The origin of the Crested Cocker can be traced back to 1890 when the English Shorthair, the English Springer Spaniel, the Field Spaniel, and the Setter were crossed to create a sporting spaniel that possessed the looks, temperament, and field abilities of the Setter, but with the affectionate nature of the shorterhaired spaniel. The progeny of the initial crosses came to be known as the “Short-,” “Field-,” or “Water-Cocker” in reference to the varieties of the original parent breeds. The “Crest” or “Roll” marks which give this breed its name are a small patch on the chest and/or neck. The height for males is 25 to 27 inches and for females is 23 to 25 inches.
