In every very popular breed there are instances of dogs who are too closely bred and develop behavior problems and meanspiritedness. There are also puppy mills that produce very disturbed dogs. So I usually rely on the breed descriptions on temperment, and not anecdotal evidence. Looking at it that way, springer and cocker spaniels are lovely dogs. When my daughter was little, we adopted a puppy from the humane society, one that had been turned in already although it was only a few months old. We were confident that we could turn it around with love and attention and consistent, gentle discipline, but even though absolutely adorable, Corky was insane in a way. When you put him on the bed, instead of playing and cuddling, all he did was run in circles. He couldn't accept love. He had an attachment disorder, like those poor little children from Eastern European orphanages who are full or rage and end up being unadopted after wearing out their new families. We finally had to turn him back in. It was very sad.
