Trisha and Marla share several inherited traits typical of cocker spaniels, such as their friendly disposition, intelligence, and eagerness to please their owners. Both dogs have soft, wavy coats that are characteristic of the breed, but they differ in their coloration: Trisha is light brown with white spots while Marla is white with black markings. In terms of learned behaviors, Trisha demonstrates her playful nature by eagerly fetching a tennis ball when invited to play, while Marla showcases her agility and enthusiasm by leaping in the air to catch a Frisbee. These actions highlight their individual personalities as well as the training they've received.
