The breed

What makes cocker spaniels good cover material.

Ears that arrive before the dog does, and a tail that has never once stopped. The name comes from hunting woodcock, a job that demands boundless enthusiasm in dense cover, which accounts for the temperament and the tail together. Cockers photograph beautifully — soft focus, enormous eyes, and an interview in which nothing has ever gone wrong and nothing ever will.

Fresh off the press

Three cocker spaniels, three completely different covers.

Nothing below is a template with a cocker spaniel's name dropped into it — it is what the engine actually wrote for three different cocker spaniels, from three different sets of answers.

Gus — a athletic, mischievous cocker spaniel, sworn enemy of the cat, best known for the full sprawl:

"I Have Never Been Wrong"

  • Adorable and unrepentantInnocent in every photo, involved in every incident
  • The starfishFive points, no apologies, and the entire bed
  • A cocker spaniel of rare distinctionSetting a standard the others pretend not to notice
"My schedule is full. I cannot tell you with what."

639 treats negotiated · 68 cat standoffs survived · 9 dramatic sighs per hour

Nugget — a lazy, dignified cocker spaniel, sworn enemy of the skateboards, best known for counter-surfing:

Twelve Minutes With Nugget, Who Is Busy

  • The skateboard menaceRolling chaos that simply must be screamed at
  • A cocker spaniel of rare distinctionSetting a standard the others pretend not to notice
  • Reach exceeds graspExcept it does not, and the butter is gone
"Every meal is my last meal. It's not drama, it's policy. The skateboards know what they did."

982 treats negotiated · 32 skateboard standoffs survived · 7 dramatic sighs per hour

Rosie — a derpy, velcro cocker spaniel, sworn enemy of the Roomba, best known for screaming at nothing:

Inside the Secret Life of a Cocker Spaniel

  • Three feet, maximumA shadow with a heartbeat and no concept of doors
  • A cocker spaniel of rare distinctionSetting a standard the others pretend not to notice

Questions

The fine print, minus the fine print.

What do I get with a cocker spaniel cover?

Making and sharing the cover is free (it carries a small watermark). The paid download is a clean, watermark-free 8.5×11 file at 320 DPI for $7.99 — it prints true-size on letter paper at home or at any print shop.

How does it work?

Upload one photo of your cocker spaniel, pick a personality, a sworn nemesis, and a signature move — our deadpan editorial engine writes the whole cover in about 60 seconds. No account needed.

Is my photo kept private?

Yes. Covers live at an unlisted link only you can share, they're never shown publicly or used for advertising, and free covers are automatically deleted after about 30 days.

Can I send it as a gift?

That's the classic move: make the cover free, share the link with family, and anyone — including the grandparents — can grab the print-ready file.
