Active, sweet, and medium-sized, English Cocker Spaniels make excellent family pets. They are slightly taller than long, compact, and have a powerful gait that helps them be effortless and speedy fast on foot.  Their silky coat is medium in length and can be flat or wavy with feathering around their ears, chest, and legs. The English Cocker Spaniel breed is always on the go, clever, and curious. They are happy tail-waggers, always attached to their owner's side.
