Can a female cocker spaniel be a diva?
It was the topic of discussion during one of our walks with the Dog Pack. If you've read about Chloe's pack friends you'll know the group includes a female Brittany, two female Poodles, and a male Poodle-Schnauzer mix.
One
opinion was a resounding “yes”, a spaniel can be a diva, but I thought, “no
way", especially not with their hunting and sporting heritage. I would
contend that Poodles are the real divas, with their nose in the air, their high
stepping trot, and a grooming style that exudes a, ...look at me pose.
In fact, Poodles were bred for their ability at showmanship that resulted in over the top grooming styles as a way of being noticed. Of course, Poodle owners love their breed for these traits. They’re intelligent, loyal, a little high strung, but they do make a good companion I’m told.

I know Chloe pretty well, ever since she was a
pup I might add, and while she can have her moments of pouting sometimes, she
is no diva. Now, if you ever looked at a cocker spaniel with their large eyes
and that soulful gaze, and of course that continuously wagging tail, you would
understand that they just couldn’t be divas!
