Lexi doesn't actually work, but she is classed as a working cocker spaniel because of her breeding. If she did work, she would go out on shoots, either beating (flushing out game birds) or picking up shot birds. Misha and Roly are show cocker spaniels (the kind you see on crufts). Ellie is a cross between a working and show cocker.
Lexi & Ellie are my two rescue girls so I have no idea what their backgrounds are, but it is unlikely that either of them ever worked.[/QUOTE
That's the same with my two Bedlingtons, I prefer them to be pets to be honest and I don't think they would be too good at working after spending most of their days sleeping in the house! Have you ever shown your spaniels? My big Airedale terrier lost to a chiwawa (not sure if that's how you spell it!) last time we entered her in a show :lol:
