	Spaniel Journal - Dusting Off History to Look at Cocker Hunting Tradition by Bobbie Kolehouse - March 2005
		Caius categorized all sporting dogs into two groups: one used to hunt animals and the second for those used to hunt birds.
		The Encyclopedia of Rural Sports (1840) described them as follows: "The cocker, so called from his appropriation to woodcock shooting, has a short, round head when compared with that of a springer; he is, also, much smaller in size, more compact in his frame and not high on his legs.
		They were a "hardy lot, gathered from anywhere in the neighborhood for the day’s sport," wrote C.A. Phillips in The Sporting Spaniel (1906) as he described how he remembered rural sportsmen used spaniels in England then.
