My wife and I have 2 wonderful, beautiful 9-month old Cockapoos (cocker spaniel-poodle mix). We are finding that with our traveling and other commitments, we need to find someone else (or another couple or family) who would enjoy sharing them with us; having them for periods of time, but not having to take on the responsibilities of full time care. They are fairly small, house-broken and have had a loving, trauma-free life--and this breed is particularly intelligent and affectionate. They play with each much of the day, which is why we have two of them--surprisingly, this actually makes it easier to care for both of them than it would be for just one. Ideally you would be in the north Bay, so we can exchange them easily with you. We will need to be sure that they would have a loving "second home" where they have space to play, go for walks, etc.
