Cocker Spaniel Mix Dog Breed - The Cutest Cocker Spaniel Mix Photos

History

While their origins are unknown, "spaynels" are mentioned in 14th-century writings. They are commonly assumed to have originated in Spain, and Edward, 2nd Duke of York in his 15th-century work The Master of Game introduces them as "Another kind of hound there is that be called hounds for the hawk and spaniels, for their kind cometh from Spain, notwithstanding that there are many in other countries." The Master of Game was mostly an English translation of an earlier 14th century Old French work by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn entitled Livre de Chasse

Care and Health

To keep their silky coat free of mats, American Cocker Spaniels require weekly brushing and combing. Also clipping and trimming every 2-3 months. If you clip the short really short, it's much easier to care for. From hip problems to eye problems to skin problems to epilepsy, American Cocker Spaniels are one of the riskiest breeds in the health department.
