OK. I will say from the start I have never owned a Spaniel but..... I was chatting with a chap today who was telling me that there is such a thing as 'Spaniel Rage' and it occurs in single coloured Spaniels. He also went on to tell me how a Spaniel had got the hump/rage and had bit a digit off its owner's hand. Has anyone else come across 'Spaniel Rage' in single coloured Spaniels?
I would admit that I did chuckle when he was telling me the story (I know - I am a bad person), but since he works in the medical profession I do believe the story to be true, and it did raise the question of how frequent does this rage occur (apart from 'once per dog before meeting a vet and a syringe for the long walk' being the likely answer)?
Please - I am not having a dig at single coloured Spaniels, or their owners, or trying to ruin the trade in one colour Spaniels. But has anyone else heard of this 'Spaniel Rage' or had experience of it? It was the first I had heard of it.
