Published: by Mary Clark · This post may contain affiliate links

Are you a Cocker Spaniel parent, or have you just recently gotten yourself one? While they are the most cheerful and cuddly companion, you'll ever have, but just like any other dog, they come with potential issues too!

We hate to say this, but some things make Cocker Spaniels concerning and should be taken seriously. So what are we talking about? Here are 14 reasons why.

#1 They have a crazy tennis ball obsession.

#3 Cuteness. Seriously, if I take them out in public I have to plan on being stopped no matter where we go.

#4 He has better hair than me… , with most people I know! Look at that shiny coat!

#5 They match your energy. The dogs are just as happy napping as they are going for a run.

#7 Grooming.

They need to be taken to the groomer to get a clip once in a while. Also they tend to get burs and such stuck in their coat if you aren't careful.

#8 The high energy can make training sort of hard.
