Oliver's "Lineage"

We have all been wondering. People ask me when they meet Oliver. Along with "How old is he?"  I get, "WHAT is he?"  Even the vets are stumped. Well, be stumped no more!

Many of these traits are no surprise. I've been pretty sure, because of his pork chop ears, excessive shedding, and the spots that show on his back when I trim him short, that he had some kind of cocker in him. I am surprised though that there seems to be so much cocker there! And the Irish Wolfhound? Talk about random!  It does explain Oliver's height. He's not big, by any means, but he is not as short as a typical cocker, either.

Still no answer on where the big fluffy curly tail comes from.
