Cockers are one of the most beautiful breeds of dogs. Their long coats can be absolutely spectacular looking. All breeds of puppies are cute, but Cockers remain cute all of their lives. A well-groomed Cocker will definitely turn heads.
Cockers love people and are very devoted pets. It's a very people-oriented breed. Almost all Cockers love to be with people, and are usually happiest if they are right by the side of their owner. It's a very happy breed.
You'll often hear Cockers referred to as "merry". They just seem to be enjoying themselves most of the time. All you have to do is watch that tail wag, and you can tell when a Cocker is happy... which most of the time is. Most Cockers are playful and fun to be around. They'll often make you laugh. Imagine a dolphin, with fur and legs. A playful, happy, merry tail-wagger... that's the Cocker Spaniel.
Cockers are physically smaller than many of today's most popular breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds. This means you spend less on food, clean up less poop, can keep the dog in smaller areas, have an easier time physically controlling and transporting the dog, and that the dog will require less exercise.
