Cocker Spaniel Characteristics

The Cocker Spaniel is eager to both work and hunt. They are trusting and respectful of their master. They love everyone and want people to be happy. If not socialised well, they may tend to be shy.

Cocker Spaniels are known for their sound, cheery temperament. They are great with children, elders, and other pets. They love to be close to their family but due to their hunting nature, will chase birds or other small animals when given the chance.

Cocker Spaniels tend to be barkers, so early training is required. They are easily trainable, though, excelling in obedience and agility competitions. They could be difficult to housetrain. Cocker Spaniels also make great therapy dogs. Harsh training methods do not work on them as they have a soft personality – they could become fearful if this type of training is used.

Cocker Spaniel Inherited Disease and Traits Testing Panels

We can offer the below tests for the Cocker Spaniel singularly or as packages or as included in the most comprehensive Panel “DogCheck 4.0”:

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) which is is a devastating degenerative disease of the spinal cord that can progress rapidly and cause weakness in the hind limbs and eventually paraplegia among genotypically affected dogs.
  • Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), dogs begin to exhibit leg weakness followed by a complete collapse after just 5 to 15 minutes of strenuous activity.
  • Hyperuricosuria, or elevated uric acid level in the urine, is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder and is characterized by the formation of bladder stones and occasional kidney stones.
  • PRA-prcd, which is inherited as an autosomal recessive disease. Degeneration of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina of PRA-prcd affected dogs usually occurs 3 to 5 years of age or later.

You can choose the best option for you by clicking below:

For the above tests, if done singularly or as packages, we offer the results in 7-10 working days from receipt of samples to the laboratory.

If they are all included in the most comprehensive test called “DogCheck 4.0“, the turnaround is 3-4 weeks from receipts of the samples to the laboratory. Please refer to the list below to see all the genes tested in this case.

NOTE: There is an extra cost of £45 to test the genes mentioned on the table as *xP as they are not included in the Dog Check 4.0 Report unless the extra fee has been paid at the checkout.

Dog Allergy Testing Kit Review
Hello Team, I would love to thank all involved in testing my dog allergies. Since that test she finally lives her life itch free as it enabled us to avoid products causing her allergic reaction. I am very grateful for this report as her health massively improved after we removed all listed products from her diet. Since that time I have been suggesting other dog owners which battle similar issue to use your service. 5* from Blue.

Dog Allergy Test Kit Review
We had our dog allergy tested with you last year. We were advised that it is not a good enough test by our vet and many others online. This however couldn't be more wrong. We used the results to remove foods from her diet and even hypo-allergenic shampoos etc. Since she turned 1 years old we had her allergy tested by blood at the vet to see if she had out grown any of these allergies. The results were exactly the same as we were given by yourselves. Everything in red she is still allergic to. Without your help I'm not sure how we would of been able to help her in her first year. Especially given that she is allergic to almost everything hypoallergenic.

Dog Allergy Testing Review
Please forward my praise to your superiors with regards to your customer attention - thank you for all the communication at all times, and making sure all OK. Much appreciated. 1 day into eliminating salmon oil from her diet (daily supplement I was giving her for for her arthritis) and the turkey menus she is considerably better, all in 24 hrs. Can’t wait to see how she improves within a few weeks of elimination.
