Handled with tenderness and respect, he makes a willing learner.

Special attention should be paid to the hair on the legs and ears. It may be necessary to take the dog to a grooming professional two - four times a year to have excess hair trimmed or plucked. The ears should be cleaned regularly.<br /><br /><strong>Training:</strong> This breed is naturally willing to learn and quickly understands what is expected of it. A great deal of understanding and consistency during training is necessary as it may try to take over your role.<br /><br /><strong>Activity:</strong> Three walks a day are usually enough to keep them happy, but they also need to have regular opportunities to run freely in the countryside. Most really enjoy swimming.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8977510767643055132-6127247581918372436?l=englishcockerspaniel.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Luvellnoreply@blogger.com
