The English Cocker Spaniel is a true concentrate of cheerfulness, vitality and intelligence . Its tail waggles constantly, especially when it is in action and, during the hunt, when it follows a trail. At home, he shows off his very playful nature with children , while being affectionate. As long as he can exercise himself, he is a very good companion dog, but he should not be confined to the living room of a house. He is never happier than when he indulges in the outdoor life and exerts himself.

Ease of grooming

The silky coat of the English Cocker Spaniel requires daily maintenance , as impurities of all kinds can easily get mixed up in it during walks. On the grooming side, the English Cocker Spaniel should not especially be shaved , under penalty of seeing his hair curl when regrowing.

The Cocker Spaniel can be brushed about 2 to 3 times a week , in order to avoid knots. A bath from time to time is possible. The ideal is to schedule a session with a professional groomer about every 2 months. Hair that is too long can be cut so that it does not drag on the floor.

It is recommended to clean the ears every week with hydrophilic cotton, to mow the inside and to lighten its attachment by cutting a few hairs. These measures help prevent the occurrence of an ear infection. Regular brushing of the dog’s teeth helps eliminate tartar build-up and the growth of bacteria. If necessary, the nails can be cut. If you are new to this, it is best to seek advice from a veterinarian.
