The Breed standard defines the desired characteristics of a breed. The English Cocker Spaniel Illustrated Breed Standard. As the English Cocker is still a comparatively rare breed in the United States, you may not find precisely the dog you have in mind at a given time, with respect to color, age, sex and convenience of location. These individuals are located across the U.S. and may be contacted through their e-mail address. Tan marking occur on most of these color combinations.
Blue roan is generally the most popular color.
ECS fanciers love the variety of colors found in their breed. It is prefered that parti-colors be clearly marked, ticked or roaned. White feet on a solid colored dog is undesirable, but a little white on the throat is acceptable. Black and tans and liver and tans are considered solid colors. If you are unsure about what color designation to place on the blue slip for AKC registration purposes, please check the list of colors and registration numbers .
