Cocker Spaniel Puppies for Sale in Indiana

Personality
The Cocker Spaniel is an affectionate, lively, and faithful dog to its family. It is a great dog around children and other family members if they have been socialized well as puppies; otherwise, it can be too shy and retiring. They are very easy to train and will get along with other pets and animals.

Exercise Needs
The Cocker Spaniel is not a high-energy breed but it is still energetic with a healthy dose of stamina. Owners need to take it on daily walks or exercise it in the yard or garden to keep the Cocker Spaniel fit. Since it was originally bred to work, make sure to go on long walks as well to give it some backyard tasks.

Living Conditions
