May pet of the month - Cocker Spaniel

Filed in archive webkinz pet of month on May 2, 2009

The Cocker Spaniel is now the Pet of the Month for May. When I was little, all I wanted was a cocker or a beagle. I grew up and got beagles first (and tossed in some dachshunds too) but still have a fond place in my heart for the breed - I mean who doesn't love a cute cocker spaniel?

If you have one to enter, here are some Famous Cocker Spaniels to help you get inspired.

Coppertone - many of you are too young to even remember the famous Coppertone commericals but there was a cute dog grabbing at the clothes of a kiddo, showing her tan line. The dog was a cocker spaniel
