About the Cockapoo breed

Generations explained 

A Cockapoo is a mixed dog breed, either between an american cocker spaniel and a poodle or an english cocker spaniel and a poodle. 

There are several different mixtures of crossing a Cockapoo, these are explained in the following: 

• F1: A Cockapoo bred by crossing a poodle and a cocker spaniel.
• F2: Cockapoos bred with two F1 parents.
• F3: Cockapoos bred with two F2 parents.
• F4: Cockapoos bred with two F3 parents.
• F1b: Cockapoos bred with a first-generation Cockapoo and either a cocker spaniel or a poodle.
• F2b: Cockapoos bred with an F1 Cockapoo and an F1b Cockapoo, or an F2 Cockapoo and a poodle or a cocker spaniel.
• The “F” number listings go on infinitely – and so a tenth-generation Cockapoo would be an F10.

Nugget is a mix between an american Cocker Spaniel and a F1 Cockapoo, meaning she is a F1b Cockapoo.
