  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

Please visit the English Cocker Spaniel Club of America’s website at www.ECSCA.info for more information about the breed. History Spaniels are believed to have originated in Spain and were mentioned in ancient British laws as early as 300AD. Until the early 20th century, “spaniel” was a generic term for dogs that could be used to hunt and flush a variety of game birds. The smaller dogs were called “cockers” and were used to hunt woodcock. Larger dogs from the same litter were called “springers” as they flushed or sprang birds from cover. Eventually, as people bred for either cockers or springers, two separate breeds were developed.

Cocker spaniel refers to two modern breeds of dogs of the spaniel dog type: the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel, both of which are commonly called simply Cocker Spaniel in their countries of origin. It was also used as a generic term prior to the 20th century for a small hunting Spaniel. Cocker spaniels were originally bred as hunting dogs in the United Kingdom, with the term "cocker" deriving from their use to hunt the Eurasian Woodcock. When the breed was brought to the United States it was bred to a different standard which enabled it to specialize in hunting the American Woodcock. Further physical changes were bred into the cocker in the United States during the early part of the 20th century due to the preferences of breeders. Spaniels were first mentioned in the 14th century by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn in his work the Livre de Chasse. The "cocking" or "cocker spaniel" was first used to refer to a type of field or land spaniel in the 19th century.

  • The English Cocker at Home and Abroad It's Journey Down the Centuries As a Spaniel, a Cocker and Finally a Recognized Breed
    The English Cocker At Home and Abroad Geraldine R. Dodge It’s journey down the centuries as a Spaniel, a Cocker and finally a recognized breed. Mrs. Dodge (1882 – 1973) was the first Honorary Member of the ECSCA. Before this, however, she had held every office in the Club and was one of its original founders. She can be considered the patron and protector of the breed in the U.S.A. as it was through her efforts and sponsorship of extensive research into pedigrees which convinced the American Kennel Club to grant the English Cocker Spaniel separate breed status in its Stud Book late in 1946 at a time when the American Cocker was at the height of its popularity. She imported many excellent specimens which helped strengthen the breed in this country, and many of her “Giralda” English Cockers served as foundations for other kennels. Copyright, 1952, by Geraldine R. Dodge To the neophyte and the casual observer the English Cocker Spaniel has remained something of a mystery. To many of the more seasoned fanciers he may have seemed like an interloper – here comes a Cocker Spaniel nosing his way in where already there is another perfectly good Cocker Spaniel! We might have answered like the man who said “No thank you,” he didn’t need that book because he had a book. But of course there are different books on the same subject, just as there are different breeds from the same rootstock, and in truth we need them all. In order to understand whence came the English Cocker, let us go back to the original Spaniel, one of the oldest families of the dog world mainly responsible for the sporting gundogs of the day.

  • The English Cocker Spaniel Club of America, Inc. Illustrated Breed
    The English Cocker Spaniel Club of America, Inc. Illustrated Breed Standard Illustrations by Patricia Janzen 1 Elaborations by the ECSCA Breed Education Committee General Appearance Standard: General Appearance The English Cocker Spaniel is an active, merry sporting dog, standing well up at the withers and compactly built. He is alive with energy; his gait is powerful and frictionless, capable both of covering ground effortlessly and penetrating dense cover to flush and retrieve game. His enthusiasm in the field and the incessant action of his tail while at work indicate how much he enjoys the hunting for which he was bred. His head is especially characteristic. He is, above all, a dog of balance, both standing and moving, without exaggeration in any part, the whole worth more than the sum of its parts. Bred in England originally to hunt woodcock, hence the name, he is perfectly capable of working larger game such as pheasant & hare. The English Cocker is a big dog in a small package - strong for his size, compact, and very active in the field. These qualities make him an ideal dog for hunting in rough terrain and dense cover, often taller than the dog. To perform efficiently, he is notably compact and round in build, never rangy and narrow. He is a dog of power rather than speed. The emphasis placed on head properties set him apart from other spaniels and is an important component of the dog's job. The English Cocker is, above all, a dog of moderation rather than extremes; exaggeration of any characteristic will upset the balance of a compact, one-piece dog.
