They are charming and intelligent dogs with a friendly, people-pleasing temperaments, which is why they make great family and companion animals.

Cockapoos have been bred by crossing a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, so it can depend on the individual dog's genetics.

Compared to other breeds, Cockapoos require a nutritionally complete and balanced diet made up of top-notch proteins, carbs, and fatty acids. Their diet should also include omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. To ensure their diet meets their special requirements, Cockapoos should only eat high-quality, low-carb dry kibble.

With a combination of a Poodle and Cocker Spaniel in their lineage, these dogs tend to have a few inches of solid bone structure as well as a body that is compact and well-balanced. As a result, many consider these pooches to be a small breed. Additionally, the Cockapoo’s size makes them a popular pet for people living in apartments or those with smaller living quarters.
Cockapoos are an active breed and need plenty of regular exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. A minimum of an hour of physical activity per day is recommended, with activities such as running, walking, playing fetch, or swimming. Short walks two or three times a day can also be beneficial, as long as they are supplemented with more vigorous physical activity. Outdoor activities are great for Cockapoos, as they will enjoy the opportunity to explore; but make sure to stay in safe areas. Additionally, daily mental stimulation can help keep your Cockapoo healthy and fulfilled.
Cockapoos generally have an excellent temperament, making them reliable companions that get along wonderfully with other pets provided they are trained and socialized properly from a young age. When it comes to smaller animals such as cats, birds and rodents, Cockapoos may be wary at first, but can become great friends with them. Along with other dogs, Cockapoos love to play and it's not uncommon to find a Cockapoo happily running around with its canine friends.
Training a Cockapoo is a relatively easy process, as they are an intelligent breed. To begin, it is important to establish an environment that fosters learning and positive learning experiences. It's essential to set clear expectations, use consistent reward-based tactics, and to be patient and understanding. Using positive reinforcement in conjunction with fun activities or rewards is effective means of teaching. It is important to not use punishments of any kind as it can each trust and will make training harder in the long run.
