Hi, my name is Rachael and like so many others on this site, me and my family would dearly love a Cockapoo, and so the search has begun! Although we have had dogs previously, we are new to Cockapoos, but from reading about their temperament and characteristics they sound ideal for our family, beside the fact they are of course absolutely gorgeous dogs!

We're ideally looking for a male - either black or chocolate - pup and although we live in the South Yorkshire area we are willing to travel for the right pup!

Any guidance or advice in finding the right pup would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Rachael and welcome! You will find lots of interesting advice to read on The Cockapoo Club of GB website, which might be worth a look. There are various posts on this forum about breeders all over the country, I believe Turi has a list somewhere

Good luck with your search! xx

Hello - We bought our first Cockapoo last April and she is gorgeous so you have chosen the right breed. Have you looked at www.breedersonline.co.uk as they have a lot of puppies for sale and seems to be one of the sites lots of people prefer. Good luck with your search

Hi & welcome!

Do you know what cockapoo cross you're after?
English chow cocker x miniature poodle, English working cocker x miniature poodle or an American cocker x miniature poodle (all can be crossed with toy poodles to make them smaller - although no as commonly found in the English cocker breeders).

Where abouts in Yorkshire do you live? I live about 20-30 minutes from Leeds

Yes lola24 is Katies username & she lives in York & has a pup from her first litter that is over 6 months old now I think.
