breeding of the English Cocker Spaniels that were brought to the United States. The American
Cocker Spaniel has a smaller stature than the English Cocker Spaniel and different conformation. The name "Cocker"
originated from the woodcock, a game bird spaniels flush. Today, the Cocker Spaniel serves primarily as a companion
and show dog. Their hunting instincts remain but are not utilized. The can also be used for tracking, retrieving, agility
and work as service dogs.
