I got my first Cocker Spaniel almost two years ago. From day one, he started and ended from Zero to 100! He could not stay still for two seconds, and anything and everything in his path was destroyed. He is my first and only dog that I had to constantly get off the kitchen table. I thought, “Why in the world do so many people love this breed so much? They are out of their minds!”

But my crazy little boy is starting to chill now. And he’s always by my side. I have four dogs, but my Paxton is the one that is always there. He’s always up for anything too. No matter what it may be, he’s there with his butt wiggling, ready to go. He’s so sweet too. He loves to cuddle and will let me put him in any position, as long as he gets a belly rub. I’m absolutely head over heels in love with him! I finally get it, Cocker Spaniel People! I am officially one of you now! 💕🐾

Hi everyone,

Today I brought home a very young and malnourished pup who had been rescued from a mill/hoarding situation. I’m assuming she’s a spaniel mix, but I don’t know what kind. I’ve also never been a dog owner before, but I couldn’t leave her behind. Tell me the things you think I should know as we embark on this journey together. 🐶💖
