English :)
I had an English Cocker when I was in junior high and high school. Wonderful, beautiful, even-tempered, great dog. However, I groom and board a couple English cockers that are very aggresive, unpredictable dogs.
I have an Amerian cocker now, she is almost 14 years old. She has been a wonderful dog. Smart, quiet, clean, good-natured. Couldn't ask for a better dog. But I groom and board many American cockers that are truly stupid, and a couple that are mean and nasty.
I personally will not get either one of these breeds again. I don't want to deal with the coat anymore. I'm all about short-haired, "wash and wear" dogs at this point in my life. I also don't want to deal with the ear infections and warts and moles as they age. American cockers don't exactly age gracefully, a lot of the time.
