Breed Information
Overview
Because the Cockapoo is a mixed dog breed, you can expect a temperament along the lines of its parent breeds, the Miniature Poodle and the Cocker Spaniel. This leads them to regularly have a very loving and also highly energetic temperament. They may also exhibit anxiety and nervousness though, making them prone to separation distress when left alone for long periods of time.
Both sides of your Cockapoo’s family tree are companion dogs, which makes them great indoor pups, especially for families. They also typically get along with other pets, but this may vary from dog to dog.
The Cockapoo is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle, a Cockapoo and either of the original parent breeds, or two Cockapoos. They are one of the most popular designer dog breeds. The Cocker Spaniel in the mix can be either an English Cocker Spaniel or an American Cocker Spaniel. The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes both mixes.
The Cockapoo can also be referred to as a Spoodle or a Cockadoodle. Many dog lovers are enamored with them because of their mix of the Cocker Spaniel’s outgoing and energetic personality with the non-shedding properties of the Miniature Poodle.
Temperament
With some of the most affectionate dog breeds as parents, well-socialized Cockapoos are affectionate family dogs that thrive on attention and affection from their favorite humans. They tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets.
Provided they are properly socialized, they are even open and friendly with strangers. After all, it’s just another potential playmate and someone to give them the attention and affection they crave.
