Gen\u00ader\u00adal Appear\u00adance:<\/span><\/strong>
The Cock\u00ader Spaniel is the small\u00adest mem\u00adber of the Sport\u00ading Group. He has a stur\u00addy, com\u00adpact body and a clean\u00adly chis\u00adeled and refined head, with the over\u00adall dog incom\u00adplete bal\u00adance and of ide\u00adal size. He stands well up at the shoul\u00adder on straight forelegs with a topline slop\u00ading slight\u00adly toward strong, mod\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly bent, mus\u00adcu\u00adlar quar\u00adters. He is a dog capa\u00adble of con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adable speed, com\u00adbined with great endurance. Above all, he must be free and mer\u00adry, sound, well bal\u00adanced through\u00adout and in action show a keen incli\u00adna\u00adtion to work. A dog well\u00adbal\u00adanced in all parts is more desir\u00adable than a dog with strong\u00adly con\u00adtrast\u00ading good points and faults.<\/p>

Size, Pro\u00adpor\u00adtion, Sub\u00adstance:<\/span>
<\/strong>Size<\/span> \u2014 The ide\u00adal height at the with\u00aders for an adult dog is 15 inch\u00ades and for an adult bitch, 14 inch\u00ades. Height may vary one-half inch above or below this ide\u00adal. A dog whose height exceeds 15\u00bd inch\u00ades or a bitch whose height exceeds 14\u00bd inch\u00ades shall be dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfied. An adult dog whose height is less than 14\u00bd inch\u00ades and an adult bitch whose height is less than 13\u00bd inch\u00ades shall be penal\u00adized. Height is deter\u00admined by a line per\u00adpen\u00addic\u00adu\u00adlar to the ground from the top of the shoul\u00adder blades, the dog stand\u00ading nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly with its forelegs and low\u00ader hind legs par\u00adal\u00adlel to the line of mea\u00adsure\u00adment.
Pro\u00adpor\u00adtion <\/span>- The mea\u00adsure\u00adment from the breast bone to back of thigh is slight\u00adly longer than the mea\u00adsure\u00adment from the high\u00adest point of with\u00aders to the ground. The body must be of suf\u00adfi\u00adcient length to per\u00admit a straight and free stride; the dog nev\u00ader appears long and low.<\/p>

Head:<\/span> <\/strong>To attain a well-pro\u00adpor\u00adtioned head, which must be in bal\u00adance with the rest of the dog, it embod\u00adies the fol\u00adlow\u00ading:
Expres\u00adsion<\/span> \u2014 The expres\u00adsion is intel\u00adli\u00adgent, alert, soft and appeal\u00ading.
Eyes<\/span> \u2014 Eye\u00adballs are round and full and look direct\u00adly for\u00adward. The shape of the eye rims gives a slight\u00adly almond shaped appear\u00adance; the eye is not weak or gog\u00adgled. The col\u00ador of the iris is dark brown and in gen\u00ader\u00adal the dark\u00ader the bet\u00adter. Dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions: Eye(s) blue, blue mar\u00adbled, blue flecked.
Ears<\/span> \u2014 Lob\u00adu\u00adlar, long, of fine leather, well feath\u00adered, and placed no high\u00ader than a line to the low\u00ader part of the eye.
Skull<\/span> \u2014 Round\u00aded but not exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded with no ten\u00adden\u00adcy toward flat\u00adness; the eye\u00adbrows are clear\u00adly defined with a pro\u00adnounced stop. The bony struc\u00adture beneath the eyes is well chis\u00adeled with no promi\u00adnence in the cheeks. The muz\u00adzle is broad and deep, with square even jaws. To be in cor\u00adrect bal\u00adance, the dis\u00adtance from the stop to the tip of the nose is one half the dis\u00adtance from the stop up over the crown to the base of the skull.
Nose<\/span> \u2014 of suf\u00adfi\u00adcient size to bal\u00adance the muz\u00adzle and foreface, with well devel\u00adoped nos\u00adtrils typ\u00adi\u00adcal of a sport\u00ading dog. It is black in col\u00ador in the blacks, black and tans, and black and whites; in oth\u00ader col\u00adors it may be brown, liv\u00ader or black, the dark\u00ader the bet\u00adter. The col\u00ador of nose har\u00admo\u00adnizes with the col\u00ador of the eye rim.
Lips<\/span> \u2014 The upper lip is full and of suf\u00adfi\u00adcient depth to cov\u00ader the low\u00ader jaw.
Teeth<\/span> \u2014 Teeth strong and sound, not too small and meet in a scis\u00adsors bite.<\/p>

Neck, Topline, Body:<\/span> <\/strong>
Neck<\/span> \u2014 The neck is suf\u00adfi\u00adcient\u00adly long to allow the nose to reach the ground eas\u00adi\u00adly, mus\u00adcu\u00adlar and free from pen\u00addu\u00adlous \"throat\u00adi\u00adness.\" It ris\u00ades strong\u00adly from the shoul\u00adders and arch\u00ades slight\u00adly as it tapers to join the head.
Topline<\/span> \u2014 slop\u00ading slight\u00adly toward mus\u00adcu\u00adlar quar\u00adters.
Body<\/span> \u2014 The chest is deep, its low\u00adest point no high\u00ader than the elbows, its front suf\u00adfi\u00adcient\u00adly wide for ade\u00adquate heart and lung space, yet not so wide as to inter\u00adfere with the straight\u00adfor\u00adward move\u00adment of the forelegs. Ribs are deep and well sprung. Back is strong and slop\u00ading even\u00adly and slight\u00adly down\u00adward from the shoul\u00adders to the set-on of the docked tail. The docked tail is set on and car\u00adried on a line with the topline of the back, or slight\u00adly high\u00ader; nev\u00ader straight up like a Ter\u00adri\u00ader and nev\u00ader so low as to indi\u00adcate timid\u00adi\u00adty. When the dog is in motion the tail action is merry.<\/p>

Fore\u00adquar\u00adters:<\/span><\/strong> The shoul\u00adders are well laid back form\u00ading an angle with the upper arm of approx\u00adi\u00admate\u00adly 90 degrees which per\u00admits the dog to move his forelegs in an easy man\u00adner with for\u00adward reach. Shoul\u00adders are clean-cut and slop\u00ading with\u00adout pro\u00adtru\u00adsion and so set that the upper points of the with\u00aders are at an angle which per\u00admits a wide spring of rib. When viewed from the side with the forelegs ver\u00adti\u00adcal, the elbow is direct\u00adly below the high\u00adest point of the shoul\u00adder blade. Forelegs are par\u00adal\u00adlel, straight, strong\u00adly boned and mus\u00adcu\u00adlar and set close to the body well under the scapu\u00adlae. The pasterns are short and strong. Dew\u00adclaws on forelegs may be removed. Feet com\u00adpact, large, round and firm with horny pads; they turn nei\u00adther in nor out.<\/p>

Hindquar\u00adters:<\/strong> <\/span>Hips are wide and quar\u00adters well round\u00aded and mus\u00adcu\u00adlar. When viewed from behind, the hind legs are par\u00adal\u00adlel when in motion and at rest. The hind legs are strong\u00adly boned, and mus\u00adcled with mod\u00ader\u00adate angu\u00adla\u00adtion at the sti\u00adfle and pow\u00ader\u00adful, clear\u00adly defined thighs. The sti\u00adfle is strong and there is no slip\u00adpage of it in motion or when stand\u00ading. The hocks are strong and well let down. Dew\u00adclaws on hind legs may be removed.<\/p>

Coat:<\/span><\/strong> On the head, short and fine; on the body, medi\u00adum length, with enough under\u00adcoat\u00ading to give pro\u00adtec\u00adtion. The ears, chest, abdomen and legs are well feath\u00adered, but not so exces\u00adsive\u00adly as to hide the Cock\u00ader Spaniel's true lines and move\u00adment or affect his appear\u00adance and func\u00adtion as a mod\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly coat\u00aded sport\u00ading dog. The tex\u00adture is most impor\u00adtant. The coat is silky, flat or slight\u00adly wavy and of a tex\u00adture which per\u00admits easy care. Exces\u00adsive coat or curly or cot\u00adtony tex\u00adtured coat shall be severe\u00adly penal\u00adized. Use of elec\u00adtric clip\u00adpers on the back coat is not desir\u00adable. Trim\u00adming to enhance the dog's true lines should be done to appear as nat\u00adur\u00adal as possible.<\/p>

Col\u00ador and Mark\u00adings:<\/strong>
Black Vari\u00adety<\/span> \u2014 Sol\u00adid col\u00ador black to include black with tan points. The black should be jet; shad\u00adings of brown or liv\u00ader in the coat are not desir\u00adable. A small amount of white on the chest and\/or throat is allowed; white in any oth\u00ader loca\u00adtion shall dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfy.
Any Sol\u00adid Col\u00ador Oth\u00ader than Black (ASCOB<\/span>)<\/span> \u2014 Any sol\u00adid col\u00ador oth\u00ader than black, rang\u00ading from light\u00adest cream to dark\u00adest red, includ\u00ading brown and brown with tan points. The col\u00ador shall be of a uni\u00adform shade, but lighter col\u00ador of the feath\u00ader\u00ading is per\u00admis\u00adsi\u00adble. A small amount of white on the chest and\/or throat is allowed; white in any oth\u00ader loca\u00adtion shall dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfy.
Par\u00adti-Col\u00ador Vari\u00adety<\/span> \u2014 Two or more sol\u00adid, well bro\u00adken col\u00adors, one of which must be white; black and white, red and white (the red may range from light\u00adest cream to dark\u00adest red), brown and white, and roans, to include any such col\u00ador com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion with tan points. It is prefer\u00adable that the tan mark\u00adings be locat\u00aded in the same pat\u00adtern as for the tan points in the Black and ASCOB<\/span> vari\u00adeties. Roans are clas\u00adsi\u00adfied as par\u00adti-col\u00adors and may be of any of the usu\u00adal roan\u00ading pat\u00adterns. Pri\u00adma\u00adry col\u00ador which is nine\u00adty per\u00adcent (90%) or more shall dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfy.
Tan Points<\/span> \u2014 The col\u00ador of the tan may be from the light\u00adest cream to the dark\u00adest red and is restrict\u00aded to ten per\u00adcent (10%) or less of the col\u00ador of the spec\u00adi\u00admen; tan mark\u00adings in excess of that amount shall dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfy. In the case of tan points in the Black or ASCOB<\/span> vari\u00adety, the mark\u00adings shall be locat\u00aded as fol\u00adlows:
 1) A clear tan spot over each eye;
 2) On the sides of the muz\u00adzle and on the cheeks;
 3) On the under\u00adside of the ears;
 4) On all feet and\/or legs;
 5) Under the tail;
 6) On the chest, option\u00adal; pres\u00adence or absence shall not be penal\u00adized.
Tan mark\u00adings which are not read\u00adi\u00adly vis\u00adi\u00adble or which amount only to traces, shall be penal\u00adized.
Tan on the muz\u00adzle which extends upward, over and joins shall also be penal\u00adized.
The absence of tan mark\u00adings in the Black or ASCOB<\/span> vari\u00adety in any of the spec\u00adi\u00adfied loca\u00adtions in any oth\u00ader\u00adwise tan-point\u00aded dog shall disqualify.<\/p>

Gait:<\/strong><\/span> The Cock\u00ader Spaniel, though the small\u00adest of the sport\u00ading dogs, pos\u00adsess\u00ades a typ\u00adi\u00adcal sport\u00ading dog gait.
Pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsite to good move\u00adment is bal\u00adance between the front and rear assem\u00adblies. He dri\u00adves with strong, pow\u00ader\u00adful rear quar\u00adters and is prop\u00ader\u00adly con\u00adstruct\u00aded in the shoul\u00adders and forelegs so that he can reach for\u00adward with\u00adout con\u00adstric\u00adtion in a full stride to coun\u00adter\u00adbal\u00adance the dri\u00adving force from the rear. Above all, his gait is co\u00f6r\u00addi\u00adnat\u00aded, smooth and effort\u00adless. The dog must cov\u00ader ground with his action; exces\u00adsive ani\u00adma\u00adtion should not be mis\u00adtak\u00aden for prop\u00ader gait.<\/p>

Tem\u00adpera\u00adment:<\/span> <\/strong>Equable in tem\u00adpera\u00adment with no sug\u00adges\u00adtion of timidity.<\/p>

Dis\u00adqual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions:<\/span><\/strong>
Height<\/span> \u2014 Males over 15\u00bd inch\u00ades; females over 14\u00bd inch\u00ades. Eye(s) blue, blue mar\u00adbled, blue flecked.
