The English Cocker Spaniel has superb skills in hunting woodcock, so it emerged in the dog world and formed an independent Cocker Spaniel bloodline. The English Cocker Spaniel is the oldest type of Cocker Spaniel.

The English Cocker Spaniel comes from the Spanish hound family, which is highly diverse in size, type, coat color and hunting ability. It is one of the oldest known land hounds. The recorded history of the modern Cocker Spaniel began with the birth of the first English Cocker Spaniel, Obo, on June 14, 1879. The dog was first exhibited at a dog show four years later. In the early 19th century, it was valued as a companion dog by the whole world, and was even more popular in Europe and the United States. The dog club was established in the UK in 1902.

Before the 17th century, this type of dog was called a hound regardless of its size, length, or pace. The significant difference in size and different uses in hunting began to gradually attract the attention of hunters. The larger dogs could quickly drive away prey while the smaller ones could be used to hunt woodcocks, so there were the names of Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels or woodcock hounds. In 1892, the British Kennel Club finally recognized them as two independent breeds. This Cocker Spaniel is the English Cocker Spaniel. It should be known that for a period of time before and after the official recognition of Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels as independent breeds in the UK, they were kept in the same kennel. The difference in size made them each independent breeds, but they had the same genetics, the same coat color, the same hunting skills and the same external appearance. Cocker Spaniels and Springer Spaniels developed at the same time. It is precisely because the English Cocker Spaniel naturally contains the genetic characteristics of the Springer Spaniel that it eventually became the most exquisite beagle.
