What is a Cockapoo?

Our Cockapoos (called 'Spoodles' in most other countries) come from a cross between an American Cocker Spaniel and a toy poodle. The resulting hybrid is especially awesome because it provides what is known as "hybrid vigor", which helps to drown out bad recessive traits (such as genetically passed disorders that are so common in the inbred breeding stock found in many purebred lines). 

Get more in-depth about the history of this breed, the characteristics and the explanation of "hybrid vigor" at the full-length article here:
