Questions & Answers
A Cockapoo is a hybrid dog breed, created by mating a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. This combination has resulted in an intelligent, loyal and affectionate companion. The Cockapoo typically has a stout body, a thick coat that can come in a variety of colors, and a high energy level. Most Cockapoos do not shed and their coats can range from wavy to curly depending on what parent breed is most dominant.
Cockapoos are a hybrid breed of dog, which results in genetic traits that can vary widely. Therefore, it is impossible to definitively say that all Cockapoos are hypoallergenic. However, because Cockapoos are a mixed breed, many have a more hypoallergenic coat that is less prone to producing dander, the primary allergen for many people. Additionally, Cockapoos have less of an inclination to shed, which can decrease the amount of dander in the environment.
Cockapoos are generally fairly healthy and can have a good appetite as long as it is not overfed. Generally speaking, Cockapoos should eat high-quality dry food specifically formulated for the breed's size as well as wet food. It is also important to ensure that any food given to a Cockapoo is suited to the individual dog's health requirements, such as vitamins and minerals. A balanced diet rich in protein is essential to provide the dog with the necessary nutrients for their overall health and wellbeing.
Preparing your home for your new Cockapoo should be a fun experience. First, you'll need to select a quiet place for your pup to sleep, such as a crate or a specific area of the home. Next, it's important to puppy-proof your home as much as possible, removing any plants, electric wires, or other objects that could pose a hazard. You should clear a space for the pup to exercise and play, as well as designate a warm, dry area for elimination.
Cockapoos are a mix of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, usually a toy or miniature. Depending on the mixture of the two breeds, Cockapoos can range from very petite to medium in size and weigh anywhere from 6 to 20 pounds. When full-grown, they usually stand at around a foot tall, though can reach heights up to 14 inches. As with any crossbreed, you can't guarantee an exact size until they reach their full maturity.
Yes, Cockapoos are quite active dogs. It really depends on the individual, but Cockapoos tend to have energy levels that will require a good amount of daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. With plenty of games, walks, or any type of physical activity, Cockapoos will thrive. They also enjoy learning new activities and tricks, which can increase their intelligence. By providing adequate attention and exercise, your Cockapoo can ensure it has a well-rounded experience and remain active.
Cockapoos are well-known for their patience, affection, and intelligence, making them an ideal breed for families with small children.

Training a Cockapoo is as simple as establishing a consistent routine. Consistency is key in making sure that your pup understands what is expected of them. Treat training can be a great starting point for any Cockapoo. Keeping treats on hand can help teach your pup their commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Once you have established these basic commands, you can branch out into other activities such as agility, tricks, obedience, and more. Be sure to provide rewards and positive reinforcement during the training process, as this will help keep your pup motivated.
