We are often asked what the difference is between Cocker Spaniels and Springer Spaniels. To quote Keith Erlandson: "The Springer is like a great foot soldier, he will do what he is told to do by his commander. The Cocker is more like a sharp shooter, he thinks he is smarter than his boss and can do a better job by himself!"
..... I believe that, once trained, you can instruct a Springer, but you need to let a Cocker think that she thought of the idea first! - but both breeds need careful, kind guidance in training!
