Now she has regrown her shaved coat. Took three hours to clear the mats and her personality has blossomed. She backs at door knocks and occasionally at high energy people or dogs. Generally very quiet and loves to walk and play had a great black ECS too. Love the breed. We are in the procees of adopting a cocker whose master is close to dying from cancer.
Do you suggest a blanet or something elsr with the smell his is used to. Having had hunting dogs all of my life, I knew just what to do with all that energy. She has a high energy level and really excellent working drive. She requires a LOT of exercise, both mental and physical, and time which I am able to give her so it works out for us. I did my research before I started my hunt for my ECS and knew that good breeding was my starting point in my search for a puppy.
Coat color was my last concern…. It was a good decision…. So this breed might not be a good choice for everyone. Then again, the temperament can vary quite a bit. Her brother from the same litter is pretty calm.
We have a golden cocker, male 3 yrs old who is a VERY friendly yet hyper dog. He is friendly to people as well as other dogs and has never shown any aggression except occassional barking towards one or 2 strangers. When he is properly introduced he quickly warms up and never stops wagging his tail. Since he was abandoned, we have no way of knowing how he avoided that.
He exhibited extreme shyness toward strangers with peeing after an initial barking frenzy, especially toward men. Now, 6 years later, he still barks aggressively at strangers who are at the door but warms up quickly when they toss his ball or feed him a treat.
He also has leash aggression toward strange dogs but not people. I had a holden cocker spaniel named maggie. She was a very placid little couch potato but still enjoyed a walk. She was 10 when we got her. My brother adopted a young mastiff x boxer dog called bear. She raised him and put him in his place, he now has a younger brother who he taught the same as she did.
She was good with kids, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, and was a very good girl when it came to emotional support as well.
She lived a long life and passed away due to a blocked bladder at It's almost white, but not quite. Photo courtesy of Tauny Lafleche. Comparison of a Silver to a Buff These two pups clearly show the difference between a silver and a buff Cocker Photo courtesy of Erika Kehoe. Red Similar to buff, but darker and deeper in color. Black The second most common Cocker color, behind buff. A small amount of white on the neck or chest is OK, per the breed standard.

Sable A very interesting and controversial coat color. I could probably make a whole page of photos of sables that all have different markings. Black fur mixed in with other non-white colors is one tip-off that you might be looking at a sable.

Roans are very unusual and hard to come by. Blue Roan Tri Same as the dog in the previous picture, but with the addition of tan points. Photo courtesy of Leanna Mobbs. Blue Merle This is simply a solid black Cocker with the merle gene. This picture does a good job of showing how in certain light the coat can look like it has a blue tint to it.
Merles are usually registered as roans, and look very similar. See my merle page to learn about important differences between merles and roans, and to find out why it's absolutely vital to know what you are doing before ever breeding a Cocker with the merle coat.
Blue merle parti You can see how the merle gene has diluted large areas of the black fur to gray and how it looks to have a blue tint. Blue merle parti with tan points Same as the dog in the previous picture, but with the addition of tan points. Chocolate Merle Parti So unusual that chances are you'll never see one of these in your lifetime! Photo courtesy of Rossana Bartra. It's called ticking because it looks like the dog is covered with the infamous insect. One very interesting thing about ticking is that it is not evident at birth Look at the second puppy from the right, in the photo below.
It's the same dog in the right side of the photo above. At four days old, there is no signs of ticking on the second puppy from the right. The ticking slowly started to show at about six weeks Ticking on a chocolate parti Photo courtesy of Susan Ramaker. The most unusually marked Cocker I've ever seen This dog has it all Merle, parti, tan points, and ticking, too. What's especially unusual is that there is both black ticking and tan ticking.
His name is Riley If the ratio of white to the other color is very high, the dog is said to have "open" markings. Photo courtesy of Sherry Chandler. A parti colored dog where the ratio of white to the other color is low. Another term used to described a dog like this is to say that she is "heavily marked".
The two recessives lighten the coat color to lemon. A genetically solid lemon will be registered in English Cocker Spaniels as either a red who has a liver nose or golden. An important fact to remember is that these color factors are at work in solids, roans and parti-colors English Cocker Spaniels the same way.
Coat patterns are determined separately. This is the normal gene in breeds without white markings. An SS dog can completely lack white, but it can also express very minor white markings such as a white streak on the chest.
Since S , solid color is dominant, a solid can carry for parti-color, but a parti-color cannot carry for solid. A solid carrying two genes for solid can only produce solid and bred to a parti-color will only result in solid color puppies, but all those puppies will be carriers for parti-color.
If a solid that carries a gene for parti-color is bred to a parti-color, some puppies will be solids and some will be partis, but all the solids will carry for parti-color.
The nature of the coat pattern and the progressive development of dark hair in a light area is unclear and still in debate. Roan can carry for open marks, but open marks cannot carry for roan. Ticking are flecks of color in areas where the coat would have been white. When ticking occurs between patches, they are registered as color, white and ticked. The loci is T , ticking.
T ticking is dominant over t lack of ticking. The amount and location of ticking are greatly affected by genes for size, shape and density of the ticking. There is disagreement on whether ticking is the same as roaning or not. Both can occur on the same dog, although roaning plus open marks cannot. An open marked dog will have clear white between patches.
When ticking occurs between patches, they are not truly open marked but registered color, white, and ticked. Lack of ticking tt is recessive to roan and ticking. So, a roan can carry for open marks, but open marks cannot carry for roan.
