English Cocker Spaniel
Originally from Spain, the ancestors of the English Cocker Spaniel were taken to England hundreds of years ago. This dog was used as a companion to men hunting birds and other small game. The word 'cocker' refers to the dog's hunting of woodcocks and it excelled at flushing game from heavy cover. The Spaniel was only separated from the American Cocker Spaniel in the 19th century.
