Cockapoos have become popular because they generally combine the outgoing, loving personality of the Cocker spaniel with the low-shedding, low-dander qualities of the Poodle.[5] Cockapoos are active, and thrive when they receive regular exercise. Cockapoos can be very agile, excelling at “retrieve” games and enjoying activities such as swimming.[6] Cockapoos are frequently very needy dogs and as such are not suitable to be left alone for long periods as they frequently suffer from separation distress or anxiety.[7]
The Cockapoo is a cross-breed, not a purebred, and does not “breed true.” In breeders’ terms, “breeding true” means that the pups will have consistently predictable characteristics. Cockapoos, however, may inherit the characteristics of either or both their parent breeds. While some Cockapoos appear more similar to Cocker Spaniels, others will exhibit more Poodle traits, creating a variation in Cockapoo appearance and temperament.
