American Cockers are very popular as family dogs. Hunting strains produce first- class field dogs used for hunting pheasants and other small game. larity in this country and today it stands close to the top in numbers registered among dogs of all breeds. The companionable nature and merry actions of the Cocker, which make it a popular family dog, have to some extent overshadowed its real merit as a hunter. A. M. Lewis (Becker 1947?>) points out that emphasis on bench show points in recent years has made it difficult to obtain Cockers with good field breeding. The Cocker that is to be a hunter must be selected with care. The attention of a number of breeders is again being turned to the inherent hunting abilities of this breed. The American Cocker is a wide-awake, intelligent, service- able-looking little dog having a rather short, tirmly knit, muscu- lar body, a deep chest, and strong, well-muscled legs. It possesses a naturally keen nose and under proper training is quick to learn what is required in the field. Perhaps as a natural outgrowth of its small size, the Cocker is often temperamental and is one of the most sensitive of bird dogs. This characteristic calls for understanding on the part of the trainer who should, at all times.Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
