Original: There are currently three cockapoo clubs in America that are working towards developing the cockapoo by breeding successive generations, and establishing the cockapoo as a recognized breed.
Simplified: A Cockapoo (also called a Spoodle or Cockerpoo) is a hybrid dog. It is a mix of an American Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle (in most cases the Miniature Poodle or Toy Poodle), or by breeding a Cockapoo with another Cockapoo.
