Questions & Answers
Cockapoos, being a designer breed, are renowned for their intelligence, athleticism, and loving family-friendly personalities. They’re highly adaptable, requiring minimal exercise, mixed with moderate periods of affection and stimulation, making them great apartment dogs. They vary in size, ranging from 8-30 pounds. Plus, as a hybrid breed, Cockapoos generally require less grooming than other breeds. Interestingly, because both parents are typically purebreds, the puppies are virtually identical to each other, just like identical twins.
The Cockapoo has a beautiful, unique coat that varies in texture and color depending on the breed of the parent dog. Generally, the coat is a mix of short, wavy fur with curls or kinked hair. It is often a combination of white, black, cream, or other colors. The length of the coat can range from short and wiry to a longer, more luxurious fur. The fluffiness can be anywhere from sparse to thick, ranging from a combination of wavy and curly fur to a more sleek and straight coat.
When it comes to selecting the best food for your Cockapoo, it is important to consider their nutritional requirements. Cockapoos have specific dietary needs and the best food for them should be both nutrient and calorie-dense, while meeting their individual daily nutritional needs. It is important to research what types of ingredients are best for your Cockapoo's health, taking into account their age, size, and activity level. High-quality, grain-free dog food is often recommended for Cockapoos.

Secondly, set a daily routine for your pup, including regular feeding, exercising and play sessions.
Cockapoos are a hybrid breed of dog, so their size can vary greatly. Generally speaking, Cockapoos typically range in size from under 10 pounds all the way up to around 25-30 pounds.

Cockapoos certainly do enjoy swimming and time in the water! These social dogs tend to love playtime of all kinds, and swimming is no exception. Some Cockapoos take to it like a fish to water and eagerly paddle through every pool they can find. Others may need a bit more encouragement before they're willing to try it out, but eventually even the most uptight of this breed will take a dip or two. Swimming provides Cockapoos with a great way to stay active and play.
