Species group: Mixed Breeds
Other name(s): Bocker, Beaker, Bocker Spaniel
The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.
The first generation Bocker is a cross between a pure Beagle and a pure Cocker Spaniel, although subsequent generations may have different proportions of the two breeds in the mix. The ideal Bocker has a loving personality but you never know what you're getting with this mix. Some individuals could be a challenge, with a tendency to chase down scents or jump up.
Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, in general with the Bocker you're getting a smallish, floppy-eared dog with big brown eyes.
Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog, the Bocker has something of a reputation for being difficult or uninterested in being trained by people they dislike. Have a good grasp of dog psychology to keep from losing this animal's trust.
