 THE COCKER SPANIEL

       ''Some people say that Cocker Spaniels are so called because they were first used in hunting woodcocks, and the breed is still favorite with sportsmen. Due to their adaptibility and merry dispositions, Cockers are also very popular as pets and companions. These dogs are the smallest of the sporting spaniels. They tale naturally to sport and are excellent retrievers - alert, intelligent, and easily trained. Colors are red, black, liver, and cream, also parti-colors with white. The coat is silky in texture and may be either flat or wavy, feathering out on legs, chest and feet. Weight should be between 18 and 24 pounds.'' Cook
