Yes, just like all other dogs, Cocker Spaniels also have a distinctive smell to them

Variable from puppy to puppy, this smell arises from the pheromones produced by their bodies

Usually a canine's body smell is not always strong

It smells stronger when mixed with dirt or dust from the coats

This is because when dirty, a canine's coat serves as one of the best breeding grounds for all kinds of microbes

[{"selector":"#anim-e64d7b35-d9ef-4b4a-8098-0bff6857a675","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9735098-a299-4602-b034-1e1a002b2e5e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

Apart from a dirty coat, if the canine is suffering from certain skin issues or has malfunctioning anal sacs, then also a strong disgusting smell can be detected

[{"selector":"#anim-8141e41d-593c-4ef0-8220-db94a814ed44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01bc116b-ab37-4313-ac7b-fa9467e2c9e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.08458%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

While most of these smells can be eradicated with a proper wash, others might be precursors of something serious
