Hello Dandelion ... We meet again ... ... When you say spaniel, I assume you mean a Cocker Spaniel ... and this is how Cocker Spaniels are described ... English Cocker Spaniel " ... The classic temperament of the English Cocker Spaniel is that of the "Merry Cocker." English Cocker Spaniels are friendly, affectionate, and loyal. This is most obviously displayed in the incessant tail wagging of a happy English Cocker Spaniel. They are good with children and make wonderful companion dogs ..." American Cocker Spaniel " ... Merry and endearing. A happy tail-wagger. Gentle and trusting, with average intelligence. They are lively, playful and devoted, but should be socialized well when they are young to avoid a tendency for timidity. Cockers love everyone and need people to be happy ..." You might like to check these websites ... www.faqs.org/faqs/dogs-faq/breeds/englishcockers/ www.dogbreedinfo.com/americancocker.htm The Cocker Spaniel is not a "very fierce dog" ... they are loving, gentle dogs that love their owners and being with their owners, and friendly to everyone ... In fact, if you find a fierce Cocker, I would suggest that something is wrong with the Cocker ... Most dogs get more territorial when they start to leave puppyhood and approach adulthood ... that would be about 8 to 12 months ... Cheers
