The breed's name comes from its original function, as they were used to hunt woodcock. The breed was not recognised as a separate variety until 1893 and until that time all the spaniels, collectively known as Land Spaniels, were bred together and later classified depending on size and colour. They were selectively bred for suitability for their work and for the terrain. It was a requirement that a Cocker Spaniel should simply be under 25 lbs in weight.
Our mission is to eat all the lovely sticks we find on our walks. They are sooooooo tasty.
