Cockapoo

About the breed

The cockapoo, also known as a cockerpoo (portmanteau of cocker spaniel and poodle), is a dog crossbreed bred from the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle, most commonly the Miniature Poodle.

Crossbreeding

Cockapoos are available in F1, F2, and F2B, which is dependent on the parent dogs.
F1 = purebred poodle and a cocker spaniel
F2 = F1 + F1
F2B = other combinations breeding back towards the original poodle or cocker spaniel breed

Temperament

Cockapoos are known for their affectionate nature and lively personalities, inheriting intelligence from both parents' breeds – the Cocker Spaniel and Poodle. This intelligence makes them generally easy to train, as they are eager learners and quick at mastering new tricks. It’s encouraged that owners enroll their cockapoos in puppy training classes for proper obedience and socialization.
Cockapoos are energetic and require attention, exercise, and training to prevent boredom and potential recklessness. It's important to note that, due to their sociable nature, if left alone for too long cockapoos have been known to develop separation anxiety.
