Cocker Spaniels are divided into British and American breeds. They are docile, cheerful and smart, and can become very loyal pet dogs. The value of a purebred Cocker Spaniel is very high. However, the pet dog market is still relatively chaotic, and some unscrupulous dog dealers sell inferior dogs as good ones. Use a Cocker Spaniel instead of a purebred Cocker Spaniel. So how should we judge whether a Cocker Spaniel is pure or not, and how should we choose a purebred Cocker Spaniel?

To know whether a Cocker Spaniel is pure or not, you should first clearly know what characteristics a purebred Cocker Spaniel has.

1. The head of a purebred Cocker Spaniel should be flat, and the proportions of the entire head should be coordinated with the body, neither too big nor too small. With the eyes as the center, the length from the front to the front of the mouth and from the back to the back of the head should be the same.

2. The best position of the ears of a purebred Cocker Spaniel should be at eye level when viewed from the side. Higher or lower than the eyes are considered faults. The spirit should be full and the eyes should be bright at the same time. The ears are large, and their length should be compared by gently pulling up the vertical big ears and the mouth. The most standard is that the ears are as long as the front of the mouth.

3. The back of a purebred Cocker Spaniel is straight and must not become undulating hills. Any bends are considered defects. The limbs should be strong and powerful, and covered with thick long hair, which is very elegant when the Cocker Spaniel is running.

4. Purebred Cocker Spaniels can have their tails docked or unbroken, and their hair can come in many colors, such as brown-red, black, etc., which are all allowed.

To choose a purebred Cocker Spaniel, you must understand the above characteristics of the dog in detail. Of course, in addition to referring to these standards when purchasing, you must also pay attention to the health issues of the candidate dogs. Any Cocker Spaniel that looks unhealthy or has physical defects cannot be purchased.
