“Or is it because they are more prone to problem behaviours than many other breeds and paired with the fact they’ve become more popular is why my inbox is flooded with them.”

Whilst the canine behavioural specialist described the sight of a Cocker Spaniel enaging in “game-shooting”, he shared what makes the dogs so good at it.
But he warned that this could make them terrible pets for a home.
He continued: “I do believe that the majority of people choosing cocker spaniels are doing so just because of how adorable they look but that is never how you should choose your perfect breed.”
