Good to know

  • A designer cross: a mix of the Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, so size, coat and temperament vary with the parents and the size of Poodle used.
  • Friendly and eager: both parent breeds are affectionate and keen to please, and many Cockapoos are sociable dogs that enjoy training and play.
  • Coat care varies: coats range from loose waves to tight curls, and most need regular brushing and professional grooming to prevent mats.
  • A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.
  • A designer breed, from crossing two purebred parents, so size, coat and temperament vary more than in a purebred.

Getting out with a Cockapoo

Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
