Summary
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
About Cavapoo
The Cavapoo is a small, affectionate Cavalier–Poodle cross (about 6–11 kg) with a soft, often low‑shedding coat needing frequent brushing and regular grooming. Friendly, playful, and trainable, it suits varied homes but dislikes long periods alone and needs daily walks and company.
