About cotralians

Lovable, loyal, and intelligent, the Cotralian is a crossbreed that combines the best characteristics of two breeds: the Australian Shepherd and the Cocker Spaniel. This sweet and playful breed is great with meeting strangers and larger pets. Their herding instinct may cause them to herd young children and smaller animals. Proper training and early socialization is highly encouraged to prevent possible aggression and develop good manners. The Cotralian is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for an active companion who will be happy to join you on any outdoor adventure and then cuddle up on the couch for your favorite show.
