In that case, I'd go with the Mil Dog LE, scale it down and use the morphs to "make" a Cocxker Spaniel. I think the LE model is still free. If you going to cover the entire model with PS hair, then most of the flaws of the Mil Dog go away. And you can't beat free.

I took a look at the CloudLand dogs, and they worry me a bit. First off, they are pricey for what you get (meaning in terms of the market, not in terms of amount of work that went into them). Second, they require ObjAction Mover, which means there's no "out of box experience," and possibly some frustration for the marginally technical Poser newbe (dunno your level of experience there). And most important, for the price, I'd expect to see a bit more progress toward dealing with the "long hair" problem. It's off enough that it's distracting. I'd consider buying the fur tutorial that comes with the dog (but not for $30), and maybe the dogs with unusual shapes (dachshund, lion-cut poodle, pug) because the MilDog won't morph into anything that even looks crossed with them. Yeah, if I needed a Dachshund, I'd put down $30 for that and the tutorial. But I'd still feel that was a lot of money to pay for one dog morph that I was going to have to tinker with just to install.

Personally, I think I'd make my Cocker Spaniel with a Mil Dog LE and a few layers of semi-transparent cloth drapes.
