I am partial to spaniels.. I've had a brittney, and cocker..My guy is part cocker, and poodle.. A cockapoo.. He doesn't shed, as the other two.. The other two had very mellow personalities, he doesn't.. He was the runt of the littler, and has a Napolian complex.. He's 17 lbs, and thinks he's a big guy.. I think because he was the runt, he has the attitude..
