I have to say; OH MY GOD! What an awful picture to represent the beautiful dog breed Am. Cocker Spaniel. It's a shame!!!
- Someone just needs to take a photo of one and upload it. I can't say that I disagree with you. Elf | Talk 01:54, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Article now has some nice and licenced pictures, removing reqeust. -Dr Haggis - Talk 03:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] famous cockers
Just removed this:
- Ruby, Ch. Pett's Southwest Breeze was the first Cocker Spaniel in history to be awarded the American Kennel Club's Master Hunter title.
I can't see as how this is more famous than, say, the first cocker to be awarded any other org's master hunter (or equivalent) title, or the first cocker to be awarded an agility championship in any of several organizations, or the first to be awarded an obedience championship in any of several organizations, etc. It seems to me that this dog isn't likely to be recognized as "famous" outside the AKC hunt community other than that someone has done a good job of self-promotion and gotten the dog listed on all kinds of cocker sites...

[edit] Puppy photo
Removed this photo from main article because it really needs cropping at least and its pose isn't all that educational, although the coat is different from others currently posted. Elf | Talk 01:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Looks like that photo is back, I put a photo request on this talk page because I saw the puppy photo, than looked at the history and relised that there was a good photo there. So in short, my apologies for clogging up this page history. Oh yes, and I'm removing that photo (again). Pharaoh Hound 11:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the adult photo is a better representation of the breed for an infobox. Removed puppy again. --Bcsr4ever 22:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Removed again. Looks like User:Funkymint insists on using his or her own dog photo.--Counsel 02:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Photo is still there. This puppy photo shows a cavalier king charles spaniel, not an american cocker which is the breed this article is all about. august 28'th 2007
[edit] "Cockeranian"
Seems like extraneous material. The need to know a Pomeranian/American Cocker Spaniel cross seems superfluous. Unless the article will have a section dedicated to crosses, I thought it should be removed.--Anonymous 4:58 (EDT), 29 August 2007
[edit] "The Hit Movie Underdog"
I disagree with the term "hit movie." That feature did poorly in the box office and should have been "Direct to Video." I deleted out the term "hit" as it didn't seem subjective.--Anonymous 5:01 (EDT), 29 August 2007
