We thought about giving her away, but giving a dog away that has rage fits is not safe. The dog we had put down was half cocker and half springer. We took her to trainers, pet behavior specialist and multiple vets in St.louis and Columbus. We had her spayed and that did not help. Cockers and springers have a genitic problem from inbreeding that causes some to have "fits" of rage.
We were advised by the vet, trainer and pet behavior specialist to put her down. That was a very hard thing to do! She was really a dangerous, unpredictable dog.
