breed!
I think for me it would be the grooming! I got lucky because our cocker is so chill, doesn’t really bark, has never had an ear infection. She is obsessed with food and loves to follow you everywhere. She’s 15 years old now and it’s tough! Her hind legs a weak and shaky, lost her hearing and slowly losing her sight. I never even liked dogs but she chose me to rescue her (was a stray that showed up in our bbq). Hard to see her get old. 😢
I have a female cocker spaniel and she is extremely smart. She basically house trained herself. She’s loyal, obedient, friendly, mature and very intelligent. Yes, i groom her twice a month.
So very true. Also, cocker spaniels are very sensitive, so no aggressive/ loud training with him! My cockers never have ear infection because of the high quality, WHOLE raw food recipe I follow (I've had 3).
You nailed it exactly, but too late. I couldn't resist rescuing Little Miss Sweetness. She is more maintenance than my Wolfhound and Labrador combined.
I have a cocker spaniel and I love him. I take him to a groomer 50 dollars every time but she does a wonderful job I have him shaved all over with cocker ears cut. My Cooper loves to wear hoodies when its cold. He chases rabbits and he enjoys it. He hasnt caught one he chases birds as well. He loves to look out the window. Make sure you shave the hair out of those ears and keep those ears clean with ear cleaner they are prone to ear infections. We have a k-9 cannon and i shoot the ball in the air he runs and jumps for them he sleeps in bed with me every night if he cant see me he will run to find me in the house. My cocker is between 20 to 25 pounds. They are thieves my sister had a subway 6 in sandwhich she walked away she was only gone 30 seconds he devoured it she turned around she saw him jump off the chair. I love this breed they have a good sense of humor as well.
We have a rescue Cocker Spaniel.
Someone just dropped him off in our neighborhood.
He's 5 and lively!!!
Have to clean his ears everyday.
He gets regular baths, and is professionally groomed once a month.
Never thought about a Cocker Spaniel, but he is lively😁
I am cocker spaniel owner, he barely barks, and i love him too much, he is basically the perfect pet and friend, when I adopted him I never imagined how wonderful "CHANO" was going to be; I have a couple of years with my girlfriend and she infinitely loves him, but the only thing I noticed is that she doesn´t like is his odor, so, the only reason you should not get a cocker is if you can´t support hard odors, otherwise is the best firend you may find, I had chihuahuas, french poodles, beagles, and mixed breeds, and those are great dogs, but I believe my cocker is the best dog ever, if you have any chance to get an english cocker, do not hesistate, you will fall in love.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Please how do you clean her ears? Any tips?
Does she scratch her ears often.. do you often notice that?
And do you notice a strong dog-odor from him/her? I shower mine every week..and clean the kennel every day twice but still the odor. Im discouraged. Help me with these 2 issues please. Any tips?
So acc to you, all the other dogs you have owned doesnt give this strong odor but u noticed it only with the cocker?
I clean his ears every other week with hydrogen peroxide, and cotton pads, and yes, my cocker has a very strong (not bad) odor, he basically smells like dog, He recently got a food allergies and I'm bathing him 2 times a week during 1 month, his odor goes a little bit but when is shower day again that strong dog smell is back previous the bath
My dog is a cocker spaniel and I did not need to teach her recall shes been excellent at coming back from day one! She is a working cocker but never would hurt a soul and does not hunt anything
We rescued a cocker spaniel. Perfect at first . Then 8months in suddenly started biting people . So far the bite count is four and various near misses . We have had a trainer in and they said she is guarding me . On Saturday a man insisted on trying to let her and she was sat with me outside a supermarket. She suddenly lunged at him and nearly got him . She now has to wear a muzzle in public. Mainly for her protection to avoid any mishaps. She has more lives than a Cheshire Cat . We love her more than life it’s self but I would say guarding is a big problem
Cocker spaniels are the most caring and loyal dogs in this world. I have one she’s 4 years old and she will never ever leave alone and wakes me up every morning with kisses and hugs as she was a little child. So whatever this guy says in this video is more than worth it having them. I will have 20 of them if I could ❤
My cocker spaniel was abondond and she is sooooo well behaved and never growls and I have a puppy cocker spaniel and she bites her and she dose not even growl at my puppy that often but she dose growl sometimes at her
I just rescued a Cocker Spaniel and was wondering if you knew of a place who adopts them out? He is doing great now, Vet says about 8-9 years old, very nice, likes to play, and is good with cats and other dogs.
My cocker loves mailman. Doesn’t bark for any reason, knocking on the door only if it’s some one she doesn’t know. Sociable. Likes long drives. Swims,runs, play . She is our family member. She eats only her dog food

@@KC-zg7th we get our groomer to clean our lady's ears. She goes every 8 weeks ish. I think also your vet may be able to help and advise you
We bought our ( working-Cocker Spaniel )as a Cockerpoo he didn't even look very much like a poodle a DNA test confirmed he was a pure breed working Cocker 3 generations both parents , my Background bipolar ex Hairdresser aged 60 haven't owned a dog since 1990 had cats , now own 2 cats aged 9 & 6 female . so I began training our Cocker Spaniel Barry the next day after picking him up , socialised him as soon as we possibly could after injections , he's never barked out of the house in the house the postman gets the bark of course but one word which is whisper , that takes care of the barking well its a whisper bark , he's walked 5 am for half an hour then again 9.30am to midday , he's left in the house 2 hrs in a morning and 3 hrs in the afternoon , short walk or garden end of the day . he loves other dogs & people & our cats also neighbours cats , we can walk past ducks he doesn't bother with them , squirrels doesn't bother them . food we eat , he never watches or begs , recall and tricks amazing , pulling on a lead magical word calm down does the trick , off the lead as soon as possible joggers or walker's running past he'll let me know first so he can respond to Come & wait over to one side while the person or persons have gone past us , training is ongoing if he starts to slip then back to basics , grooming he hates , nail cutting hates but has to be done , loves swimming in the local canal which he isn't allowed to at the moment as it's too cold , We both play fight with him , no bities command if he gets too rough , I have to watch other dogs don't get too rough with him as he's a bit of a softy , he's 17 months old , energy levels are more random bursts then again you have to stay calm because the energy level can go through the roof if you try to calm them down in a shout it's mixed messages , in case you wondered about the cats , kept them apart for about 8 months gradually started to mix things up , now leave child gates & doors open so they can be together if they want , sometimes they all sit or lay together the cats rub up against him no problems thank goodness can be obsessive with ball or toys so sometimes take ball on walk sometimes not , they do follow you around everywhere then again so do the cats , training is the key , never stop training them .
mines just a little barky barker. Love her to death shes the sweetest
English or American cockerspaniel?
Mine doesn’t bark at all unless there’s something off frfr but her coat doesn’t get long, her hunting instinct r there for sure but is manageable her weight we too active for her to b ov weight
Please remember there are huge differences between English and American. I had American and the only thing that was similar to the English is the issues around weight. Both of mine were not barkers, the second one only barked when someone came to door. As a single woman I appreciated his big scary bark for such a small dog. They got groomed 3x a year and brushed once a week! Best dogs for me!
This! I had an American Cocker Spaniel and she was the best dog. Like yours she only barked when someone came to the door and then immediately ran for a toy to greet them. She only had what I'd consider moderate energy levels and adapted to whatever we were doing so if we wanted to chill so did she but if we wanted to play she was up for it even at 15 years old. I miss her so much!
@@Carolinagirl1028 arent they just the best, most loyal lovig wigglebutts ever?
@@tinajensen5120 Yes! We lost ours to cancer at 15 years old unfortunately. For our second dog we went with a mixed breed rescue dog and while I love her dearly I still miss my sweet cocker everyday!
@@Carolinagirl1028 thinking of you. they are the sweetest ever
Very good. You are amazing! And my Cocker was really an angel❣👼
My two cocker spaniel puppies are a handful. I’m not introducing them to the outdoors until after their next round of shots. They’ll have flea treatments as well. But they are getting annoyed with me and my family, we are recovering from Covid. They have to be bathed pretty often at this age. They are a fun breed, goofy too. I have one that minds well, the other is a lil bit more high strung.😐
The bark one is spot on and made me laugh, all of these are spot on. My cocker is the only dog we've had so I never knew barking was something they are known to do in particular, i just thought it was a dog thing in general! Out of curiosity, why do they bark so much at everything?
I absoloutely love Cocker Spaniels. My aunt always had them. My mixed breed dog is 1/3.
For 40 years We have raised Brittany dogs , up to 3 at a time of different ages, so feel prepared for another spaniel breed. I would like a smaller breed much like the Brittany so am interested in a cocker. Are they that much different other than size?
I got a Russian spaniel bred from cocker and springers … she is the best dog super smart active out side and a couch potatoe inside with me
They certainly need a particular owner and they do require some work but we're picking up our next one this weekend!
My list of "should do" with a cocker :
- learn to clean and inspect ears
- measure weigth of food and dog to find exact amount of food to keep dog shape. Ajust for seasons and activity profile. My dog eats 38gr morning and supper. 10% is 4gr, not a lot but a dog gaining 10% of weigth is a lot. Our balance is precise at 1gr.
- use positive feedback and learn to change the thought (focus) of your dog to avoid bad behavior without frustrating your dog. Do it while the dog is young is better.
- never to scream loudly at your dog because it has done something wrong. Most dogs forgot what they have done after few seconds and even if they recall, they might not associate your angryness with their action.
Good tips!

Does she scratch her ears often.. do you often notice that?
And do you notice a strong dog-odor from him/her? I shower mine every week..and clean the kennel every day twice but still the odor. Im discouraged. Help me with these 2 issues please. Any tips?
@@KC-zg7th Sorry, I just see your answer. Dogs with long ears are used to have problems with their ears. My wife which is a medical doctor and nurse is doing the cleaning. A shower per week seams a lot. We are doing it once a month but we are using a veterinary shampoo and conditionner.
However, we check ears twice a week and clean them each week. We are using fragrance free, alcool free, humid wipes and Aveeno Sativa. My wife is using her small finger. I recommend to ask to a veterinary for a how-to. We also trim the inside of the "flap" for air circulation.
By the way, never never let your dog having his head out of the window when driving a car. Dirts can scratch their eyes and go in their ears.
If bad odors is coming from ears, it may be yeast. If from mouth, it may be related to food or a dental problem.
If from body, have the dog trim.
Too frequent shampoo or bad quality one may irritate the skin.
Sorry for my english, I do not write that often.
All excellent tips. I will add, weigh your dog regularly ish. You can weigh yourself then weigh yourself agian but holding the dog and subtract your own weight. If you keep constant tabs on it you can adjust the food amount as you need to.
@@Stettafire It is what we are doing. Keeping an Libre Office Calc sheet (or msft Excel) to see weight trend. For one dog, we put a box on the scale and calibrate the zero. For the other one, we hold it in our arm and substract our weight like you write.
Could you do a differences between the show cocker and working cocker and the same for the springer
Thanks for the idea, we'll see what we can do in future uploads
I take it this is just applicable to show type cockers? As someone who has had and trained multiple working cockers and can attest to the fact working cockers are pretty silent
Huge energy in my working Cocker spaniel exhausting but I love him
My cocker spaniel wanted to give 5 quick facts as to never get a hillbilly beard.
1. It just looks rough
2. No one wants to look at that after they have had a rough day
3: The texture of a beard when trying to lick someone’s face is just too rough
4. It must be rough trying to keep your hillbilly beard looking so rough
5 Well he didn’t have a 5, he just wants you to stop being so rough on cocker spaniels
My beautiful working cockers are just the best dogs ever. Don't get one unless you love walking and having lots of cuddles. Not overfeeding is easy. They have their food, I have mine there is no crossover. But they are working dogs and that is what they do best. Hours and hours of training are rewarded with well behaved loyal dogs. I would never have another breed.
So, I'm a perspective pet parent looking to do my research on the American Cocker as I was drawn to them by their temperament. I want to be a good, knowledgeable pet parent as i was raised in a home with dogs that had no training at all- loved them but true terrors. When mentioning about their strong need to hunt which makes sense because they were bred to hunt the woodcock, a low flying bird, would training classes help sustain that need along with play time? I'm also course how I can properly discipline barking, I don't mind it but I'd like knowledge so my future baby knows there is a limit. GREAT video, you've gained a subscriber!
Glad you enjoyed our video, hope our channel helps you give better understanding of the spaniel breed before you bring one home!
My golden cocker spaniel was always inquisitive and had a really beautiful nature. He loved playing and smelling everything. He loved smelling the flowers and his favourite is a lemon smelling little tree that I have and he would rub himself on the leaves. He never dug holes or broke anything or chased anything except while playing with the other dog as they would take it in turns to chase each other. My retired neighbour would tell me that he would look over the wall to watch them play when I was at work. He loved people, but would only accept a stranger on our property if we said it was ok. He loved walking on the beach or in the forest and meeting other dogs. Everyone loved him and he was so cute. He loved hugs and belly rubs. He lived until 17 and a half years old. I miss him so much.
we had a cocker spaniel when i was younger (from 2 to 14 she was the same age) and she love all the same food i did so i had to walk around with my food up in the air so she wouldn't snatch it lol, but she was a sweetie.
This is my dog you are talking about adding to that the stubborn mind of her . . . but still love her the most
Thanks for watching!
My golden cocker is very affectionate and playful but obsessed with food and looks for valuable items to steal and guards them in return for food. Gets very aggressive and shows his teeth if you try to get the item off him. Those bites seriously hurt. He was like this from the day he came home(we think he was puppy farmed) and haven't been able to change his behaviour. Can't afford a behaviourist. Def messed up somewhere down the line.
They all seem to have this pinching and guarding personality mine will pinch anything socks , cloth pegs , paper , anything you accidentally drop, I always give mine a item of more value like a treat to tempt her to drop something she's pinched rather than try to force it off her ,mine is the same as yours but not aggressive when guarding something she should not have 👍
It might be worth checking out our video on resource guarding, ruclips.net/video/X79DIMxLVko/видео.html.

As a working english cocker spaniel puppy owner I disagree! I work and have a small child. Perfect choice for a family dog, companion dog as well as busy family life etc. So easy to train! House train, walk nice on lead, and heels. It just takes a little simple training which everyone who's a responsible dog owner would do anyway. They want to please, and listen so well. Amazing with redirection etc. The energy levels are what makes them so fun! Daily long walk,, play time with toys, zoomies in the garden. Relaxed in the house! Loves to sleep and incredibly cuddly. Lapdog! Won't bother us when eating, listens the first time. Wants to please! I'm so proud to own a cocker spaniel, they have become my favourite breed. My girl is a dream and she's my little boys best friend! They are also so loving, friendly and sweet. I can't explain their is something about them, they are special 🥰 also only barks when playing, like to get someone's attention when they have stopped for a second, she does however make the SWEETEST humming like noises when playing, I think it's her way of talking so I guess they are very talkative 😂
I have a cuteee cocker.. Julie.. All the points u told all matches with her.. If I have to tell one thing why I should not think of having a cocker is that she does not stay at home alone even for a minute. She will bark till u come home.. And about point no. 1 yes.. I can't even think of having cake alone.. She will never alllow me.. I loveeee her the mosssst..
She is blessed with 5 adorable puppies.. It their 1 month birthday today.
All true. My cocker spaniel knocked bird right out of the air and started eating him. Aside from that, she's a great family dog.
Hmm, my cocker spaniel almost never barks. She's only "crying" and "singing" ;p
Anyone worried about any of these 5 things shouldn't get a puppy, period 😂 Cockers are incredible doggos!
Mine doesn’t even bark they barely even bark as much as small yappy dogs
I have 3 perfectly healthy and beautiful buffcoloured American cockerspaniel girls- had a boy too who passed last year due to age. I agree that it’s not Dogs for anyone, but I had never experienced the problems described in this video! (I groom my Dogs myself and activates physically every day. I live in a city in an apartment)
my cocker spaniel barks but i dont think the grooming is 4 to six weeks thats too soon
Cocker spaniels are the only dogs I’ve ever had. They’re very fun and energetic!!! I also love their droopy ears and mouths!! They would always kill the poor birds in my backyard!! Lol!! I had to put my cocker down in July 2019. I cried for months!! I miss her sooooo much!!
Ah, so sorry to hear about your loss! It's never easy, but hopefully in time you can bring a new canine companion into your pack
@@willathertonspanielshow6381 Awwwww Thank you!! No more dogs for me. I hate saying goodbye to them.
I got one and he’s awesome
Do not get a Cocker Spaniel if you can't stand having the best dog and loving companion ever! My sweet Cocker Spaniel was one of the Best people I have ever known. ❤😔
THIS!!! We had our Cocker for almost 16 years when she died and she was the best, most loving dog ever. Truly my best friend. It's been three years and I still haven't gotten over losing her and I don't think I ever will. I say don't get a Cocker if you don't want them to ruin other dogs for you.
My dog Mazy-Mae is a cocker spaniel. When I was researching their traits surprisingly I saw and was also told by cocker spaniel owners how mellow they are and friendly. Ummm she was the opposite of all that. She's 2yrs old now and has calmed down some but will play fetch for a good hour. She does bark but luckily not anymore than our two Chihuahua mix dogs but she is way louder voice wise. Mazy is also a whiner. Whines to go potty, when she's bored, when she wants something etc.
One thing that has developed is seizures. One was about 3 weeks ago and another episode today. We're going to get her looked at tomorrow. I don't know if it's just something that happens to dogs or breed specific?
I have an cocker spaniel English and Saturday night do some little puppy
Sir my cocker spaniel never barks...loved your video
Thanks so much for watching!
I have 2 cocker spaniels, 1 working and 1 show and they’re the best dogs I’ve ever owned, they’re also the stupidest dogs going by also being the most intelligent! It is true they do have them big eyes that make your heart melt but I wouldn’t have them any other way
Item on the English Cocker, but shows an American Cocker and a Welsh Springer. Completely different dogs, especially the Springer. Their energy level is much much higher.
I have one already but he is so cute and playful :)
I have 6 American Cocker Spaniels, I groom them all, I have never had any problems with mine. They are lovely natured family dogs
Thanks for the tips!
Omg the barking, my 2 Spaniels can get onto the windowsill and anything that goes past the window they bark at, other than that they are lovely dogs to have.
I have a cocker as well, he never barks aside from the once in a while “half bark” if he hears something strange to him (which is normal). I taught him as a pup that barking was not acceptable behavior, so the rare times he does bark i know something is not right and he stops when i tell him everything is fine.
Why haven't you trained them? Are they cooped up inside your house all day or are they allowed to roam freely inside and outside in your back yard? Do you stimulate them by playing with them?
@@devinity5391 Yes actually we take them out a lot for runs on fields, and for for swims. And we also have actively had them at training. We do know it is cruel to keep your dog stuck in the house all day. Just because a dog barks a lot it doesn’t mean they aren’t trained as you have assumed. My dogs are perfectly happy.
English or American?
Where are you in the country? I need to fix my resource guarding Cocker
Cocker sapnuls are great
Does this apply to American as well?
Had a cocker spaniel once when I was much younger and was a great dog but the dog was slick. When the front door was opened he was out like a rocket and one day he chased a truck towing a trailer and unfortunately was smashed to death.
I have two, your 100% Spot on on your points..... :)
My 12 years old years old chocolate one seems to be an eternal puppy 😬energy energy energy like a comet 💫 ⚡️☄️💫💥☄️☄️☄️
I know right? They have an eternal puppy energy lol
@@piaaadah tell me about that!😅
My lady at 6 is just starting to decide she doesn't want to get up at the crack of dawn anymore
Hi Will, apart from size do your comments apply to both English and American Cockers? I've loved and trained Border Collies and Golden Retrievers and am looking for a smaller breed for probably my last dog. I want to adopt an older dog to share my rural home and small acreage.
Love your videos!!
Thank you!!
I'm looking to get a Shih Tzu. Can you please guide me?
What accent is this? It's beautiful!
Good advice, thank you.
You're welcome!
All spot on..
Great family dug .but they hard graft
I have a cocker spaniel, and she had really crispy nose on the top, the rest of the nose is normal, is that ok for the bred? She is a rescue we have her for almost a year now, she is 7 years old
Thanks for watching! If you have any health concerns about your dog, it's also best to chat these through with your vet 😊
i saw in some other video comment , only reason you should not get a cocker spaniel is that your heart is going to be broken when they pass away.
NOW,IM GONNA MAKE A RUclips VIDEO ABOUT WHY YOU SHOULD GET A COCKER SPANIEL
Luckily enough, we have one too: ruclips.net/video/ftlH1NOISKM/видео.html
