Origin

United Kingdom

Attractive to:

Active, outdoorsy types that like romping about in the countryside for hours each day, and who want a loving, family pet to relax with in the evening.

Not the best for:

People who don't like repeating themselves. Get used to explaining that, no, your dog isn't a Cocker Spaniel – you'll be doing this on walks for the dog's lifetime!

Field

Cross between:

None

Size:

Medium
A bit smaller than a Labrador.

Without sufficient mental and physical exercise will probably do the wall of death around the living room!

Coat:

Jacket and skinny trousers
Any feathering can get knotty. Some coats self-clean by depositing mud all over the kitchen floor.

Shedding:

Moderate shedding
All canines drop some hair, think of it as dog glitter!

12 years

Good first dog?:

Maybe
