Description:
Tommy is a pure bred AKC Cocker Spaniel. He has lived with and been loved by a wonderful family who was forced to give him up by their home owner's association (they knew he'd have a better chance of finding a home than their 10 year old lab or blind spaniel). We have promised them that we will find him the right home, the home that will love him and care for him like he deserves. They say that he is very endearing and loves toys. He likes to retrieve balls when you throw them for him. He has lived with dogs and children, but has never been around cats. He pulls when he goes for walks as his owners used a harness on him. We will be true to our promise and make sure that he is adopted by a family that will love him forever!

***Are you familiar with the Cocker Spaniel? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, they are cheerful, sweet, and sensitive. The Cocker Spaniel is respectful of its master's authority without much challenge. Merry and endearing. A happy tail-wagger. Gentle and trusting, with average intelligence. They are lively, playful and devoted. Cockers will do okay in an apartment if they are adequately exercised, and are fairly active indoors. A small yard is sufficient. The American Cocker Spaniel is smaller than the English Cocker Spaniel and has a different conformation. The name "Cocker" comes from the woodcock, a game bird these spaniels flushed particularly well. Today, the Cocker Spaniel serves primarily as a companion and glamorous show dog. It can also be used for hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdogging and agility. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
