Description

The Spanador is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the American Cocker Spaniel. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Amy (aka Babba) the Spanador at 2 years old—"You can place a treat on her foot and she will not touch it until she is given the command, something my 11 year old daughter taught her. She is easy to train in this respect. She is not particularly food led though, unless it is something really tasty like salmon. She is very personable and loving and people are constantly telling us what a lovely dog she is. We adore her!"
