One fairly common sporting breed that I don't hear or see a lot of is the cocker spaniel. So, I'm curious, has anyone here either owned or had personal experience with both cocker spaniels and golden retrievers? I've spent an extended amount of time with goldens, but I've never met a cocker spaniel. What are the biggest differences between the two breeds' personality? Which breed seems to be healthier, more quiet, less prey driven, and more patient with children? I think I remember hearing somewhere that a lot of the spaniels tend to be temperamental and impatient with small children, but I don't know for sure. Curious to learn more!

Cockers are really adorable, it always surprises me how tiny they really are.
My parents are on their second Boykin and at first glance you think they are the same size as a cocker, then realize they pack a punch at 40 pounds.
I'm a big fan of working cockers and Boykins.
Both are weirdos and nothing like a golden retriever.
