Question Seeking general input on English Cocker Spaniel

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find out some info on the English Cocker Spaniel. If anyone out there has/had one or know/known one, I'd really appreciate getting your overall appreciation of the breed (temperament, energy level - inside and outside, separation anxiety issues, trainability, shedding reality...).

One thing that would worry me if I did end up choosing a Cocker as my next fur baby, is the fact that they seem to be quite prone to "accidents" when they get excited or stressed. Is this a general tendency, or a rare occurance in Cockers?

Thanks for any input you will provide!

Lili
