Dwight is looking for a wonderful home because he owners added a new little addition to their home and don't have the time to care for Dwight like they want. He is a great dog and his owners had lots to say about him. Read about his personality below:
Dwight is primarily an indoor dog who loves to play with squeaky toys, chew on Nyla-type bones, play tug-of-war, go on little walks outside, is very affectionate, barks at strangers (he thinks of himself as our "watch dog"), and is good with children. He is a pleaser!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, Cocker Spaniels are cheerful, sweet, and sensitive. The Cocker Spaniel is respectful of its master's authority without much challenge. Merry and endearing. A happy tail-wagger. Gentle and trusting, with average intelligence. They are lively, playful and devoted. Cockers will do okay in an apartment if they are adequately exercised, and are fairly active indoors. A small yard is sufficient. The American Cocker Spaniel is smaller than the English Cocker Spaniel and has a different conformation. The name "Cocker" comes from the woodcock, a game bird these spaniels flushed particularly well. Today, the Cocker Spaniel serves primarily as a companion and glamorous show dog. It can also be used for hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdogging and agility. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
