Description
Dog Breed: Cocker Spaniel. A perfect pairing to any home is our newest cocker, Shiraz! This gentle boy is 5 years old and 38 pounds. He could use to lose a few pounds. HaHaHa. He LOVES to play with toys and squeak, squeak, squeak them! It is so cute. Shiraz loves chasing the ball in his foster's fenced back yard. Check him out here! He is house trained, rides quietly in the car and walks pretty good on the leash. Shiraz was an owner surrender with terribly infected ears that we've treated, and he is doing great now. He will need an adopter who will continue to provide routine ear cleaning to keep his ears feeling their best. Shiraz easily takes daily, inexpensive medication for his hypothyroidism. We do not know about children and recommend only dog-savvy older children for Shiraz. To learn more about adopting Shiraz, please email adoptmecockerspanielrescue. He is fostered in Vienna, VA.

Overview:
The Cocker Spaniel, a beloved breed with roots in the United Kingdom, was originally bred as a gundog to flush out woodcock. They are instantly recognizable by their medium size, typically weighing 20-30 pounds, their luxurious, often wavy coat (which comes in a variety of colors), and their long, expressive ears that frame their gentle, eager-to-please eyes. Known for their merry and affectionate temperament, Cockers are generally good-natured, intelligent, and relatively easy to train, making them an excellent choice for families with children and even first-time dog owners. While adaptable, their moderate exercise needs can be met with daily walks and playtime, making them suitable for apartment living as long as they receive sufficient mental and physical stimulation. Prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including ear infections (due to their long ears), eye conditions like cataracts, and hip dysplasia, which highlight the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups.
