| Abstract | Engleski koker španijel najpopularniji je i jedan od najstarijih španijela. Spada u VIII. FCI skupinu – Retriveri (donasači), dizači divljači (šunjkavci), psi za vodu. Iako je lovački pas, često je i kućni ljubimac. Živahan je, snažan i ima jak kostur. Visina kod mužjaka od 39 do 40 cm, a u ženke od 38 do 39 cm. Ne smije biti viči od 41 cm. Uške su mu vrlo dugačke i prekrivene mekanom dlakom. Najčešće je crne ili smeđe boje. Jednobojan može imati bijele oznake na grudima. Ima ih i žute, narančastih i crvenih boja. Mogu biti i šareni, dvobojni i trobojni. Okretan je, pametan, vjeran i odan. Posebna mu je odlika živahan temperament. Neumorno radi u lovu, pronalazi, hvata i donosi pernatu ili dlakavu divljač, bez obzira je li je mrtva ili ranjena i sposobna bježati. Mora proći posebnu obuku da bi ostao u radu na domet puške. Za dizače se priređuju utakmice, kao i za sve druge lovačke pse. Posebno se ispituju mladi, a i stariji psi na utakmicama na kojima se ispituju samo urođena svojstva, dok se za izvježbane pse priređuje svestrana utakmica, na kojoj pas mora pokazati da je uistinu svestrano upotrebljiv za sitnu i krupnu divljač. Njega pasa se sastoji u čišćenju njegove kože i dlake, kupanju, uočavanju eventualnih ozljeda, čišćenju ušiju i očiju, odsijecanju noktiju i skidanju zubnog kamenca. Budući da naginje debljanju, treba ga pažljivo hraniti; dnevno 200 do 250 g mesa, 60 do 80 g riže te kuhanog povrća. Njegova dlaka traži često četkanje, a osjetljive oči i uši zahtijevaju dobru njegu da ne dođe do upale i da se ne nastane krpelji i nakupe trave |
