Cockers are prone genetically to Histiocytoma, which are usually (but not always) non-malignant, and tend not to undergo metastasis. They frequently reoccur at the original site. Moles could lead to melanoma. So you need to keep observing for unusual growths.

Basically due to irresponsible breeding we have a cancer crisis developing in our dogs. The incidence keeps increasing. Very few breeders are the least bit interested in keepinig histories of cancer, and taking appropriate action.
