First, I would get to a new Vet! I have never heard of a vet that would push someone into breeding their dog. Here are some questions that you truely need to answer before you consider breeding your dog.
First, is your dog AKC registered? If not, stop now and do not breed your dog. Even if it is registered through a different registry, it is probably not "good" breeding material.
Next, you must know the pedigree of your dog. If it does not have any champions in it, your pup is probably not worth breeding. Stop right there and do not breed your dog.
Third, check to verify if your dog falls within breed standard set by the AKC. Go to AKC.org and check out your breed. If your dog is in any way out of standard, do not breed it. This is one I really worry about with you since you state that your mom thinks she is too small!
Then, if the dog does have champions in his line, and falls within standards, take your dog into a different vet than you have been seeing and have it tested for any genetic issues that may cause it to be unfit to breed. If your vet is qualified, have the dog temperament tested also. Temperament is one of the most important attributes in a dog. If it fails any of these tests, do not breed it.
Finally, make sure that you have at least $3000 saved incase you have any problems that may arise during the pregnancy or whelping. If you can’t afford that, stop and fix the dog!
Now for my lecture....Not all dogs should be breed. Breeding takes time, energy, and a lot of money. There are so many dogs in shelters or puppy mills now, that should never have been born or breed.

Get a new vet, and spay the dog!!!!! I can assure you with 100% certainty, that your dog IS NOT breeding quality.

go to akc.org this is the american kennel club.
there you will find a list if breeders for your cocker.
hopefully your dog is full blooded and registered with the american kennel club. yes, you will have to pay the breeder or they will choose pick of the liter, it is up to the breeder that you deal with.
god bless you.

Yeah. Usually a person with a male will charge a stud fee, and then they have pick of the litter......meaning they can pick any puppy they want. This is the normal deal that is struck.

Maybe ring some breeders, they might have one that they would stud out with a fee.
