Cockapoos get their loving personalities from their Cocker Spaniel and Poodle parents. No matter how old they get, they always have a puppy's charm. Cockapoos are gentle, family-friendly dogs that vie for your love and attention. They don’t just want companionship, they need it!

Behavior

The Cockapoo is known for its pleasant personality, loyalty, and patience. These dogs are very outgoing and always eager for your companionship and attention. In fact, they often become sad if they’re left alone for too long. To make your Cockapoo happy, be prepared to keep it close by and offer up plenty of hugs and kisses.

Coat

The Cockapoo has a coat that combines aspects of the Poodle and Cocker Spaniel. Their fur can be curly, flat, or anywhere in between. Cockapoos come in a wide variety of colors, such as white, cream, tan, or a mix. They don’t shed much, but their coat needs extensive and thorough brushing to keep them clean and tangle-free.

Lifestyle

Cockapoos' kind disposition make them a wonderful family pet. These dogs are gentle and loving with children and enjoy having company, whether it’s another dog, cat, or other animal. Cockapoos are the perfect size for apartments, but no matter what kind of home you live in, make sure you have enough time to devote to them and keep them as indoor dogs.

Cockapoos have low exercise needs. They’ll be happy with a small yard where they can run freely and take the occasional walk. Above all else, these dogs want companionship, so whatever activity you choose for them, make sure they have a playmate to keep them company and share in the fun.
