The Complete Cockapoo Health Screening Checklist
What to Ask Your Breeder Before You Commit
Avoid costly health problems, heartbreak, and puppy farm scams by asking the right questions from the start
You’ve fallen in love with the idea of bringing home a Cockapoo puppy.
But how do you know if a breeder is truly responsible? What health tests should the parent dogs have? And what are the warning signs that should make you walk away?
The truth is, not all breeders prioritize health and welfare. Some cut corners on health testing, breed dogs too frequently, or raise puppies in poor conditions—all while charging premium prices.
The questions you ask now can mean the difference between:
✅ A healthy, confident puppy who becomes your beloved companion for 15+ years
❌ Years of expensive vet bills, behavioral problems, and heartbreak
You don’t need to be an expert to choose wisely. You just need the right checklist.
Inside This Free Checklist, You’ll Discover:
✅ The exact questions to ask breeders (with specific wording so you sound confident and informed)
✅ Essential health certificates to request for both parent dogs—including hip scores, patella grades, eye tests, and DNA screening
✅ What the numbers actually mean—ideal ranges, acceptable scores, and red flags for each health test
✅ Temperament assessment questions to ensure you’re choosing a puppy from confident, well-adjusted parents
✅ Breeder practice red flags that signal puppy farms, irresponsible breeding, or welfare concerns
✅ Complete documentation checklist for before purchase and when collecting your puppy
Don’t Make These Costly Mistakes
Every year, thousands of families bring home Cockapoo puppies without asking the right questions.
Within months, they discover:
❌ Their puppy has hip dysplasia or luxating patellas requiring expensive surgery
❌ Chronic ear infections and digestive problems from poor breeding
❌ Severe separation anxiety or fearfulness that affects quality of life
❌ The breeder won’t return calls or offer support when problems arise
These problems are often preventable—if you know what to look for before you commit.
Hip scores, patella grades, DNA tests, and temperament assessments exist for a reason. Responsible breeders invest in these tests because they care about producing healthy, confident puppies.
But many breeders skip these steps entirely—and hope you won’t ask.
From One Cockapoo Parent to Another...
“This checklist gave me the confidence to ask the tough questions. I walked away from two breeders who couldn’t provide health certificates—and I’m so glad I did. I eventually found a responsible breeder, and my puppy is thriving.”
