The National Cocker Spaniel is an athletic type with a lively personality. Native to England, it is the oldest of the Cocker Spaniels. He is very keen on field work and has the ability to easily complete search missions, scare birds with his shrill bark, and perform retrieval missions. The Inka has a very special, quadrangular head and a square muzzle that is endearing. It is a very well-proportioned dog, with no part appearing exaggerated either when standing or in motion, and the overall coordination is more important than the sum of all parts.
Spaniels very similar to this dog existed in paintings as early as 1300. About 5000 years later, the spaniel gradually diverged into seven breeds: namely the English Cocker Spaniel, Welsh Cocker Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Sussex Spaniel, Ranch Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel and Crumb Spaniel. The documented history of the modern Cocker Spaniel begins with the birth of the first English Cocker Spaniel, the Orb, on June 14, 1879. Prior to the 17th century, this type of dog was known as a spaniel regardless of its size, body length, or pace. In 1892 the British Kennel Club finally recognized them as two separate breeds. This Cocker Spaniel is the English Cocker Spaniel. The English Cocker Spaniel is a mischievous, lively and energetic dog, so it is important to ensure a certain amount of exercise every day. Owners can lead their dogs for a few laps around the area so that not only their dogs, but also themselves can follow along with the exercise, so to speak, which is the best of both worlds. Koka's fur tends to get tangled up in clumps, so it's best to comb it every once in a while. Ear hair also needs to be cleaned from time to time, so the Cocker Spaniel is not suitable for very busy people.
The English Cocker Spaniel is a cheerful and loving dog, calm, neither slow nor overly exuberant, kind, gentle, affectionate, energetic, agile, intelligent, lively, enthusiastic and friendly by nature. A willing worker, reliable and charming companion, very keen to work in the field. Easy to obey is also one of its very good advantages.
