The Cocker Jack dogs are found in different colours like black, black and tan, brown and white or any mix of these colours.
Coat
They can have a broken coat like a JRT that is half smooth and half rough or they can have a Spaniel coat that is medium length and silky in nature.
Personality
The Cocker Jack dogs are loving, caring and high energy dogs that are good to all members of the family. They are intelligent and loyal dogs that form a strong bond with their family. They are very human loving dogs and like to be around their owner as much as possible. They are good and gentle with children but should not be treated harshly. These dogs generally get along well with other dogs and pets. With their high levels of energy, they need lots of physical activities to keep their body and mind satisfied.
Care

Training
Being very intelligent dogs, they are bound to learn quickly. They however, can show independent behavior and may need a firm trainer.
