1. The puppy cut
This haircut is the simplest of them all and the one that requires the least maintenance. There are parents who do not have the time and availability to keep their cocker spaniel long, so they decide to keep it short.
All the hair is cut to the same length, maximum about 4 cm long, but also so that it is not too even, you can play with cutting some of the front strands a little more than the back to leave some of the feel of the typical cocker spaniel cut.
Not only is the cut easiest to maintain because you won't have to be untangling it all the time, but it's the freshest on summer time. You will see how your dog will be in a better mood, because he will feel more comfortable and light
two. The princess cut
This is the most classic cut in cocker spaniels but not the most standard, because it is the mostdifficult to maintain . Many people adopt a cocker spaniel to be able to style them in this flirtatious way.
Your pet's hair will fall to the ground as if it were a gala party skirt, which also has a very pompous lining. Your dog will really look like a cuddly toy, and more than hugging it, it will cause all the admiring glances. The ears will also have their own cotton flaps.
Although it may not seem like it, this is the most versatile cut of all, because by having more hair, the hairdresser or you (if you have a lot of experience) will be able to use your imagination and give it the shape you want, playing with all those long locks. You can straighten his fur with a dryer to make it look more delicate, or on the contrary, you can leave it curly, with a more wild 80's style.
3. The catwalk cut
This haircut is the one that is inspired by dog morphology shows but has its own historical tradition. American Cocker Spaniels are the ones with that long, lush coat, as opposed to English Cocker Spaniels, which have shorter, less conspicuous hair. The Americans are a breed that dates back to the 1800s and that from the first instance were the pets and hunting dogs of families of high social classes, for this reason that long, comfortable and shiny hair was synonymous with beauty and elegance
This haircut, to be perfect, must be done by an expert. The layers of hair are cut in a very specific way, and the hair falls from the back, which is shorter, to the legs, which are much longer and fall like a waterfall effect. One difference that it has with the previous one is that, not always, the hair loss in the belly area must be down to the ground, this is thicker when it comes to the legs.
Catwalk haircut maintenance is practically daily. Every day you should untangle your dog's fur, clean underneath if any residue has stuck to it and comb it, with a special brush, as if it were a princess or prince.
