Norseman apparently has the only sane working cocker known to man, my two are little sods (or spaniels acting true to their nature). I would caution against a working springer as a first dog, they can be delightful or a bit of a handful. I would also think carefully about any show spaniel, because of indiscriminate inbreeding (a bit like half the humans in this village).
Just get a good sensible labrador, which will probably prove to be equally bonkers.
That's the thing with spanners, they do have to be kept busy. My two are convinced that they are always the biggest dogs in the building, whereas the labs are fully aware that they themselves are toy poodles. Dogs don't do mirrors.
