They do have a rather distinct, with their long, hanging ears covered in curly fur and some characteristic patterns that you often see. I pulled the list I printed off the Kennel club sight 3 days ago so unless they have changed it again in the last 2 days since I spoke to the Breed council chocolate and tan was missing. For those seeking absolutely solid marking, patience and perseverance are the key to success and it is true to say that most solid coloured Cockers today meet this desired appearance. My chocolate and tan bitch has now come into season and I really don't know what to do with her this time. Their interest in all their animals was very deep and they acquired knowledge handed down from their forefathers adding to it throughout their own lives.

This requires the white hairs and colored hairs to be mixed among each other, and it results in a very unique look. Although I've never owned a black Cocker, I've heard from various black-coated owners that the black, glossy coats are much heavier and often need more grooming than any other colours.The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. In consideration of the gundog based evolution of the breed, the Breed Standard allows for a small show of white colour, but only on the chest of the non white varieties of solid colours.

Some people preferred a solid coloured dog because they felt it was better camouflaged when quartering game, which would then be more likely to "sit" steady until flushed by the dog at the command of his handler. From time to time certain conditions or exaggerations may be considered to have the potential to affect dogs in some breeds adversely, and judges and breeders are requested to refer to the Breed Watch information related to this breed for details of any such current issues.Generally, if you see adverts for Cocker puppies saying "all colours available" or listing quite a few different colours, I would suspect this is a dealer or commercial breeder. However, it is perfectly possible to get a range of colours in one litter so this is not necessarily the case.
