My in-laws are getting a black cocker spaniel puppy and I'm a little concerned about the risk of aggressiveness, particularly rage, in this breed. They are getting the pup from a friend of a friend so I don't know anything about the breeder of the dog or his lines. I am also worried about the puppy in general because my in-laws aren't physically fit enough to take him out for long walks, so he will have to get most of his exercise in their garden.
I realise a lot of people have cockers that are gentle and friendly but at the same time the cocker spaniel is known for the rage issue and I have a 14-month-old baby so I just want to get an idea of whether this is something that has been blown out of proportion.
