Here is so information on Cocker Spaniels for ya:
The Cocker could not have become the top dog in the US unless it had a good temperament. A well-bred Cocker is sweet, loyal, cheerful, playful, trustworthy, easily trained, adaptable -- all those things most sought after in a family pet. It needs a moderate amount of exercise and will get pudgy if allowed to be a complete couch potato. Its sensitivity may be its only drawback, for discipline must be gentle or the Cocker may wilt. However, the popularity of the breed has almost been its downfall: Puppy mills and backyard breeders have flooded the market with poorly-bred specimens that are yappy, snappy, nervous, high-strung dogs that are difficult to train and handle.
Puppy mill Cockers can be found in pet stores. These puppies are produced solely because they sell. There's no concern for genetic diseases prevalent in the breed, no concern for socialization so necessary for development of that sweet demeanor, no concern for careful selection of pedigrees and parents to produce a litter. They frequently cost the same as a well-bred puppy from a responsible breeder.
Backyard breeders of Cockers frequently know little or nothing about the breed and are ill-equipped to even know whether Cookie or Buffy is a good specimen of the breed, let alone properly select a mate for her. They produce puppies to put a few extra dollars in their pockets, to give the kids the thrill of seeing puppies born, or to produce another dog "just like Mandy." Better that they should find another way of making money, show the kids some pictures of birth, and buy a puppy from a responsible breeder.

Best of luck! A dog is a wonderful companion!!!

You should get one. my sister and I got my parents one and she is the cutest dog I know. But she was harder than other dogs to housebreak. I don't know if that's her breed or just her though.
