Grooming The Cocker Spaniel
Grooming the Cocker Spaniel
COAT-On the head, the hair is short and fine; on the body, it is of medium length, with enough undercoating to give protection. The ears, chest, abdomen and legs are well feathered, but not so excessively as to hide the Cocker Spaniel's true lines and movement or affect his appearance and function as a moderately coated sporting dog. The texture is most important. The coat is silky, flat or slightly wavy and of a texture which permits easy care.
CHARACTER Above all, the cocker must be free and merry. He is energetic, readily trainable, intelligent, affectionate and, as their constantly wagging tails tell us – quite merry.
