Best suited for pawrents who love the extra thrill that comes with the two breeds, these pups can greatly vary in heights

This means that the puppers can either be medium statured like their Spaniel parents or have a large height that matches their Labbie parents

However no matter what, they are blessed with hard to resist looks that even stays on while the pups mature

They are also popularly referred to as the Cocker Spaniel Lab mix, Spanador and the Cockerdors

Health wise the pups are less likely to suffer from serious health issues, although exceptions are very much possible

They have an average lifespan of 12-15 years which is a pretty good time to spend with your furry partners

However given that they are a mix of two active breed canines, the pup will need regular and ample physical and mental stimulation
