"Clover is as sweet as her Cocker Spaniel mommy. She is almost a year old now. Clover lives with her new mother Leah up in northern New Mexico and AJ, a goofy Mini Schnauzer. She loves playing in the snow and sticking her tongue out. Clover has never had a haircut. Her owners prefer just to brush her and let her hair be long. This gives most an idea of how they can look with longer hair. Clover's mother is a buff Cocker Spaniel and her father is a black and white Siberian Husky." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
The Siberian Cocker is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Siberian Husky and the American Cocker Spaniel. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

"This is Bella as a 9-week-old puppy. Bella is just that—beautiful in and out. She is the little princess out of the whole bunch. The best way to describe her is by using the term 'girly-girl.' She does not like to get dirty. I love when she tilts her head and gives you that look like "who, me?" She will be going home to her new daddy Eli soon! Bella's litter has a buff Cocker Spaniel dam and the sire is a black and white Siberian Husky." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel

Blue as a 9-week-old puppy—Blue's litter has a buff Cocker Spaniel dam and the sire is a black and white Siberian Husky. "Blue (as we call him based on the color collar he was given at birth) has yet to be renamed. The name Baloo (from the Jungle Book) has been an idea for his new name. This little stinker is such a mischievous little boy. He is the second largest boy. At 9 weeks old he was already trying to establish himself as the alpha male. He has actually gotten a hold of Dante's ear once or twice and made poor Dante cry. Dante is an adult purebred silver and white Siberian Husky." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
Raleigh as a 9-week-old puppy—Raleigh's litter has a buff Cocker Spaniel dam and the sire is a black and white Siberian Husky. "Raleigh was the biggest boy of the bunch and is now living with his new mommy Adriana. Adriana constantly sends me pictures of Raleigh sprawled out sleeping in her doorway. He is such a well-mannered lover boy and she constantly gets praises and compliments. Raleigh also loves giving kisses, too!" Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
Conner as a 4-week-old puppy—his mother was a buff Cocker Spaniel and father a black and white Siberian Husky. Connor was our special boy out of this bunch. He was born with two blue eyes and then the bottom part of his right eye decided to change to brown! I was so happy that he went home with a great new daddy named Daniel. Connor was selected by Daniel to be his new companion and therapy puppy. It made me feel so wonderful when Daniel's mother contacted us looking for a puppy to assist with Daniel as a therapy dog for Daniel's autism. Thus far they have been extremely happy with their new family member because his personality and temperament were exactly what they were looking for! It just brings me to tears knowing that our babies have gone to great homes and are with families who love them as much as we do." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
Little Red, who may be named Oliver in his new home, as a 9-week-old puppy—his mother was a buff Cocker Spaniel and father a black and white Siberian Husky. "He was the smallest and leanest out of the boy puppies." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
Sabrina as a 9-week-old puppy—her litter has a buff Cocker Spaniel dam and the sire is a black and white Siberian Husky. "Sabrina is just a doll. She was the runt out of the litter. I believe that she will grow up to look just like Clover but maybe a little smaller. Whenever I look at her I can’t help but smile and she is the total lap dog. She is now living with her new mommy Anna." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
Brianna as a 9-week-old puppy—her litter has a buff Cocker Spaniel dam and the sire is a black and white Siberian Husky. "Brianna was the first born, first to growl, bark, crawl, walk, and break a sprinkler head. She is so cute. Liela created a special bond with Brianna because she was the first born and there was a large gap between her birth and Bella’s. Her markings are very precious, too. She looks like she has little black freckles on her nose mixed in with her white markings. She will be going home with her new mother Mary." Photo courtesy of Tai-Le Kennel
