Hey, justhangn... a cockerpoo is a mutt, not a breed. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not trying to be a smart-arse. The offspring of two purebred parents of different breeds is a mixed breed, also known as a mutt.
Kimmy, what is it about the cockerpoo that you like? Would you be satisfied with a purebred poodle OR cocker spaniel? Or perhaps a similar-looking dog from the pound that could really use a home?
Sorry, it just gets my drawers in a knot when people create a mixed breed, give it a cutesy name, and sell it for $300. Mixed breeds happen enough without the encouragement of a "breeder".

Could you show me some information that supports this? Just curious because every site I've ever seen lists the Cockerpoo as a breed.

Actually it is a "cockapoo." There are different registrations but I don't think as yet it's recognized by the AKC. I don't put a whole lot of stock in what the AKC recognizes since they are mostly about confirmation in the breed.

The breed doesn't seem to be AKC certified, but it is recognized by the NACR, CCA.

Thanks for the links, Sea. I'm still a little confused--there are links to support both the "breed" and the "mutt."

I just asked a simple question and I am VERY SORRY that I got some people panties in a bunch. Just wanted a dog that does not shed that does not get to big and is good with kids. A cockapoo was the first thing that came to mind.

Yorkshire Terrier. My Yorkie is 5 months old, he weighs about 4 lbs right now, and he probably won't weigh much more than 5lbs when he's full grown. They also don't shed and are good with children.
Not trying to talk you out of the Cockapoo though
