There’s something called ‘Springer Spaniel rage’...where the spaniel snaps, goes beserk, and it’s unpredictable. Not as widely known as pit bull attacks. This story is tragic, and bottom line, anyone with children shouldn’t own a pit bull. With a dog like that, as with any potentially dangerous breed, you have to take sensible precautions. Control of the dog at all times.
Funny, I just spoke with a girl yesterday who had been attacked by a Springer Spaniel as a child.
I hadn't heard anything about that breed being a problem (unlike say, dalmations).
