What spaniels are like to live with

This guide covers Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels and other spaniels, including crosses such as Sprockers. The Royal Kennel Club calls the Cocker a "popular family pet and gundog first bred to hunt woodcock", and says it earned the name "the merry cocker" for its ever-wagging tail. It describes the English Springer as "the most popular of the spaniels for working in the field", and says Springers got their name from "springing" forward to flush game.
