English Cocker Spaniel puppies for sale in Saskatchewan

Breed history

The English Cocker Spaniel originated in the UK as a versatile hunting dog, bred to flush and retrieve game birds, especially woodcock, which inspired its name. Initially grouped with other land spaniels, it was later recognized as a distinct breed from the American Cocker Spaniel due to differences in build and purpose. Known for its stamina, keen nose, and cheerful personality, the English Cocker became popular both in the field and as a family companion. Today, the breed exists in two lines: field-bred for hunting and show-bred for appearance and companionship.
