Re: Springer/Cocker cross

springer cocker crosses usually come as the working types, this means youll have a very very fast little dog that is serious high energy, working cockers are emense in the field and working springers are basically their bigger cousins so will have a never say die attitude.
Your going to have to put a huge amount of training into a springer cocker if you want it anywhere near obedient - if youve never owned either of the breeds before id say get a purebred first. They are not as dramatic a dog as youve had experience of - they simply need good ownership and plenty of training, once theyve got this youve basically got a great versatile pet. But a springer cocker is a very (huuuuuge) big challenged id say...
(they have the looks of a small and unassuming dog which is misleading, they infact they like nothing better than tearing apart an ache of greenbelt lol their looks could easily catch you out)
