This is not surprising, because these spaniels have a particularly beautiful external appearance, which is fascinating for many people. The small Cavalier is a dog for everyone. He feels comfortable in any environment as long as he gets enough exercise. The Cocker Spaniel needs appropriate activity simply because of his hunting instinct, but is therefore no less suitable for beginners.
