We had a cocker when I was in college that, at about age 8, became aggressive toward my mom and brother, biting them both on the neck hard enough to draw blood.

We had a cocker when I was in college that, at about age 8, became aggressive toward my mom and brother, biting them both on the neck hard enough to draw blood. Obviously we had to euthanize him. The vet told us that the tan-colored cocker spaniels were especially prone to problems, as their light color was a result of very close breeding.
- dopamean 10y agoI had English cockers growing up. Check out rage syndrome [0]. I only first heard about it a couple of years ago and it very accurately describes the behavior I saw in our dogs. FWIW, not all of our dogs were from the same breeder. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_syndrome
