Description
Dog Breed: Cocker Spaniel. Hi there, my name is Dolly and I am a four-year-old cocker spaniel girl. Up until now my life kind of sucked being a working mom doing 9 to 5 as a puppy mill breeding dog. I was super happy to retire from there and go hang out at this new house with lots of kids, a dog and two big people who won me over by feeding me rotisserie chicken! After some much needed TLC and a really nice grooming session, I look like a million bucks and my feet feel like brand new. I sleep on the main floor in my kennel at night just fine as there's a big comfy blanket in there that keeps me happy. I have been good about not pooping or peeing in the house and go down into the backyard to do my business every 4 to 6 hours. My foster house has three kids in it that I really like as long as they aren't running around like crazy people screaming. I let everybody pet me and I'm happy to take rotisserie chicken from anybody who offers it. I like the other dog in my house and I like to follow him around the backyard. I eat a cup of dry food twice a day and, so far, I've been living the good life ever since I got here. I would do best in a house with another like-minded dog who enjoys a comfy couch and a person to lay beside that would scratch my head and ears. I do pretty good on leash even though I have never been on one until about a week ago. So, I do need a little bit of work there, but I don't bark and I don't whine. My foster house has never heard me make a peep other than to lightly growl at my foster brother when he tries to take too much of my mom's time and lap space, but it was all talk and I've stopped doing that now and enjoy my foster brother dog. So, if you're looking for a chill, quiet, couch potato for a pet that just wants to snuggle, then I'm your girl!!!! *located in Aurora

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.
