American Cocker Spaniel Breeders: Cocker Spaniels belong to a breed of hound dogs that were scientifically developed in Europe, in the 14th century. Spaniels were initially light in color and derived their names from regions where they were first spotted. The border of Spain and France is considered to be the true motherland of Spaniels. In their early years, they were also called ‘Spanielles’ or ‘Spanyellys’. Spaniels were of two sizes and the smaller one was best suited for hunting because their physical stature allowed them to make their way through bush and shrub that was inaccessible by the larger Spaniels. Breeding Cockers for conformation and show brought about some changes in their appearances. This development earned the disapproval of the dedicated Cocker Spaniel enthusiasts. The inclination to preserve the original English Cocker Spaniel resulted in the foundation of the English Cocker Spaniel Club of America, in 1936.This also led to the recognition of two distinct breeds, the American and the English Cocker Spaniel. Despite the rivalry between the two breeds, each has a place of its own. Dedicated breeders and owners value both the breeds and their individual qualities.
