"Cocker" in the breed name "Cocker Spaniel" comes from the "cock" part of "woodcock" - the game that the Cocker Spaniel was first bred to hunt, flush and retrieve.
Yes. they should do :) They are a lovely breed of dog. The only aggressive Cocker spaniels I have met are golden cockers. But if you've had a cocker spaniel for many years, and then decide to bring home a puppy, they might get a little jealous. So be careful. but if you get them the same time. it should be fine :) x
