My mum wants a cockapoo

I'm hoping shes changing her mind, but if not, what health tests should she look for? I dont have a clue, other than we had a cocker when I was a kid and sadly she was a physical wreck, so I'm assuming there must be specific tests?
 
A friend of mine has a cockapoo. It is a lovely little dog, but looks absolutely nothing like the one posted earlier! She knows one of it's litter mates and that looks nothing like either dog too!

Im not sure which rescue to refer to, but we have had our fair share a labrador x poodles (various sizes and colours):rolleyes: and we get plenty of cocker x spaniels (we send them to the prison service if young enough) because they are usually akin to a human on speed;)
And most rescue will state X breed (not the poncey poo add on);), and there are so many variations, how would you know exactly what it is without being told?
Are you also familiar with labradoodle rescue?

We now have a 1 year old border x yorki (1 I mentioned above) and a 16 week old as of a few hours ago (oh the joys) I might put them on as Borkies and see if I can triple the donation:rolleyes:, which would actually then pay for the neuter, vax, chip, flea treatment/de worming, petrol for home check and feeding till it's rehomed.:rolleyes:

Oh, can I also add a 2 year old pregnant j.r.t, mated with another j.r.t (spay me thinks):)
 
This is a list of conditions for which DNA or DNA marker tests exist -

There are also inherited conditions for which DNA tests are not yet available eg Hip displasia, Sebacious adenitis, patella luxation and a craoss breed can have these.

I groom a Mutt -owners call it a F2 Labradoodle - which has HD & SA & I suspect eyesight problems - he is not yet three. They paid £1,000 as a puppy and when asked why they didn't buy a standard poodle they said they don't like the way they are trimmed!!

It's hair -you can cut it however you like (as long as you brush it)
