The American Cocker is pretty much worthless for hunting anymore since that instinct has been bred out of them for the most part. There are still some die hard ACS owners out there that think their dogs can run with an English Springer Spaniel or English Cocker Spaniel out in the field but it just isn't so.
Any dog can be used as a "lap dog" if you lap is big enough. Most ACS's are small enough (30 - 35 lbs) that they can fit on most laps. Why the question?

Cocker Spaniels are very proper, yet they specially circumstances have attitudes, and get spoiled actual. in any different case, it can be a brilliant playmate to your Mastiff, in case you practice it properly!

They are a little large for lap dogs. You may want to check out these similar looking but smaller dogs: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel http://www.akc.org/breeds/cavalier_king_charles_spaniel/index.cfm , Japanese Chin http://www.akc.org/breeds/japanese_chin/index.cfm , English Toy Spaniel: http://www.akc.org/breeds/english_toy_spaniel/index.cfm

My english cocker loves to lay on top of my lap (along with my 2 pits). All four of us will lay together and watch tv at night.

They could if you wanted them to. Nothing says they cant be. Unless they are too big then i would call them couch dogs. So i think if you put them on your lap they will stay there. it depends on what type of personality though.
