unless it's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - they have longer, straigh noses & don't have such bulgy eyes. and they're bigger than 9" tall!

Well all I can say here has been said already.

DO not even think of it.

There is loads of tested breeds that do the job fine and breeds that have been tried and just wont or cant.

I believe this breed comes into the catogory wont or cant.

Think more along the lines of Springer / Cocker / Lab / sprocker and you will have far less of a nightmare.
