That is veryyy frustrating.
Some people seriously just don't know. There's so many people out there completely un-educated and it's sad, really.
I mean... I wouldn't be FAR as educated as I am if it wasn't for this website but I still knew the responsibilities and basics of owning a dog.
Cockapoos actually CAN look like all poodles though. That's the risk you take when getting mixes. Our familys cockapoo looked more cocker than poodle but you never know.
