Cocker spaniel dogs are suitable for city, suburban or rural life. In the US, this breed is known by the AKC [American Kennel Club], as the "Cocker Spaniel". Outside the US, it is often referred to as the American Cocker Spaniel. The creation of the English Cocker Spaniel triggered the breed split in the 1930s.

The name cocker is originated from their use to hunt woodcock in England, but today this breed is used to hunt a variety of upland gamebirds and water fowl, or as show or companion dogs

Cocker Spaniels have dropped ears, and often the fur is often trimmed into a "puppy cut," shortened on the legs, sides and belly, for easier maintenance. It is important to keep the hair clipped from both sides of the ear about one third down the ear flap to keep air flowing through the ear canal and reduce risk of ear infections.
