What cockapoo Owners Say About Their cockapoos

  • I received my first cockapoo puppy, Zoomer years ago and we instantly fell in love with Sailor, our new pup. He has been a complete joy so far, and will be even more joyful once he is finished teething! We couldn't love our two Cockapoo boys more!!!!
  • Our lIttle cockapoo is very healthy and playful and loving. We couldn't be happier with him. Our springer spaniel is very fond of him and they play well together. He is the brightest spot in every day for our family.

About cockapoos

The Cockapoo is a mixed breed, achieved by crossing a Cocker Spaniel with a Poodle. This breed is one of the older “designer” breeds, dating back to the 1960s. Cockapoos are completely people-oriented, compassionate, intelligent and make excellent pets for families with children. These adorable dogs tend to be small in size, but have huge personalities! Cockapoos are intelligent and excel at many things, including agility and therapy.

cockapoo Health

The adorable Cockapoo is a well-established designer breed and has been around since the 1960s. Being a cross of the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle, they are often considered a healthier option when compared to their purebred parentage and have an estimated life expectancy of 12-15 years. While health data is still being obtained on the Cockapoo it is important to mention they can still be susceptible to the same health concerns as the breeds they derive from. While most Cockapoos will never be diagnosed with these health conditions it is important to monitor your dog for any physical or behavioral changes. Your vet might also recommend running basic health screenings to diagnose or even rule out potential health risks.

The Cockapoo is a combination of the playful Cocker Spaniel and the intelligent Poodle. The Cockapoo makes for an enthusiastic playmate who will enjoy learning fun tricks.

 

The Cocker Spaniel is often bred to either the Toy or Miniature variety of Poodle. It is very unlikely that a Cockapoo will have a Standard Poodle parent.
