All I can say is if you are looking for THE happiest dog. With THE Waggiest Tail, THE loveliest disposition, THE most loyal devoted companion, THE friendliest nature, THE most intelligent, one that is super with children THE funniest clown, with an irrepressible love of life then it HAS to be a cockerpoo. :D
I second that!! And LOVES to give lots and lots of kisses

 
And the bouncing, the running and the digging :eek:

Is your wife convinced yet?
Cockapoos are lovely dogs and their joyous approach to life is infectious, you can't help but smile when they are with you... even when they've destroyed your garden and marched mud through your house!

Kiki is not a cockapoo, but a cavapoodliepoo (75% poodle 25% CKC)
She is often mistaken for a cockapoo and obviously her poodlie side is shared :)

I'm including her here because these pics demonstrate her love to be active. In the house she is a cuddlebug, as is Dot who is cockapoo. But outside they are very active.
They love their walks. Runnning, jumping, swimming, chasing, racing, retrieving. I think it is important that you also appreciate this side of their personalities and are ready for it. I love, love, love walking my dogs

Some great action shots from you there marzi -
Is that Kiki doing the timed dummy retrieval? & Lizzie at the end encouraging??
Yes Kiki was flying down the Gun Dog scurry. Unfortunately she dropped the retrieve article, but as far as she is concerned it is Inzi's job to fetch things!
Kiki needs very little encouragement to run and jump, but Lizzie was certainly cheering her on :p

The gun dog scurry!! I couldn't remember it's name, I may put Ralph in at a game fair this year, he really only brings balls back so I can't imaging us getting a good timing :D
Good on Lizzie! X

Most places we go they are happy for you to put your ball rather than their dummy at the end of the run. Inzi would be brilliant at it, but she has an absolute phobia of silent dog whistles (who knows why) we have given up taking her places where there are gun dog displays as so many of them use those whistles.

I'm sure Ralph would love it. I wondered if the straw bails would be too huge for Kiki - the middle ones in the run are two stacked up - but she just pings on and off them - honestly she is airborne almost the entire way!
 
It's simple enough - get a cockapoo and your wife will be eternally grateful! We have Billy who is 2.5 years now. He arrived in our lives at 8 weeks and completed our family. We were smitten within hours and this has grown into the fact that we love him - and he loves us.
Playmate, walking companion, confidante, friend and always there with a big smile and the waggiest tail!
Just get one...and here's why:

What is not to like?, they are fantastic fun and love everyone, a Cockapoo will love you both to bits and will make you laugh everyday, how could she resist?!!
- ok there is the drawback that they love to get really mucky (doesn't every dog though?), can be a bit naughty (still fun) and the coat does take a bit of work but worth it...

 
As puppies they're hard work, but so cute and once they have grown up a little they are delightfully affectionate, fun, cuddly and totally gorgeous to look at!

My dog sitter has said that after having an Airedale terrier, a lurcher and looking after a variety of other people's dogs including Dalmatians, labradoodle and staffordshire bull terriers, the only dog she would ever have now is a cockapoo <3 all thanks to Tilly being gorgeous!

Here are a few photos and a link to Tilly's new movie that I just finished!
