COCKALIERS
What They’re Like to Live With:
Cockaliers deliver the sturdiness and
intelligence of a hunting dog combined
with the sensitivity and sweetness of a
household pet. An active dog in the
house, it will keep busy playing with
toys, exploring and goofing around
with family members. Cockaliers are
people-oriented pups. They crave
attention, but they also have the
Cocker Spaniel’s self-sufficiency.
Cockaliers get along with everybody—
cats and other pets included—but they
should be socialized at an early age to
avoid developing "only-dog
syndrome." Cockaliers are patient and
lighthearted playmates for children,
and they can be rather welcoming when
guests come to call. Some Cockaliers
can be a little reserved with new people,
but they quickly warm up.
Things You Should Know:
The Cockalier can live as long as 14
years. Because it is a hybrid, few
genetic health issues have been
documented. But it's still important to
inspect the Cockalier's ears, feet and
eyes for signs of infection, and schedule
regular health visits based on a
veterinarian’s advice.
The Cockalier is a great apartment dog,
but it won't turn up its nose at a farm or
country house. It still retains some of
its hunting and exploring instincts, so if
you can grant it some time in the
outdoors it will have a blast. Either
way, the Cockalier needs a good daily
walk and lots of family time. It
shouldn't be left alone for long
stretches.
History:
A cross between the Cocker Spaniel and
the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the
Cockalier was introduced along with
several dozen "hybrid" dogs that
became popular for being
hypoallergenic and (supposedly)
healthier than many purebred canines.
Some breeders believe the Cockalier's
balanced personality and good health
come from "hybrid vigor," which is
when a healthier dog results from the
crossing of two purebreds.
The Look of the Cockalier:
Because the breed derives from two
purebreds, the Cockalier look can vary
from dog to dog. But if you look
carefully, the Cockalier is easy to
identify: It has the sturdiness of the
Cocker Spaniel and the gracefulness of
the Cavalier King Charles. The
Cockalier has a small to medium-sized
frame (depending on the size of its
parents) and a rounded head with long,
well-feathered ears that hang low. It has
adorable "puppy-dog" eyes and a dark
nose. The Cockalier’s well-plumed tail
is usually carried horizontal or high.
