Cock-A-Mo
(Cockamo)
American Eskimo / Cocker Spaniel
Hybrid
The Cock-A-Mo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
American Eskimo and the
Cocker Spaniel. The best way to
determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross
and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in
either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid
Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs
being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to
breed multi-generation crosses.
"Suggie (pronounced SHOOGY, derived
from Sugar ;-) is a 2 1/2 year old bundle of love. He's a cock-a-mo (American
Cocker Spaniel x American Eskimo) He was all alone sitting in a cage in a boring
old pet store. He was the cutest dog I'd seen in a while so I went over and
tapped on the glass. He was an older puppy, about 5 months at the time. The
clerk told me that he's been there for a while and he wasn't selling because
people wanted a little, younger puppy. Since I wasn't looking for a dog, just
picking kitty supplies, I walked away. (Also my husband didn't want a dog).
Something kept drawing my eyes over to the little cutie so I went back over and
asked to see him. The moment he ran up to me and peed on my foot, I knew he was
the one! Despite my better judgment, I bought him on the spot. I was NOT
prepared to be a puppy parent. The pet store workers were so eager to see him go
they let me take him home for $199.00. I've always been against buying a dog
from a pet store, but I couldn't imagine his fate if I left him there any
longer."
"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT REALLY DOES EXIST. My husband saw me pull up and take the
dog out of my car and he was smitten. We have the most affectionate, obedient,
sweetest dog on the planet. He was our baby. Then we got pregnant with our
second child. We were so worried that there'd be insane jealousy but it was
quite the opposite. Suggie was easy to train (despite being in a cage for the
1st 5 months of his life) and loves children. His only vice: He also loves to
escape when we leave the door cracked. He runs around the neighbors yards until
we lure him in with a treat. Oh well, nobody is perfect!!! But Suggie is close!"

outside. He is 9 years old in this photo but acts like a puppy!
