If you’re thinking of introducing a Cockapoo puppy to your household, choosing the right breeder is an important first step. With their affectionate personalities and playful nature, Cockapoos are popular family companions. However, understanding how your puppy has been bred and raised is essential.
Before buying a Cockapoo puppy, ask about the breeder's licence, health testing, parent dogs, early socialisation and veterinary care. Reputable Cockapoo breeders should be transparent about their practices and happy to answer your questions.
At Rosedale Doodles, we're passionate about raising happy, healthy puppies and helping families make informed decisions.
Is the Cockapoo Breeder Licensed and Experienced?
One of the first questions to ask is whether the breeder holds an appropriate breeding licence.
A licensed breeder must meet specific welfare and care standards, providing reassurance about the environment in which puppies are raised.
At Rosedale Doodles, we're proud to hold a five-star breeding licence. Our family has over 40 years of breeding experience, and we've been breeding Cockapoos since 2005.

What Health Tests Have Been Carried Out?
Responsible Cockapoo breeders should be able to explain which health tests have been completed on the parent dogs.
Cockapoos can inherit conditions associated with their Cocker Spaniel and Poodle ancestry, making appropriate health screening particularly important.
At Rosedale Doodles, our stud dogs undergo DNA testing for several inherited conditions, including progressive retinal atrophy and von Willebrand disease.
Our puppies also receive veterinary health checks, their first vaccinations and microchips before leaving for their new homes.
How Are Cockapoo Puppies Socialised?
Early socialisation helps puppies become familiar with everyday experiences, sounds and interactions, supporting their confidence as they grow.
Ask breeders how puppies are introduced to people, household noises and different environments.
At Rosedale Doodles, our puppies experience early socialisation and attentive care in our purpose-designed facilities, surrounded by six acres of outdoor space.
Can You Meet the Puppy's Parents?
Meeting the parents can provide valuable insight into their temperament, appearance and behaviour.
At Rosedale Doodles, we encourage our existing customers to visit and meet our dogs, with visits carefully managed to protect the health of your puppy.
You can also explore our Cockapoo puppies and learn more about their characteristics.
