Amerikansk cocker spaniel, American cocker, Amerikancockerspanieli
The American Cocker Spaniel originated in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, developed from the English Cocker Spaniel to create a smaller, more compact gun dog suited for hunting woodcock. It was bred for agility, keen scenting ability, and a gentle temperament, and has since become a popular companion and show dog.
