Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

Buying a Cockapoo puppy

Looking at Cockapoo puppies for sale? Start with the parents rather than the puppies. Ask which generation the litter is: the Cockapoo Club of GB regards the F1 cross of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle as the most consistent, while later generations can vary more. Ask to see both parents' DNA results for prcd-PRA, plus the other tests the RKC lists for each parent breed. Puppies should be at least eight weeks old, microchipped, and seen with their mother where they were born. Coats range from straight to tightly curled, so plan for regular brushing and professional clipping whatever an advert says about shedding. Cockapoos cannot go on the RKC Breed Register, although crossbreeds can join its Activity Register, and the club's approved breeders register their litters with the Cockapoo Club of GB. Compare breeders listed on caninebreeder.co.uk and read our buyer safety guide first.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC does not publish a health test list for the Cockapoo, because it is not a recognised breed. The sensible approach is to test each parent for the conditions the RKC recommends for its own breed. The BVA canine health schemes accept crossbred as well as pedigree dogs, and the eye scheme does not require RKC registration.

Progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA) appears on the lists for both the Cocker Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle. It is recessive, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents, which is why both parents should be DNA tested. AMS, FN and AON are listed for the Cocker, and OC for the Poodle. These still matter: in F1b, F2 and later generations both parents can have Cocker or Poodle ancestry, and so can carry the same variants. The Cockapoo Club of GB sets a minimum health testing standard before it will register a litter. Both parent breeds are in Breed Watch Category 1, with no breed-specific points of concern. Testing lowers the risk of inherited disease but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

RKC recommendations for the Cocker Spaniel:

  • Prioritising genetic diversity: Good Practice
  • DNA test for acral mutilation syndrome (AMS): Good Practice
  • DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA): Good Practice
  • DNA test for adult-onset neuropathy (AON): Best Practice
  • DNA test for familial nephropathy (FN): Best Practice
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, including gonioscopy for PLA: Best Practice
  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme: Best Practice

RKC recommendations for the Miniature Poodle (all Best Practice):

  • DNA test for osteochondrodysplasia (OC)
  • DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
