@HatBeard I know almost nothing about dogs. However felt moved to post as my parents have a cockapoo and while great e.g. super loving verging on needy, doesn't shed, good with children, pretty obedient/trainable, it is very high energy and requires approaching 2 hrs exercise a day. Suspect it is a bit of a lottery, as with the size, as to how much cocker and how much poodle you get. I 'think' (might be a lie) cavapoo's are meant to need less exercise but have many of the same traits. Worth also noting the neediness can make it hard to leave them for may length of time, though probably not a major issue for your mum by the sound of it.

It’s only one dog rather than a statistically significant sample, but my cavapoo is a wild thing, a massively energetic hunter who needs a couple of hours proper exercise daily. Inside the house, however, he’s a complete lapdog who can’t do without physical contact.

That sounds similar to my parents, often you will be doing something link the washing up and realise he is stood behind you just to be close! Internet suggests I am 'right' but also of the lottery of the mix meaning difficult to have certainty.
