I have an American Cocker Spaniel. Her name is Peppi. She is black/gold and is going to be turning 10 next monday.
Peppi was never destructive as a puppy and to this day still isn't.
She isn't an overly hyper cocker spaniel like some I have seen but I think that is because she has taken on my laid back personality.
She loves people and other dogs, just a regular social butterfly. And she is so smart, she picks up on tricks quickly and loves learning.
My family grew up with cockers so they have been in the family for awhile.
I will probably always have a cocker in my life, I love this breed!!
Oh and when she was younger she did dribble urine, only when she got excited, she quickly grew out of it. But for potty training, she trained real quick.
Cockers are known for ear infections but the funny thing is Peppi has never had an ear infection her whole life. Even my vet is amazed at this.
She does have some skin allergies, she just gets dry skin often.
All in all, I would say cocker spaniels are generally a healthy, intelligent, loving breed. |
