    The only place in the UK that you would find a cockapoo is in a Puppy Farm or from a back-yard breeder. I'm sorry to tell you this but no responsible breeder who cares about their dogs welfare and health would ever breed a cross breed like this. Reputable breeders of Cocker Spaniels and Poodles will conduct the relevant genetic health screening on their dogs, people who breed Cockapoos do not care about the health of the dogs involved and are only out to make money. They usually keep the b1tches in terrible conditions, and make them churning out litter after litter. Generally speaking the dogs they use to breed from are substandard, ill-bred and terrible representations of the breed.

    Cocker Spaniels should be eye tested for Glaucoma prior to breeding, Poodles should be eye tested and hip-scored prior to breeding (all of these tests need to be carried out by a specialist, not a vet). Unfortunately unscrupulous people are cashing in on all these new designer crossbreeds, like cockapoo and labradoodles, and are selling pups for more than you could get a well-bred, health screened pedigree. My advice to you would be to research both Cockers and Poodles, as both are lovely breeds, then contact the relevant Breed Clubs who will put you in touch with a reputable breeder who only breeds to produce healthy, sound dogs. Buying from anyone other than a reputable breeder will only lead to heartache and very high vet bills. Check out the website below - it give you an idea how to spot a good breeder from a bad breeder.
