Cockapoo Papers — How to Get Official Registration Documents

Get Official Papers for Your Cockapoo

What Are Cockapoo Papers?

Cockapoo papers record your dog's breed, generation and ownership. The Cockapoo is a designer hybrid between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, and it is one of the oldest doodle crosses, dating back decades. The AKC does not recognize the Cockapoo as a purebred breed, but Designer Kennel Club registers it as a purebred designer dog. Cockapoos are rarely sold with registration, and owners search for papers to confirm the dog's type, size and generation. Papers give a Cockapoo a permanent official record.

Can You Get Papers for a Cockapoo Without AKC Registration?

The AKC does not register the Cockapoo, since it is a hybrid rather than a pure breed. Legacy registries follow the same rule, leaving Cockapoo owners without an official option. DKC registers Cockapoos directly through Foundation Registration, documenting every generation and issuing an official certificate without requiring AKC lineage or breeder documents.
