American Cocker Spaniels have round eyes and a rounded skull, and have a more pronounced stop (the indentation in the forehead just above eye level) and shorter muzzle than English Cocker Spaniels. English Cockers are a bit taller and heavier than the American breed, and tend to have less coat. However, it is often difficult to tell the difference between the two!

Murphy is an English Cocker Spaniel from Irvine, CA. Don't be fooled by his salt-and-pepper ears- this pup is only 4 years old (5 as of Friday)! Murphy is a tad shy, but loves to curl up and snuggle with his owners. His favorite pastimes include giving hugs, having his belly rubbed and taking flying leaps off of things (expecting you to catch him). Although Murphy puts on a brave face while barking at the mailman and kitties everyday, he is one big wimp!
Orange is a good color on you, Murphy!
