Spaniels are over rated.

Real dogs like Border Collies and Blue Heelers are real dogs.
Treein' Walkers.

A few nights in the woods with a half dozen of these chasing 'coons will
convince you.
JohnH,

I am sure if you want a dog to chase coons and enjoy spending nights in
the woods with them, that is a great dog. But for a great family dog
who loves to go boating, swimming, walking/running through the woods,
and just herding up the neighborhood kids, nothing beats an:

Australian Sheepdog

a Border Collie

or a Shetland Sheepdog.

Smartest, most attentive dogs you can adopt.
