My male pup (10 months old English Springer Spaniel) has always squatted to pee but just the other day while out on a walk with my wife he tried to cock his leg for the first time and almost fell over mid-pee! According to my wife she almost fell over too.......from laughing so hard. Poor little tyke, trying to pee like a grown up and he gets laughed at!
I think I've read that for male canines the stand and cock a leg versus squatting is due mainly due to age and if they have made that trip to to the Vet. My hound Harry always adopted a hint of squat as he had been done.
