Then and Now: What Dogs Looked Like a Century Ago
2. Cocker Spaniel
The appearance of the early cockers was much different than those we see today. Not only were they smaller and longer-bodied, but they had shorter muzzles. Today, there are two distinct breeds of Cocker Spaniel, the American and the English. Each type emerged from the foundation sires, Obo and his son, Obo II, in the late 1800s. The two breeds accentuate different aspects of those early dogs, especially in the coat, muzzle length, and body type.
