Questions & Answers
Cockapoos are a designer breed of dog that is the result of a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. As a hybrid breed, Cockapoos do not have a particularly long history, but they have become increasingly popular in the last few decades due to their friendly and loving temperament. Cockapoos have a generally good nature and they are generally friendly towards family, strangers, and children. They have a moderate activity level and they enjoy playing and exploring. Their coats come in varying shades and they require regular grooming.
Whether Cockapoos are likely to cause you to have allergies depends on your individual allergies and sensitivities. Generally speaking, Cockapoos are considered to be low-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs making them a good choice for households with people who suffer from allergies and/or asthma. However, every individual is different and there is always the possibility that even low-shedding, hypoallergenic breeds could cause an allergic response in some individuals.
Cockapoos are very active and need a nutritious diet that provides them with all of their essential vitamins and minerals. A high-quality kibble is a great option and should be tailored to the individual needs of your pet. It's important to look for a kibble with named meats as the first two ingredients and avoid artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Avoid kibbles with animal byproducts as well. Additionally, adding some fresh veggies like green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes can give your pup some variety and help complete their diet.
Before bringing home a Cockapoo, it is important to be prepared. Some essential items to have are food dishes, a water bowl, a comfortable bed, a brush, a collar, a harness, puppy food, named tags, a baby gate, and a secure pen. Additionally, it is important to put safety measures in place. Get the house ready by looking for small items that can create choking hazards or items that can become damaged by the puppy. Also, secure any cords or wires and ensure that plants and medications are placed out of reach.
Cockapoos are generally considered to be a small to medium sized breed of dog. They are classified as a hybrid, which means they are a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. Cockapoos typically weigh between 12-24 lbs., and are between 10-15 inches tall. This makes Cockapoos a small sized dog, with a unique combination of intelligence, athleticism and affection that make them a great fit for many families. They can range in coat color and texture from wavy or curly coats to straight, long or short coats.
While there is no standard answer as to how many minutes per day a Cockapoo should be walked, experts suggest that their exercise needs should be met with 30 minutes to an hour of physical activity, including walking. A brisk walk around the neighborhood is of course ideal, but creating an obstacle course in your backyard or playing around with agility or obedience classes may be great alternatives. Even playing fetch in your home helps keep your Cockapoo active and mentally stimulated. Be sure to keep your walks interesting and challenging for your pup and provide ample opportunities for rest and potty breaks.
Yes, Cockapoos can be an excellent breed for first-time owners. They are loyal, active dogs that typically do well with children and other animals. They are also intelligent and eager to please which make them quite easy to train. They generally require consistency and patience, like any breed, but the reward of having such a sweet companion can be a great experience for first time owners. Additionally, Cockapoos tend to have less health problems than pure-breeds so they can potentially be a longer lasting addition to your family.
Training a Cockapoo is not necessarily easy compared to other breeds, as Cockapoos are known for being energetic, curious, and loyal. However, it is certainly possible to successfully train a Cockapoo with patience, determination, and consistency. The key is to be patient and consistent with your Cockapoo, as they will need your guidance and reassurance. Positive reinforcement is typically the best approach when teaching them, as they respond well to reinforcement.
