They have the superpower to maintain their puppy appearance, no matter how old they get, adding to their popularity

Thanks to this, they are often showcased as designer dogs and can be found in many TV ads as well

These canines are blessed with a voluminous coat and a sweet temperament, making them an eye-candy

Unfortunately, even though these canines may seem similar to other spaniels, they are not the best option for apartments

[{"selector":"#anim-3350e9e2-a939-47df-b947-f0399c136f5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-adb0ab00-a605-4190-a94e-3885c91ccbf1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.08458%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

They require plenty of exercises and enough room to run without which they will become destructive

[{"selector":"#anim-1899f2e3-223d-45fd-b4a1-a2169a6cb918","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d0829cf-ce2e-43cb-9a9f-527237046b06","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.08458%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

Similarly confining them to small rooms can also severely impact their mental health

So, if you are looking for an apartment-appropriate dog then Golden Cocker Retrievers may not be the best option
