[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a Cocker Spaniel Cavalier mix. For the most part he was a great dog, but[b] he did have occasional issues with Cocker rage[/b] and ended developing a heart murmur. We had to put him down at 10 due to congestive heart failure and it was horrible. With how common heart problem are with spaniels, I don't think we would get another.[/quote] This is a thing. Unfortunately Cocker Spaniels pretty much always make the list of "Top Ten Dog Breeds Responsible for Dog Bites." A well-trained CS isn't necessarily a dangerous dog, but I wouldn't want one that hasn't been trained and well socialized around children. (Yeah, yeah, of course all dogs are supposed to be trained and socialized, but I bet the percentage of families getting puppies that intend to train their dogs and never do is very, very high -- and if your family falls into this camp and wants a spaniel, I'd go with a CKC instead of a CS to avoid the chance of biting.)[/quote]
