Cockapoo Breeders

Cockapoos are hybrid dogs, but breeders do not seem to give up their hopes to draft a breed standard and have the dog officially recognized. However, today Cockapoos are too different to be matched to any uniform pattern. Their size, coat type and coat color depend on those of their parents. There are at least four types of Cockapoos classified according to the size, and there are three coat types common to the Cockapoo hybrid. Actually, the Cockapoo is a cross between the Poodle and the American Cocker Spaniel. The hybrid originated in the United States in the 1940s, and today he is increasingly popular among dog fanciers.

In their dogs, Cockapoo Breeders strive to bring together the best of both breeds. Some breeders produce first generation Cockapoos by crossing Cocker Spaniels with Poodles. Cockapoos can also be produced by mating Cockapoos with Cocker Spaniels or Poodles (backcrossing) or with other Cockapoos (multi-generation crossing).

Cockapoos are very loyal, playful and intelligent companions. They are quick learners, and they appreciate company and interaction. These dogs cannot stay alone for a long time. Dogs that are for some reason deprived of attention may develop separation anxiety and serious behavior problems. Cockapoos are not usually aggressive, and they can get on well with other dogs, particularly with their own like. If you are about to purchase a Cockapoo puppy, please, choose a reputable and conscientious Cockapoo Breeder, who can provide health records and various sorts of pedigree information on his or her dogs and puppies.

Because these dogs are very intelligent and eager to please their loved ones, they are relatively easy to train. They appreciate positive reinforcement, and do not respond to harsh training. Although these dogs are laborious and active, they do not require much physical exercise. They enjoy fetching and play-ball games, and hence they make superb playmates for children. Like most dogs, Cockapoos become willful at times, but experienced trainers and knowledgeable dog owners know how to deal with such problems. Responsible Cockapoo Breeders are open with their clients about the haves and have-nots of the breed and the hardships of being a dog owner.
