What do you get if you mate two Cockapoos?
F2s
When two Cockapoos are mated together they produce the next generation known as F2s. It is possible that a small number of the litter may have what is called the ‘Grandad effect’.
What does F2B Cockapoo mean?
An F2B Cockapoo is a second generation Cockapoo back bred once to a Poodle. This increases the odds of a puppy having more Poodle traits, and makes their coat more predictable than the F2 Cockapoo generation.
Are two Cockapoos better than one?
Having a second Cockapoo means your dog will always have a playmate.
