In the age when celebrities carry around miniature sized dogs as pets, the popularity of the Cockapoo has returned. Cockapoos are not a new breed of dog, and in fact this cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle has been breed since the 1950's.
Popularity of the Cockapoo has had its ups and downs in the last fifty seven years. Although breeders have been breeding Cockapoos for over fifty years, there still exists no official recognition for the breed, from any kennel club. Although cute, in the eyes of professional breeders, Cockapoos are nothing more than a cross breed and not a pedigree dog.
Temperament of Cockapoos
For the most part these little dogs are calm loving and friendly. From the Poodle side, the Cockapoo gets its lively intelligence and its non shedding coat that rarely contains much dander. The Cocker Spaniel side is responsible for the loving loyal and outgoing personality and its sturdy build despite its small size.
Cockapoos are very social dogs and love to interact and play with people. Their sunny and forgiving natures make them ideal dogs to be around children, and just think, due to their long lives, they may watch your child grow into adulthood! There could be no better memory than that.
Runs in the park, playing tug-of-war, and catching and retrieving small balls, all appeal to their bright personalities, and they do need at least one walk a day! Due to their small size, even if you must crate your Cockapoo while you are at work, it will still feel big and roomy. Just don't forget to put food, water and some toys in, as Cockapoos are easily bored.
