Cocker Spaniels - Pictures - Breed Promotion

Cocker Spaniels are a wonderful breed. It is known for its amiable personality, relatively easy upkeep, and good looks. However, not everybody can own the breed due to objective reasons. It does not stop Cocker lovers from being actively involved in the breed. Rescue work, educating the public about the breed and responsible ownership, research work, and some others are among activities that promote the Cocker Spaniel breed.

Rescue is probably one of the hardest, yet rewarding activities. Humans who do care about lost and abandoned Cockers try to find loving homes for poor creatures. Cockers can be taken to foster homes before they find their new owner. You can be the one who helps re-socialize a dog and provide it with the attention and love it longs for. Contact a local rescue for more information on how to become a rescue member.

Gathering data concerning Cockers health condition also promotes the breed through improvement. Cocker breeders and owners can enter their dog's information in specialty databases.

Such databases usually contain information on stud dogs and brood bitches, and allow potential breeders to make the best choice of parent dogs, which is surely the right road on the way to high quality litters. Most countries do have some sort of resource, which helps to narrow or broaden the search depending on a breeder's wish to produce Cocker puppies from native or foreign breeding lines.

Another type of database, used to improve the breed, is a collection of various researchers dealing with this or that disease commonly seen in the breed. They are usually authorized by breed clubs and have no information as to a Cocker's pedigree, age, or country its owner resides in. The data is managed on an anonymous basis and is aimed at giving veterinarians a complete picture of the breed's health, allowing them to find ways to improve the health of Cocker Spaniels.
