As their name suggests, Tri color working cocker spaniels are Field spaniels with tri-colored coats

Unlike spaniels with single colored coats, these pups have a combination of three different colors, garnering them their name

These colors can be anything, from a combination of white, black and brown to a rarer set of orange, white, and tan

Given these unique coat colors, such pups look extremely mesmerizing and are great fun to have

Although pretty rare, cocker parents with a single coat color can also bear tri color spaniels

[{"selector":"#anim-284b538a-6e06-46c4-8488-8abad2ee83c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d5808b1-8c9d-4bbb-8cc3-3931247b39f9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.19939%, 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

This is because the variation happens due to gene mutations, and therefore there is no way of detecting such pups by looking at their parents' coats

[{"selector":"#anim-d3e7f855-abd5-4b9c-82d3-ea543a185fc1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5339b78d-331d-453f-93a5-50a53aa26a2d","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

However, excluding their coat color, there is nothing different between a regular working cocker spaniel and these pups

[{"selector":"#anim-ea1d9f5a-bee3-44e5-a36f-dc83a93ccb81","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59a9b169-3d4d-4211-8ca5-10766294460a","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

They too are hardworking, have high prey drive instincts and make as wonderful gun dogs when trained properly
