They are generally happy, friendly, and eager to please. The coat is typically soft and curly.Ĭockapoos are people-oriented and affectionate, and they get along well with children and other dogs, making them a great family pet. They have a well-proportioned body, straight front legs, and small, rounded paws. Cockapoos have rounded heads, bushy eyebrows, wide, dark eyes, and black noses. Most Cockapoos have a Miniature Poodle parent because the smaller dogs are most popular. Their appearance varies depending on the breeding pair, as with all hybrid breeds. If you're looking for a placid dog that will sleep for hours in front of the fire then a cockapoo is not the one for you! I love mine to bits - they are very affectionate dogs who love human company (except the postman - mine does not like him v much) and providing you put the work in, they're brilliant family dogs.The Cockapoo is the result of breeding Cocker Spaniels with Poodles. I do obedience, take him on lots of walks alone and with other owners, and do scent work and regular training with him. They are great natured but very lively and need lots of walking and stimulation. As with all breeders, do your homework - it's a popular breed (cross breed obvs) and there are disreputable breeders as a result, as there are with all the popular breeds. We got him from a breeder my DH has known for years - met both his parents, he was fully health checked with paperwork provided, all necessary vaccinations given by reputable local vets. Ours is more spaniel looking and so matting is rare - we never brush him, he's just groomed every 8 weeks. Not hypoallergenic, but very low allergy. No shedding - I've yet to meet one that does, I'm part of a regional cockapoo group and it's the one thing we all enjoy not having to deal with. ChenPup is 10.5kg so a perfect size for me. We have a cockapoo - mum is a cockapoo and dad is a miniature poodle. She barely makes any money with vet care etc. She has a waitlist and only has a litter when the waitlist is longer than 15, so every pup is guaranteed a good home. My neighbour breeds, one litter every two years, two litter max per bitch. If you can get a cockerpoo straight away chances are it’s not a decent breeder. Of course many people don’t care and are fine with puppy farms, but personally they wouldn’t be getting my money.Ī decent breeder will have a wait list. You need to be extremely careful and really look in to where the puppies come from. No breed checks for health, no limits on number of litters, they can just churn them out in a shed in the garden. Lastly cross breeds are puppy farm/unethical breeders money makers. They aren’t hypoallergenic, and there’s a 75% chance they will shed. A lot of groomers hate them as it’s difficult to keep on top of, then they have to deal with the consequences. Firstly if a puppy ends up with the worst traits of both breeds would you be ok with that? All cross breed puppies are different because some are more cocker, some poodle, and on a sliding scale between.Īre you ok with the demands of grooming? They need combed through every day, they need very regular professional grooms.
