Questions & Answers
Cockapoos are exceptionally unique and interesting dogs due to their hybrid origins. They are a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, which produces a canine with intelligence, a loving personality, and a variety of fun coat colors and textures. Additionally, Cockapoos are often very low shedders, which makes them an ideal pet for those who are prone to allergies. They also require moderate exercise, so they are not excessive barkers or destructive when left alone. This combination makes them a suitable companion for many lifestyles.
The Cockapoo coat is generally quite soft, ranging from short and wavy to long, curly, and fluffy. It tends to be hypoallergenic, which makes it a great choice for those with allergies. Its unique dual-coat does a great job of keeping the pup warm when it's cold but keeps them cool when it heats up. Colors of the coat can vary Cockapoos who have a Poodle parent can come in any Poodle color, from black and white all the way to apricot, which is pretty unique.
Yes, Cockapoos do have special dietary needs. Like all dogs, Cockapoos need a balanced diet of protein from meat sources, complex carbs, and healthy fats. However, keeping this energetic and active breed at a healthy weight with a good coat and skin condition may require additional dietary considerations. Owners should consider if their Cockapoo has a tendency to gain weight, as the breed’s coat and energy levels can be particularly impacted by an unhealthy diet. Also, their diet should include foods that are free of artificial flavors and colors.
Before making the commitment to get a Cockapoo, make sure you are properly prepared with some of the essentials. Start by getting a few must-haves like a food dish, water bowl, and chew-resistant bed. Be sure to purchase a good quality food specifically made for Cockapoos and ensure that your pup has all the necessary vaccinations. It is also necessary to pick up some different grooming items such as a toothbrush, brush, shampoo, and nail clippers to keep your pup looking their best.
The size of your Cockapoo puppy will depend on the mix of their parent breeds, as Cockapoos range between 10-25 pounds when full-grown.

Therefore, a puppy bred from a Toy Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel will likely mature to be less than 15 pounds, while a puppy bred from a Standard Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel might be closer to 25 pounds.
