About the Cotralian
The Cotralian is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Miniature Australian Shepherd. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Cotralian is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
