A video highlighting an adorable mixed-breed pup, a cross between a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel, has captured the hearts of viewers on TikTok.
The clip was shared from Fritzi (@fritzicaramelle), a TikTok account charting the dog’s varied adventures with her owners. The video has amassed over 713,000 views since it was shared on September 26. Text overlaid on the clip simply says: "Ever seen a Golden Retriever mixed with a Cocker Spaniel?”, showing a side-by-side image of the two dog breeds.
The video shows the pup lounging around in various positions in a home setting, from asleep on the floor and over a blanket to playing with a dog toy and lying on the floor with her legs in the air as a hand rubs her belly.

The pup’s mix of playful and friendly yet relaxed nature shown in the clip comes as no surprise, as golden retrievers are "exuberant” and "outgoing,” while English cocker spaniels are described to be "merry” but also "mellow at home,” according to the American Kennel Club (AKC), the largest purebred dog registry in the world.
"Goldens are outgoing, trustworthy, and eager-to-please family dogs, and relatively easy to train,” the AKC says, adding that "they take a joyous and playful approach to life and maintain this puppyish behavior into adulthood.”
"Upbeat in the field and mellow at home,” the English cocker spaniel is "widely admired for his delightful personality and irresistible good looks,” the AKC says.
"'Balance' is a key word in understanding the breed,” the AKC adds, noting that the English cocker spaniel is "balanced in temperament, construction, and movement.”
