Description:
Joey is a beautiful pure bred blonde Cocker Spaniel. We rescued him from a kill shelter. Fortunately he is heart worm negative and ready for a forever home. We recommend that he go to a home without children. Cocker Spaniels are notorious for not being fond of kids and we are fairly certain that he was in an adult-only home. Well, who needs kids when you have a love muffin like Joey?
***Are you familiar with the Cocker Spaniel? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, they 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.
