It has been since the 1940's that the Cocker Spaniel was the top dog at the AKC. This ceramic "planter" is a reminder of that time and was made back in the early 50's. With those long floppy ears and human-like expressions it is no wonder this dog has held true, and the breed has not degraded. For a collector this item is a true "find." This piece is in excellent shape according to the Merchandise Mart in Prescott.  Puppy dog is not quite 4" tall.
