~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Cockapoo is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and either a Toy or Miniature Poodle. Our Cockapoo puppies have a Toy Poodle dad and a Cocker Spaniel mom or a Cockapo mom and Toy Poodle dad. The Cockapoo has a pleasant temperamentand a sweet disposition. They are very loyal and patient and gentle and loving with children. This makes them an ideal family pet. The size of a Cockapoo may vary depending on the size of the parents. The coat of a Cockapoo is thick and curly and has the best aspects of the Poodle and Cocker Spaniel coats. They are non-shedding like the Poodle. You need to brush the Cockapoo on a regular basis. The Cockapoo has been around for decades and has always been a popular family pet. They have long lives and a lower incidence of genetic defects than in the parental breeds.
