Hello & welcome!
My girls are both crossed with show cockers so i'm afraid I cannot recommend a breeder, but I hope you find your perfect puppy really soon! I bet you're really excited
I'm sure the two links that Sarah has posted will help you a lot before & after getting your cockapoo
& feel free to ask for any advice you need, there is always someone with knowledge

Some people believe the 'cocker rage' a myth
I don't think there is any proof that show cockers can be more aggressive than others.
So don't base your breed entirely on this, if you find a breeder with breeding dogs with good temperments then I wouldn't worry, just don't base a puppy on one issue that doens't have solid proof. :/

I understand you have small children & you obviously need to consider that, of course! The children come first, I just haven't met anyone on here with cockapoos crossed with show cockers who have had any problems. All puppies nip obviously, you have to try & discourage that in any way you can, but other than that you should be absolutely fine with either cross It's whichever you prefer at the end of the day
There will always be breeders out there that you like & dislike so don't get too frustrated, jut keep an eye out for the 'right' one & you will be very happy when your puppy finally comes home & so will your kids!

Would experienced people say that a F1b, bred back to a Poodle would or should shed less?

It 'should' mean that they will shed less, although you can never fully guarantee, it should mean the the coat will be curlier, which generally means the coat will shed less than a straighter coat. Hop eyou find 'your' pup
