Thank you all for your warm welcome messages and the information.

@Jane: I would be interested in the breeder's info, thank you.

After reading some posts and threads on this forum, we are now having second thoughts regarding Cockapoos because of the rage syndrome issue. We want to be very careful because we have children, and after having talked to another breeder today, I am more than convinced that some just don't know what they are doing. I know that no consensus exists as what RS exactly is, but that should not mean that the problem can just be ignored. I was, however, positively surprised by the position taken by JD.

Well, the search continues, now accompanied with a lot of extra reading.

Hello CPlove

What has been the main problem you have been finding with the breeders you have contacted?

What was the position taken by JD that you were positively surprised about?

Cocker rage was initially aimed at the golden coloured male cockers but evidence now suggests as Wellerfeller has said rage applies to many breeds in various disguises.

I have not heard of any cockapoos suffering from RS- so I would think the % would be very very small otherwise it would be more talked about in the cockapoo circles and forums and by breeders.

Funnily enough I have over the last couple of years done many debates with people who are anti-crossbreeding and cockapoos but RS in cockapoos hasn't been mentioned before although many other assumptions have.

For you CP love think you will have to weigh up the risks for your own circumstances but would be very doubtful that your queries to RS in cockapoos can be answered with such clarity as many are doubtful that such a syndrome exists.
