 We have come to a point where dogs consider themeselves as members of our pack and we also consider  them as members of our family. And we love it!   One of the reasons we have been so succesfully living together is because our  two natures complete each other in harmony. 

Ever since the dog  species separated from the wolf, various breeds have made their appearance. Among them the cocker spaniels which are descended from spaniels,  are one of the oldest breed of dogs.  Spaniels most likely originated from Spain and arrived in England probably during Caesar’s invasion (54-55 BC).
