Cockapoos are also SO popular that most of these dogs are from tit breeders or puppy farms. You will be hard pressed to find a knowledgable and experienced cockapoo breeder.
define “
tit breeder” though?
Will they be KC registered and professional? Probably not, since it’s not a KC recognised breed
will it be someone who has decided to breed a family pet? Probably, dos that make them a
tit breeder? I don’t think so. You’re just as likely to get any popular breed at a puppy farm sadly, as you are a cockapoo.
professional breeders IMO are worse than people who breed their pet as a one off. I’ve adopted dogs from shelters, had dogs from pro breeders and had dogs from hobby breeders.
the best dogs I’ve had, temperament wise, were from hobby breeders.
when I was hand raising orphaned poppies and volunteering with dogs I reached out to the “breeding” community and I’ve never come across a nastier, more vindictive group of people in my life. IME half of them never do the things they are supposed to, like welfare and background checks. It’s a money maker to them ultimately. The hobbyists see the puppies as an extension of their own pet and are a bit more emotionally involved and concerned for the welfare of puppies in my experience, but obviously that’s subjective.
In short, being a professional with a licence does not make someone a “good” breeder
