Questions & Answers
A Cockapoo is a cross-breed, designer dog created by breeding a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. This popular breed of pooch has become a popular household pet as Cockapoos generally have friendly and playful temperaments with an average life expectancy of 15 years. Because of their intelligence, Cockapoos are easy to train and are especially well suited for families with children. They don't require a lot of space so they do well in apartments and homes alike.
The Cockapoo coat is typically a mix of the parent breeds' coat characteristics. Generally recognized to have a "softer" coat than other poodle mixes, the Cockapoo has a longer, wavier hairstyle due to the poodle parent's influence. Generally, the coat is low-shedding and minimal to no-odor, making it an ideal candidate for those with allergies.
When determining what is best for your Cockapoo, you should consider their age, activity level, and any specific health concerns. Based on these factors, a balanced diet with high proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats and fiber is optimal, as well as one that is formulated specifically for small breed dogs. When shopping for food, look for quality ingredients and avoid foods with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Some great brands for Cockapoos are Wellness Core, Holistic Select, Merrick, and Taste of the Wild.
It is important to purchase the essentials such as a leash, collar, food and water dishes, and a comfy bed before bringing home a Cockapoo. Be sure to find the right size bed for your pup and choose a collar and leash combination that is both comfortable and durable. Food and water dishes should be chew-proof so your pup won't be able to destroy them. You may also need additional items such a dog shampoo, a brush and nail clippers.
Cockapoos are indeed considered to be small dogs. They are mixed breeds, typically a combination of a Poodle and Cocker Spaniel, and their size tends to range from 10-20 pounds, with a height of 10-14 inches. Although they are small dogs, they have high energy levels and require plenty of exercise and interaction with their owners. They often require lots of grooming, and because they are mixed breeds, their coats can change in color or texture as they age.
Absolutely! Exercise is very important for Cockapoos, so taking them running is a great way to keep them physically and mentally healthy. Just be sure to start out gradually if your Cockapoo is new to running. Start with shorter distances and watch your pup to make sure they're not overdoing it and becoming overly tired. Consider breaking up the run with some playtime or stopping along the way for a rest. Also, pay attention to the temperature. If it's too hot, opt for a walk instead to avoid being out in the heat for too long.
Absolutely! Cockapoos can make for great first-time owners, as they are friendly, social, and intelligent dogs. Cockapoos are easily trainable and can learn quickly. They do well with children and other animals, making them an ideal pet for a first-time owner. They also require very little maintenance, making them a great choice for those who don't have the time or energy to devote to a high-maintenance pet. Finally, Cockapoos are relatively low-shedding and can come in a variety of sizes, colors, and coat types.
Training your Cockapoo is a great way to ensure you have a well-behaved and socialized pet. It's important to establish positive habits and provide your pup with the chance to learn proper behavior. Start by determining the ways you want your Cockapoo to act, such as being obedient when called, not jumping on people, and learning basic commands. After you have established the behavior you are seeking, make sure to keep your training sessions positive and consistent. It will be helpful to use consistent rewards, such as treats or playtime, each time your pup is successful.
