Cockerpoos are one of the most popular breeds now, so here's a couple of fun facts on them:
1)THEY COME IN DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES
Because of the hybrid nature of the Cockapoo, they don’t only come in one size. They have four different weights and overall sizes, which depend on the type of Poodle the Cocker Spaniel parent is bred with.
The Teacup Cockapoo is generally under 6 pounds, the Toy Cockapoo is under 12 pounds, the Miniature Cockapoo is between 13 and 18 pounds, and the Maxi or normal Cockapoo is over 19 pounds. You sometimes come across a very large Cockapoo, usually when a standard Poodle has been bred with a Cocker Spaniel; however, these are much less common than the smaller varieties.
2) THEY HAVE A SINGLE COAT
The coat of the Cockapoo is one of its crowning features. Their coats can come as loose curls or wavy bouffants and have many colours, including red, black, brown, blonde, chocolate, or cream. The single-coated nature of a Cockapoo means that grooming is more straightforward than that of its Poodle parent. It also means that they are less likely to shed hair, which brings about the idea that they might be hypoallergenic.
3) THE BREED IS KNOWN FOR
The Cockapoo is known for its shining personality, being good with children, being a good family dog, and absolutely loving to spend time with its people. Cockapoos are also known for their boundless energy and intelligence, allowing them to be trained relatively easily. That is why they often make excellent service dogs and are usually recommended for people with mental health problems.
