Does all Cocker Spaniel look alike?? No they are actually not. There are two types of Cocker Spaniels; American and English. The one on the right is American Cocker Spaniel and left is English Cocker Spaniel. How can we differential from their look? The English Cocker Spaniel is slightly larger than the American Cocker. The most obvious difference can be seen in the head shapes. Compared to the English Cocker, the American Cocker's skull has a distinctly domed skull, as well as a deep pronounced stop and more clearly defined eyebrows. Also the American's lips tend to hang down farther and more loosely, and its eyes are slightly larger and set more to look straight ahead than of the English Cocker Spaniel. Finally the American Cocker has a more profuse coat than the English Cocker. I meet Whisky weekly for shower or grooming. He is such a lovely boy, when his daddy was away he boarded at his nanny's place. He made the family love him so much. He's going to join Milo at India soon. Really hope he can adjust himself well. He usually has weak stomach and hopefully those curry don't make him upset easily..
hehe :P
Cocker Spaniels are quick-to-learn, obey easily and have a sweet and trusting nature. They are generally good with strangers, but make an excellent watchdog when they feel that the home is threatened. They are amazingly adaptable. If you’re an active hiker, these dogs will keep pace with you all the livelong day. If you’re a couch potato, your Cocker Spaniel will gladly join you on the sofa. They’ll be perfectly happy in an apartment or house, as long as they get a decent amount of exercise and attention.

Being a popular pet for several decades, Cocker Spaniels have suffered from over-breeding, which has caused a number of health and personality issues—e.g. aggressiveness, shyness and roaming—that are not typical of the breed. Take care to socialize and train your Cocker Spaniel puppy to make them comfortable with children and other animals. Cocker Spaniels need daily grooming—washing and brushing—to keep their lovely coats in shape. Also, clean their ears regularly to prevent infection. A healthy Cocker Spaniel can live as long as 15 years. Common health problems include eye issues (glaucoma, cataracts), spinal problems and skin problems.
