Reworded the first two points. I probably should have placed a note on the talk page regarding the purpose of this article to help with the GA review. The article is meant as a dog type article, rather than a dog breed article and as such I've only given a historical and physical comparison between the two breeds as the other typical subjects for a breed (such as temperament etc) would in included in the relevant breed's article; and also because I felt that a specific comparison couldn't be made for those subjects.

This sentence: "They were bred as gun dogs: to use their noses to methodically cover low areas near the handler so as to flush ground-dwelling birds into the air to be shot, to use their eyes and nose to locate the bird, and to gently extricate and retrieve the bird with a soft mouth." is too close to the wording of this website http://www.cockerspanielrage.org.uk/, in my opinion, which says "They were originally bred as gun dogs, using their noses to methodically cover low areas near the handler to flush ground-dwelling birds into the air." Needs some rewording. Otherwise, article looks fine.
