Cocker Spaniel
Cocker spaniels and other spaniel types were originally bred to hunt birds. They have evolved over time into the ideal mid-sized family pet, except for those with allergies. These have long-haired coats, which shed dander. They also tend to drool. The breed is also susceptible to skin allergies which can lead to more dander being spread in the air.
