Description:
Beck is an exquist blonde Cocker Spaniel. His fur is so light it borders on white. He is amazingly sweet and has none of the snappiness that sometimes shows up in this breed. We wonder how a delightful dog like this ends up at animal control, but such was the case for him. Because he was heartworm positive, Mary Beth called Judy and asked if we could rescue him ~ her budget does not allow her to provide medical treatment of this type. Well, one look at these eyes and we were a gonner! Now neutered and treated for heartworms, Beck is excited about finding his forever home!

***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.
