| Chloe, An American Cocker Spaniel. |
With the 2012 Summer Olympics taking place in Great Britain, it’s only appropriate that we take a look across the pond and examine the distinctly different, but similar breeds of the American Cocker Spaniel versus the English Cocker Spaniel.
Chloe is a purebred “American Cocker Spaniel” with specific features that separate her from her English cousin.
SIZE | Chloe is slightly smaller in stature than the English version.
EYES | Chloe’s eyes are larger and more rounded, and tend to have a straight-ahead look while the English Spaniel has full but not prominent eyes.
HEAD | Chloe’s head is dome shaped with a pronounced stop, or shorter muzzle, and has more clearly defined eyebrows. An English Spaniel has a longer square shaped muzzle.
HEAD | Chloe’s head is dome shaped with a pronounced stop, or shorter muzzle, and has more clearly defined eyebrows. An English Spaniel has a longer square shaped muzzle.
EARS | Both breeds have ears that are handsomely long with fur that is well feathered at the edges. These long lobular ear shapes are the trademark of the Cocker Spaniel.
BODY | Chloe’s body is more sculptured where her back slopes downward from the shoulder line. The English version portraits a strong, but more compact body shape. The length of Chloe’s coat is also distinctively longer and fuller.
TAIL | Chloe’s tail is docked and sits higher on the body which gives her a shape that is well proportioned and balanced. The tail of the English Spaniel is positioned lower on the body.
