GOLDEN COCKER SPANIEL, DOG, MAXIMUM CARD, MAXICARD, CARTE MAXIMUM Bulgaria

The red/golden cocker spaniel has the worst temperament of all cockers.
I would NOT choose this as my pet.
"A link between coat colour and temperament has been proposed.^[14] This link could be the colour pigment melanin, which is biochemically similar to chemicals that act as transmitters in the brain. A study made by the University of Cambridge involving over 1,000 Cocker Spaniel households throughout Britain concluded that solid colour Cockers were more likely to be aggressive in 12 out of 13 situations. Red/golden Cockers were shown to be the most aggressive of all, in situations involving strangers, family members, while being disciplined, and sometimes for no apparent reason.^[15][16] A study by Spanish researchers at theAutonomous University of Barcelona revealed a similar link between golden Cockers and aggression. Males were also more likely to be aggressive. The study found the English Cocker Spaniel to have the highest level of owner- and stranger- directed aggression compared to other breeds.^[16][17]

[edit]Rage Syndrome

For more details on this topic, see Rage syndrome.

Rage Syndrome is described as when a dog attacks suddenly and savagely, without any warning and during the attack the dog often has a glazed look and appears to be unaware of its surroundings. Studies have found it is more common in solid colored Cockers than in particolors and also more common in darker colored Cockers than lighter coloured Cockers, being most common in solid orange and black colored spaniels. Male orange spaniels are not recommended as a family pet and should never be left alone with children. Rage syndrome is most often associated with the Show Cocker Spaniel breed, although cases have been found in other breeds and cases are relatively rare even within the Cocker Spaniel breed. Rage syndrome cannot be accurately predicted and can only be diagnosed by EEG or genetic testing and these tests are not conclusive. ^[18][19]"

As former owners of cocker spaniels, why don't you, Oprah Winfrey and Charlize Theron, tell us about your experience?

I know why: coz in your ivory tower you'll never read this post.

Unless an assistant brings it to your attention to comment here.
