I want a small, friendly, frisky, intelligent dog. I like dogs that will look you in the eye, and pay attention, not ones that always seem to be distracted by something else.
My ideal dog would like to hike with me (I can make weekend trips to some great hills), does not shed, is not aggressive or mean, and is good looking (as opposed to the dogs that are "so ugly they're kind of cute".
I like cocker spaniels, but don't know much about them. I've seen c.ock-a-poos, and other mixes, but I don't know if they enjoy being outdoors and walking a lot.
Importantly, I need a dog that doesn't weigh much more than 20 pounds maximum. I want to be able to lift him up without killing my back.
What do you think is the best dog for me? (I live in a city where the summers aren't too hot, and winters have only occasional cold days).
I live in an apartment where there are no parks close by. I would probably have to walk a good twenty minutes to get to one.
