Are Cockapoo's good dogs??

are they very good dogs??? And are they very easy to find??
Answers:
Cockapoos are a mix between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, so you should research both breeds and know that you could get any traits from either breed.
I have personally met cockapoos that are sweet, friendly, happy, little dogs, and I have met others that are nervous, barky, dogs. That depends on the kind of socialization that the pups are given, as well as their environment from birth. Good, responsible breeders will breed good, healthy, happy puppies, and bad breeders will not. Cockers and poodles are both prone to many health problems, so make sure that both parents have cleared their health testings.
There are many cockapoo breeders, as well as rescues that need good homes. If you want to rescue, check www.poomixrescue or www.petfinder.com. For a list of breeders, you could search the internet, or try looking through the list that comes up on www.dogbreedinfo.com.
Good luck!
no they are NOT.. they are a mixed breed made by breeding an inferior quality cocker spaniel to an inferior quality poodle,,, health and temperament issues abound.. stay clear
As far as I know they are easy to find. As some could imagine the mixing of breeds can sometimes cause health problems. I used to be a groomer, and a lot of the cockapoo's I dealt with had health problems and could easily become agressive.
Cockapoo? Isn't that a bird or one of those Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mixes?
Depends on the breeding. A good cockerspaniel bred to a good poodle would produce a good mixed puppy.

I'd either go get yourself a purebred or a shelter pup. If you're using the term cockapoo, you're prolly expecting to pay a lot. These are nota breed, they are a mutt, in the kindest way possible. Don't support this breeder. Even the petstore selling primarily from puppy mills has better morals than to sell a mutt under a cute name for a lot of money.
Cockapoos are fantastic dogs. I have two of them myself. they tend to be small and easy to care for they don't need to be walked much and they have a very sweet temperment. It isn't very easy to find them but you can probably find one in your area. mine was pretty close to me and easy to find i just searched google cockapoos-in-(where you live)
WHO CARES if iti s a good dog or not...it would just be real fun to run around asking people to pet my Cockapoo!!!
Since they are MUTTS, not an actual breed of dog, they are not consistent in conformation, health or temperament, so it is impossible to predict how they will turn out. Since no responsible breeder would ever purposely breed a mutt, they are bred by backyard breeders who are out to make a buck and use poor quality dogs, and do no health screening or genetic testing. Please don't support the unethical practices of breeding mutts and dubbing them with a "designer dog" name to scam puppy buyers. You can get a healthy, quality dog of either breed from a responsible breed for the same price or more than likely, less.
