Do Cocker Spaniels like water?

Yes, Cocker Spaniels enjoy being around water and often display a natural affinity for swimming (we don’t call it “dog-paddling” for nothing). As with any particular characteristic, each dog is different. Some Cocker Spaniels may be hesitant or cautious around water, while others will be eager to jump in and take a swim. Introduce your Cocker Spaniel to water gradually and in a safe environment to see how they react.
