The neck and inside the ears should be cut short. Keeping the hair inside the ears short as shown helps prevent ear problems. Air is able to circulate in and around the ear better. This keeps the ear dryer and helps prevent some of the ear problems many people will tell you cockers are sucseptible to. We do the inside of the ears with clippers and the neck with thinning scissors.

The underside of the muzzle and the throat is clippered in a "V" shape down to the top of the breast bone

The shoulder is trimmed with the thinning scissors to show of the shape of the shoulder, leading into the front of the leg which is either clippered or cut short with the thinning scissirs. The feathering on the back of the leg is left long.

The hind legs are again cut with the thinning scissors. The hair on the side of the leg is short and the feathering left long or sometimes trimmed as shown to leave a nice tidy edge.

The feet are trimmed with normal scissors. Under the foot the hair is trimmed to be level with the pads - never between the pads. AFter trimmimng under the foot trim around the edge from the top  to leave he foot looking neat and tidy. The standard states "cat like". A show dogs foot would probably be trimmed with normal scissors around teh edge and thinning scissors on the top.

Under the tail should be trimmed to be neat and tidy. This is to prevent any problems with the hair becoming messy when the dog relieves itself. The hair on the hocks can aslo be trimmed short which keeps the feet and leg cleaner in wet weather.
