The head is round, but not exaggerated or flat. The ears are long, leaf-shaped, well-feathered, and well feathered. The eyes are round and full, looking directly forward. The eyelids are almond-shaped. The eye color is dark brown, and the darker the better.

The back is strong and even. The front legs are erect, with elbows not abducted, and the thighs of the hind legs are muscular and have long feathers, but they do not restrict movement at all.

Originated from the United States

The American Cocker Spaniel originated from the American Cocker Spaniel in the 19th century. It is a breed bred in the United States in the last century. It was brought from Spain to Britain in the early 10th century and became a British breed. It was then brought to the United States for large-scale breeding and improvement, becoming a smaller and more beautiful dog and called the American Cocker Spaniel. The American Cocker Spaniel is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Compared with the British Cocker Spaniel, the American Cocker Spaniel has an American yuppie flavor.

In the late 1870s, American enthusiasts began importing English Cocker Spaniels to the United States. A liver and white Cocker Spaniel named "Captain" was registered in the first stud book of the American National Kennel Club (later AKC). The second stud book, printed in 1885, registered a black Cocker Spaniel named "Brush II". This dog was imported from England by the Cummins Cocker Spaniel Kennel in New Hampshire. It was also around this time, in 1881, that Clinton Wilmerding and James Watson founded the American Spaniel Club, the oldest club in the country, which initially included breeders of spaniels of all types. Eventually, however, as spaniels of all types became more differentiated, they split into separate organizations.

The Cocker Spaniel quickly gained popularity with the public and breeders. At that time, some breeders began to favor the Cocker Spaniel, which was smaller and slightly different in structure than the English Cocker Spaniel. This small Cocker Spaniel was particularly eye-catching at dog shows and was considered the American type of Cocker Spaniel. In 1936, a group of English Cocker Spaniel breeders founded the English Cocker Spaniel Club of America and received recognition from the AKC for the English Cocker Spaniel. Two years later, in order to strengthen its influence, the club passed a measure that English Cocker Spaniels could not mate with American Cocker Spaniels. They also opposed showing American Cocker Spaniels in the English Cocker Spaniel category.

In 1940, American Cocker Spaniel CH My Own Brucie won the BIS at the Westminster Dog Show and won the championship the following year. In the more than 100-year history of Westminster, there are three dogs that have won the BIS for two consecutive times, and Brucie is one of them. At Westminster in 1941, Brucie's breeder loosened the leash when he entered the ring. He walked proudly beside his owner and wagged his tail. So this black American Cocker Spaniel named Brucie instantly captured the hearts of the American public. People loved Brucie so much that when he died, the New York Times published an obituary that called him the most photogenic dog in the world. Brucie's success at the dog show led to a surge in the popularity of Cocker Spaniels. To this day, the American Cocker Spaniel is still the most popular dog breed among popular dogs in the United States.

American Cocker Spaniels are lively and smart, but they love to cause damage, especially to sofa corners, chair legs, wall skins, etc. Because their ears are too long, they need to be cared for frequently, and they have a strong body odor and shed hair.
