Cockapoo Colours: Puppies Can Be Multi Coloured
Two tone Cockapoos are often described as having a “black tuxedo”, for example, if they are predominantly black with a white torso.
Cockapoos often have intricate markings and appear patchy. They can also have freckle type spots called “ticking”.
American Cockapoos can have a merle coat, inherited from the American Cocker Spaniel and not yet seen in the UK. This makes the coat appear to have a mottled affect.
