Are cocker spaniel temperamental?
cocker spaniels are temperemental and very vicious at times ^ this is not true! We have always had cocker spaniels and they are very very friendly, brill with children and strangers and extremely loyal. They are excellently well behaved and easy to train but can be full of energy. -I agree with the first statement. Every Cocker I have been around has been very temperamental and the one I currently have to deal with is very aggressive, even with his owner of 8 years that has owned him since he was a puppy. I am not saying that every cocker is mean or temperamental, but a good number of them are and from what I have read online and have been told by my professors (in veterinarian classes and animal behavior classes) you are more likely to be bitten by a cocker spaniel than most other breeds.
