Doesn't sound like a cockapoo. Some bad breeds try to pass of many mixes as cockapoos. Some first generation cockapoos may more closely resemble a poodle or cocker spaniel. Second generation cockapoos (who's parents were both cockapoos) will have the more "classic" cockapoo look.a little scruffy (think Benji) with wavy to curly hair. Many breeders doc their tails, so I'm not sure what a true cockerpoo's tail would look like. That bugged eyed look with a curly tail reminds me of a pug. Hmmm..a pugapoo; that's a new one.

One dog was a perfect, classic cockapoo in every way and is still with us, adorable....love the breeder. The second one was bug-eyed, long nosed, blocky body with a long curling tail... and she was pretty "crazed", would always pee in the house and the first dog, the classic cockapoo seemed to really "hate" her. (I don't believe this was a dominance thing.) We kept the second dog for 3 days and then couldn't take it any more. We sent her back as the breeder had requested but never got our money back which to this day truly ticks me off!!! That's a summary of the longer story. My question is: do you think this second cockapoo was really a mix between a poodle and a cocker spaniel or could the breeder have been pulling my leg? The dog was downright ugly, yes, I think that's fair to say and possible:) But what's with the tail that curls up over the dog's back? I've never seen a poodle's tail do that! Your thoughts? I might still have a picture of this dog. Suzanne in Boulder FREE e-Book "The Puppy Training Plan" www.puppytrainingplan.com
