That's what I'm getting at, Fly. A lab isn't all that smart, but they're damned attentive and loyal. They're one of the top choices for guiding the blind, for god's sake. I'm sure that your lab/spaniel mix is a more manageable dog than a pure springer spaniel would be. And I'm obsessed with the Welsh springer spaniel, though I've never owned one. We have a chocolate/yellow lab.
