History

Considered one of the original designer breeds of dogs, the Cockapoo, has won the hearts of many. Since the 1950s, this breed has been very successful as a companion and family dog. His roots stem from the United States. The Cockapoo is a fine cross between the Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. Both parent dogs are known to be good family dogs and have been popular family pets for generations.

Personality

Appearance

Cockapoos have three different basic coat types that come in a variety of colors. Straight, wavy, and tightly curled in black, cream, apricot, red, and chocolate. Some Cockapoos also have solid colors and distinct abstract markings, like a white back and an apricot chest. This breed does benefit from routine brushing and monthly bathing to prevent their coats from forming knots and matting. For straight coat types, it is wise to brush your dog’s coat at least four times per week. For those who have wavy coat types, at least five brushings per week are suggested. For Cockapoos with tightly curled coats, you should consider brushing daily to keep tangles from forming.
