THE
COCKER
SPANIEL.--For
the
last
few
years
the
popularity
of
this
smaller
sized
branch
of
the
Spaniel
tribe
has
been
steadily
increasing,
and
the
Cocker
classes
at
most
of
the
best
shows
are
now
remarkable
both
for
the
number
of
entries
and
the
very
high
standard
of
excellence
to
which
they
attain.
