I believe there is a tiny bit of mostly forgotten research about so-called "Cocker Rage Syndrome" in cocker spaniels and other breeds, or Sudden Onset Aggression, a possibly seizure-related or disorder, which has been most extensively researched by Dr Ilana Reisner. Her work traces this form of...

I brought home a 12 week old male cocker spaniel puppy the other day and when I picked him up from the breeder (who also breeds labs, pomeranians and mini dachshunds so he has plenty of socialization experience) and even on the car ride, he seemed like a typical puppy, wanting to explore the...

Posting this on behalf of a friend who has a 8 month old cocker spaniel, Tucker. She took him to the vet when she noticed he was looking very thin and despite feeding him more he was not putting on weight. He had several blood, urine and faeces tests (cost almost £500 altogether) and they...

Hi. I am basically wanting some advice as I am living with my friend who has a 6 month old male cocker spaniel, and next month I will be bringing home a 2 month old labrador. I'm still undecided on whether to go for a female or male pup, so would like to know which would work better - female 2...

Hello, I am the owner of a cute and adorable American Cocker Spaniel. She is 6 years old, and I got her from a shelter one year ago on my birthday. She is the cutest and smartest thing in the whole world. Here name is Annabelle, after the poet Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Annabel Lee". She was a very...

I am at my wit's end. I brought home this adorable 6 year old American Cocker Spaniel about a year ago from a shelter, and she was a little fearful (she is not as fearful now). It seems as if her previous owners did not get her house-trained. I have tried everything. I never hit her, and if I...

I have a 6 month old Cocker Spaniel female puppy (spayed) who has recently started being very aggressive towards other dogs. She is the sweetest puppy but for some reason she attacks other dogs. Here's the basics: This happens both on and off leash. She will quickly go up to another dog...

Hi, I stay in New Delhi, India. I have a 5 month old male Cocker Spaniel named Maui, who's supposedly an English Cocker. I bought him from a vet for Rs 10,000 i.e 221$. What is bothering me is the fact that Maui has absolutely no fur or hair on his body unlike other Cocker Spaniels that I have...

Hi Everyone, My family and I recently adopted a 2-2 1/2 yr old Cocker Spaniel, Sunny, from a rescue center. I was told that he was abused, neglected, starved and left tied up out side his entire life. He had no training whatsoever. It was pretty much like having a puppy in the house. He is...

Hi, we have a 6 month old puppy. Each time he's alone for a long period of time (say 2 hours) and then he sees someone he pees from excitement. It's a pure breed Cocker Spaniel. Is that normal and is it going to stop? Thanks, Edan Aharony.
