If you're not concerned about shedding yes. We have a pair of cocker spaniel/ jack russel mixed breed dogs. They're actually litter mates. They are wonderful with my two daughters who are 9yrs old & 11yrs old. They get along with our 3 cats. In fact they seem to think that the cats are theirs. They also get along well & spend a lot of time playing with our 7yr old Lab Staffordshire Terrier mix. They are both very playful, loyal & affectionate as well as very intelligent. They are also excellent watch dogs. They are high energy & very playful but they're also very personable & love to just lay near their people & nap. The only thing I don't like about these guys is that they shed a lot...& I mean a lot.
