About Cockapoos
This adorable little hybrid is the result of crossing a Cocker Spaniel with a Poodle. Known in the United States since about 1950, many Cockapoo puppies are now the result of breeding between two adult Cockapoos, rather than starting with the original purebreds. It is not acceptable to breed a Cockapoo with a Cocker Spaniel or with a Poodle. This would produce a dog that is ¾ of one breed and ¼ of the other, while the Cockapoo is defined as a 50:50 combination of DNA. In other countries, this same dog is called the Spoodle, resulting from a different combination pattern of the same two breed names.
The Cockapoo is a very intelligent sort of animal in that it retains the keen since of the Cocker Spaniel while also having the quick alertness of the Poodle. They are warm and affectionate, full of energy and love to be with people. They are also very loyal to their owners.
Cockapoos are the perfect pet for those who have allergies as well. They are low to no shedding and don't have the issues with dander like you find with other dogs. Thus making it more susceptible for people with allergies to have that pet they always wanted.
Some purebred breeders will tell you that a hybrid dog inherits only the worst tendencies of each of the parent breeds. This may be a glass half-full vs. glass half-empty type of argument. What Cockapoo breeders have noted is that the Cocker-Poodle mix brings out the best in both breeds, known as hybrid vigor. In fact, Cockapoos have a longer life span than many dogs of their size, living as long as 18 to even 22 years. In addition, by crossing two different breeds, you are enlarging the gene pool, thus reducing the chances that defects will be reproduced in successive generations called the Heterosis Effect.
Cockapoos coat texture and size: they generally have a rather curly texture to their coat, more so than the Cocker Spaniel but usually not as curly as the Poodle. They can range anywhere from smallest being 8 - 15 lbs. to larger being 18 - 25 lbs. Some can get as big as 30 lbs.. Some can also remain shorter than others while actually weighing more than their counterparts while a taller Cockapoo may weigh less than the shorter Cockapoo. Size has a lot to do with bone structure. Whether they tend to be big boned or smaller boned. And yes, diet can play a big role too. A good diet is very important.
Some of the problems common to Cocker Spaniels and Poodles should be less likely in first generation Cockapoos because of the enlarging gene pool. Read all about the Heterosis Affect for more information.
I highly recommend that you do all the research you can. The more you know about the Cockapoo the easier it will be for you to decide if this is the right pet for you. As with any pet though, lots of love and affection, regular vet checks, and keeping them groomed will keep your pet your buddy for years to come.
