Look at me! I am a Cockapoo puppy! My Mom is Trisha a Cockapoo and my Dad is a Mini Poodle. I was born on September 2nd and I will be ready for my forever home on October 29th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I will be checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Martha Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
The Cockapoo came about during the 1960s and was one of the few original designer breeds. This mixed breed is a cross between an American Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. The Cockapoo can also be known as a Cockapoodle, Cockerpoo or Cock-a-Poo, Cockerdoodle, or a Spoodle. However, the Spoodle is the name of the breed developed between the English Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. The Cockapoo was bred to create a dog that was hypoallergenic and exhibited a sweet disposition. They succeeded because the Cockapoo is an extremely happy, affectionate, and loving breed. It seems “Happy” is their first, middle, and last name. They are also very intelligent, and therefore easy to train. A Cockapoo would do well living in an apartment if they are the smaller breed using the smaller sized Poodle, like a Miniature or Toy Poodle. New dog parents would be great with this breed due its easy going and forgiving nature. Due to the Cockapoo being bred to be a companion it does not like to be alone, and subsequently can suffer from separation anxiety. Cockapoos are very affectionate with everyone; the elderly, children, and even other pets, but they are better suited with older children. The Cockapoo is typically under 10 inches to over 15 inches, and usually weighs from under 6 pounds to over 19 pounds, with a life span of 12-15 years. With routine veterinary visits, care, and love your Cockapoo should live a long and happy life.
