    You could do worse than contact the cocker spaniel society of Ireland they have held a open field trial in October & the next one is on the 25 November .
    Cockers as a breed are very good hardworking spaniels, very busy & will retrieve virtually any game ESS etc retrieve, they may be small in size but have big egos & hearts usually, so they are capable of working all day & can make quartering retrievers look sluggish & ESS look average. Nowadays they are possibly at a peak of popularity & of working abilities in the UK & suggest a similar patterns starting to emerge in Ireland to ,obviously some will still be short of the mark but overall they are very effective hunting spaniels .
