terrific breeds of dog that you can choose from, but if you are interested in

all, whatever dog you do decide to get, they are hopefully going to live a long
life and so you definitely want to put in the time beforehand to make sure that
you are getting the right breed for you and your lifestyle.
Pros
There are
definitely quite a few great things about the black cocker spaniel breed of dog.
For one, they were originally bed to hunt birds, and so they are sporting dogs
and this means that they are very active and playful. They will want to be
outside a lot of the time and not cooped up indoors. Also with the black cocker
spaniel breed, they are very nice to look at. Of course personality is always
more important but at the same time, owners want to have a dog that they like to
look at, and which they think is suitable for their taste.
The black
cocker spaniel is just one of the different colors of cocker spaniel available
though, so you can get a cocker spaniel in another color if you find that you
really like the breed but just don’t want to get the dog in black. The black
cocker spaniel, only in a brown color, is in one of Walt Disney’s most popular
movies, the Lady and the Tramp, as the breed that Lady is.
This just goes
to show how popular the black cocker spaniel breed is and how many people love
them.
Another of the
features of the black cocker spaniel dog that so many people love is their fur.
They have this amazing, beautiful, silky coat that is short on the head and then
longer on the chest, stomach and legs, and the ears are very long and drape
around their face.
Cons
There are also
a few issues that are not so great which you may have to deal with if you decide
to get a black cocker spaniel. For one, they do need exercise quite often, and
so if you are indoors a lot of the time or just not home at all, then you may
want to think about getting a different breed of dog because the black cocker
spaniel just may not be right for you.
The black
cocker spaniel is prone to quite a few different physical problems, just as with
any other breed of dog, but again you are going to want to make sure that you
are aware of this before deciding on whether the black cocker spaniel is right
for you or not.
One of the
things that most black cocker spaniel owners complain about is that the dogs
tend to shed a lot, so if you don’t like having a lot of dog hair around your
home, then this breed of dog is probably not going to be right for you. They
also tend to have a distinctive odor from the skin and ears, have a problem with
barking a lot of the time, and they are usually very excitable and even dribble
urine sometimes when they are very happy or excited.
Another issue
that you are going to want to think about when it comes to the black cocker
spaniel is that they tend to suffer from separation anxiety a lot of the time.
If this is the case when you get your dog though, it is typically very easy to
deal with. You are just going to have to stop making such a big deal when you
leave to go anywhere, and you can also get a professional dog trainer to come in
and take care of the situation if you are not having any success on your own.
The black
cocker spaniel is certainly a great dog, and it is just a matter of you deciding
whether it is going to be the right one for you.
