Summary
About Cocker Spaniel
Cheerful, medium‑sized gundog with a sturdy build, soft expression, and long silky ears. Bred to hunt woodcock, it loves sniffing, searching, and joining family activities. Sensitive and people‑oriented, it needs daily exercise, mental stimulation, and regular grooming to stay healthy and content.
About East European Shepherd
The East European Shepherd is a large, robust working dog from the former Soviet Union, resembling a bigger, squarer German Shepherd. Loyal and protective, it needs firm, fair training, early socialisation, and plenty of structured mental and physical exercise.
