American Cocker Spaniel

1.Buff

Yellow. Including light yellow, golden yellow, dark yellow, orange, etc.
This is the classic coat color that comes to mind when people think of Cocker Spaniels. It is the most common and easiest color to find.

2.Silver

Silver
A color much lighter than yellow. Almost close to white, but not white.

3.Red

Red
Similar to yellow, but darker.

4.Black

Black
The second most common Cocker Spaniel coat color after yellow. Some white on the neck and chest is acceptable.

5.Chocolate

Coffee
May be my favorite coat color, but so far I don’t have a coffee-colored Cocker Spaniel of my own.

6.Black&Tan

Black and flesh brown
Simple black mixed with some brown spots.

7.Chocolate&Tan

Coffee and meat brown
Coffee color mixed with brown spots. However, the variety standard states that brown cannot cover more than 10% of the area.

8.Black&WhitePartiColor

Black and White PartiColor
This is the most common type of two-color.

9.Black&WhiteTriColor

Black and white tricolor
Black and white with brown spots.

10.Red&WhiteParti

Red and White Parti
This is the most beautiful of the different colors of the Cocker Spaniel. If the shades of red are lighter, some breeders classify them as yellow and white.

11.Chocolate&WhiteParti

Coffee and White Parti
A very gorgeous Cocker Spaniel coat color.

12.Chocolate&WhiteTriColor

Coffee and White TriColor
Coffee and White TriColor with brown spots.

13.Sable

Dark/Sable
A very interesting coat color and one of the most controversial.
A combination of black and any color other than white indicates that you are most likely seeing a dusky/sable Cocker Spaniel.

14.ChocolateSablePartiColor

Dark coffee two-color
It is very close to coffee white two-color, but the replacement of coffee color is a mixture of black and brown.

15.RedSableParti

Dark red bicolor
It is very similar to red and white bicolor, but the red part is darker, thanks to the sable gene.
Any dark red and two-toned Cocker Spaniel that I have ever seen has an extraordinarily gorgeous coat.

16.BlueRoanParti

Blue and chestnut
The coat color looks blue under certain light. This photo does not fully show its true color.
The blue and chestnut color is a very rare coat color.

17.BlueRoanTri

BlueRoanTri
Similar to the previous photo but with more brown spots.

18.BlueMerle

Blue Merle
This is a black Cocker Spaniel with merle genes. This is a good photo, and you can see that the coat color is bluish-gray under certain lighting.

Merle Rooster Dogs are often registered as blue chestnuts and look very similar. But there are big differences between them, and it's very important to tell them apart when mating. This is what I will say in the future, and I will post it later.

19.Bluemerleparti

Merile double color
It can be seen that the merle color gene has been diluted into large pieces of blue black hair.

20.Bluemerlepartiwithtanpoints

Blue merlepartiwithtanpointsBlue merlepartiwithtanpoints
Same as the one in the previous photo, but with more brown spots.

21.ChocolateMerleParti

Coffee MerleParti Double Color
It is so rare that you will most likely never see one like this in your life.

22.Black&WhitePartiColorwithTicking

Black and White PartiColorwithTicking
The black freckles are covered with white hair, which is easily reminiscent of a Dalmatian dog.
It is called a flea because it looks like the infamous bug.
Interestingly, freckles are not visible on newborn babies.
The second baby from the right is the one on the right in the photo above, on the 4th day after birth.

23.Tickingonachocolateparti

Coffee bicolor freckles
24. This is the most unique Cocker Spaniel I have ever seen.
It comes in all colors: merle, bicolor, brown spots, and freckles. . .
The most distinctive thing is that it has both black freckles and brown freckles.
Her name is Riley and the photo is from her owner Keri Poole.

25. "Open" bicolor

This is a bicolor cocker spaniel, one of which must be white and the proportion of white must not be less than 10%.
When the proportion of white is very high, the pattern is called an "open" two-color pattern.

26."Closed"markings

Closed spots
The opposite of "open" is "closed".
When a bicolor Cocker Spaniel has a very low proportion of white, it is said to be "closed".
Another term is called "heavy spotting."
But remember that if the proportion of white is less than 10%, it is not considered a two-color.

27.Amis-markedsolidcolor.

Amis-marked solid color Cocker Spaniel
This is the result of mating a solid color and a two-color (multi-color) Cocker Spaniel.
See the white spots on the nose, neck and paws?
According to the standards, this is unacceptable, a no-no.
