Cockapoos are highly adaptable little dogs that are known to be extremely affectionate and loyal to their families by nature. They are also highly intelligent, having inherited this from both their parent breeds. Poodles are among the smartest dogs on the planet and Cockers boast being very clever too although both can be a little too clever for their own good, a trait that Cockapoos certainly know how to use to their own advantage. They are renowned for being happy, fun-loving characters that are a pleasure to have around.

Cockapoos thrive on human company, which makes them very popular with families.
Cockapoos love playing interactive games and are known to be fast on their feet and very agile. Much like their parent breeds, a Cockapoo is an obedient dog and the best way to tire one of these charming, intelligent dogs out, is to give them a reasonable amount of exercise that includes lots of interactive playtime. They enjoy all sorts of canine sports which includes activities like agility and flyball.

Cockapoos are known to be very smart with both their parent breeds being high on the list of intelligent dogs. They also love to please and as such they are highly trainable.
They are quite sensitive dogs by nature and therefore, they do not answer well to any sort of harsh correction, nor do Cockapoos respond well to heavy handed training methods. They do respond very well to positive reinforcement and are known to be quite "voice sensitive" which means they quickly pick up the different tones owners use when giving them certain commands.

Cockapoos are known to be very good around children which is why they make such wonderful family pets and why they have been a popular choice with people.
They are also known to be sociable dogs by nature, especially if they have been well socialised from a young age which in short, means
Cockapoos generally get on well with other dogs and animals which includes cats.

The average life span of a Cockapoo can range from 14 to 18 years when properly cared for and fed an appropriate good quality diet to suit their age.

Cockapoos do need to be groomed on a regular basis to make sure their coats and skin are kept in top condition. They also need to be given regular daily exercise to ensure they remain fit and healthy.
Cockapoo's can have many different types of coat with some dogs having a more Poodle-like coat whereas others might boast having sleeker coats much like their Cocker Spaniel parent breed. Although my breeding all have a soft wave texture with a 'Teddy-Bear' look.
They are low-shedding dogs, fantastic for people suffering from allergies, as this is called by the 'dander' (from the skin that they shed).
