About the Cockapoo
The Cockapoo is a pairing between an American Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. The Cockapoo is the oldest of the designer dog breeds. They are sought after for their healthy, long lifespan.
Opening your heart and home to a designer breed, is like opening a beautifully wrapped package on your birthday: you can never be sure what’s inside. Cockapoos are bright-eyed, scruffy-coated puppies that can grow into dogs that retain a puppy-dog charm.
Cockapoos who are carefully bred and lovingly raised should be happy, affectionate dogs that love families, children, other dogs, and even cats. Designer puppies like the Cockapoo can look very different even if they're from the same littler. The Cockapoo's size, color, coat type, temperament, and activity level will vary depending on what traits an individual puppy has inherited.
Generally, they weigh less than 30 pounds and are somewhere between fluffy and scruffy in a variety of colors and markings. Like the poodle, they can also be curly. If that description seemed a little vague, it's because the Cockapoo is just that diverse.
At their best, they are friendly and affectionate, and, at weights ranging from 6 to 30 pounds, they are a comfortable size for most homes.
Cockapoos are companion dogs. They love to please and they are said to be very loyal dogs.
