Spanador (Cocker Spaniel X Labrador) Puppy

These designer puppies are for everyone who don't particularly want a poodle cross designer or a large dog. A spanador is a medium, smooth coated water lover which will suit outdoor, fun loving families. Both the labrador and cocker spaniel qualities come through with this breed, they love to retrieve, play and run but they are only a medium size dog even though These dogs are very active and do need exercise. Prospective owners shouldn't really have a small backyard and must be prepared to take the dog for daily walks. Spanadors are suitable for any active person or family who doesn't need a purebred and prefers not to have a large dog. If you are after a medium sized dog, remember some pups may grow to be nearly as large as a Labrador. To improve your chances of selecting that mid-sized specimen, when selecting a pup from a litter, look for the one which is more characteristic of the spaniel and more compact in its conformation.
The amount of grooming depends on how much of the Cocker Spaniel's coat is inherited. Spanadors with more feathering will require a brush once weekly. If the coat is short like the Labrador, very infrequent grooming is required. Regardless of the coat, clipping is not required
