Cocker Spaniel Calendar
A Cocker Spaniel calendar can be found in a bookstore or at a website devoted to the breed. Since the Cocker Spaniel is a very popular breed, it’s not difficult to find information on the breed and many pictures of the best representatives of champion bloodlines. Though cute and fluffy, these dogs are popular not only because of their appearance, but also because of their easy-going personality. Most dogs of this breed are friendly, kind-natured, communicative, and playful. They make loving companions for people of all walks of life.
Many photos in a Cocker Spaniel calendar are so attractive that they encourage people to obtain a pet of this breed. The popularity of the breed is always a double-sided coin. Many profit-oriented backyard breeders produce puppies of a popular breed to gain the maximum profit possible. They don’t care much about improving the breed and offer sickly or defective puppies for sale. Perspective buyers who know little on the breed buy poor quality puppies and often get disappointed with the breed in general.
A responsible and devoted breeder will never attract buyers by means of a Cocker Spaniel calendar with funny pictures. True breed enthusiasts produce puppies because they like the breed and want to preserve its best characteristics and get rid of possible faults. They screen the breeding stock for all possible disorders and choose only the best sires and dams for breeding. Responsible breeders never produce pet quality dogs on purpose. Their aim is producing show or breeder quality dogs, but pet quality puppies with minor faults can occur in every litter.
Show quality Cocker Spaniel puppies from responsible breeders are healthy, stable, and bred correspondingly to the breed standard. They need knowledgeable and responsible owners to be happy and healthy throughout their lives. Like all Sporting dogs, Cocker Spaniels should be given early obedience training and enough daily exercise. A Cocker Spaniel cannot be left alone for a long time. Showing a dog takes much time, efforts, and money. It’s not easy to prepare a dog to conformation shows and make it look like pictures in a Cocker Spaniel calendar.
