History Of The Breed
The cockapoo got its start in the United States by a breeder in the 1960s, although some claims have it starting in the 1950s. Unlike many designer dogs that are crossbred intentionally, the cockapoo is believed to have been an unintentional creation. This mix resulted in puppies that had the hypoallergenic traits of the poodle and the easy-going temperament of the cocker spaniel. After seeing these results, it is thought that this is when intentional breeding began. They have been purposely bred with the goal of creating a dog that does not have the same genetic health defects as its parent breeds, who wanted a companion dog that was allergy friendly.

Types Of Cockapoos
While there is only one specific breed type of Cockapoo, they are available in different types, called generations. Depending on how they are bred, meaning who their parent dogs are, you can have many mixes. There are many different types that you can choose from: (F= Filial; 1 or 2 = Generation; B= Backcross)
- F1 – bred from a purebred Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel
- F1B – created by crossing an F1 Cockapoo with a purebred Poodle
- F2 – this is created when two F1 Cockapoos are bred together
- F2B – created by crossing an F1 Cockapoo with an F1B Cockapoo OR by crossing an F2 Cockapoo with a purebred Poodle
There are also 3 different sizes to select from as well. This breed comes in toy, mini and standard. The size is dependent on which poodle they were bred with.
