Welcome to The Cocker Spaniel Breed Council Website

The Breed Council was formed on the 17 th March 1968. At the inaugural meeting 18 regional Breed Clubs from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were represented. It now consists of 22 Breed Clubs.

The Breed Council holds two meetings a year – one in the spring, and the other in the autumn. The spring meeting is the Annual General Meeting, where Officers are nominated from the 22 member Breed Clubs. The items to be discussed at any meeting are either proposed by the member Clubs or by the Kennel Club.
