Spaniels have been bred as hunting dogs in England for about 500 years.
The first identification of a "Cocker" Spaniel dates to the 1850's, though the breed was certainly around long before official breeding records were kept.

Yes! I also have a male cocker spaniel named Jake! Cocker spaniel's are very outgoing happy dogs and it is good easy to learn name!
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
