| Information about Cockapoo's |
|
| A Cockapoo or Cockerpoo is a cross-bred
dog, created by crossing a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle,
in most cases the Miniature Poodle. Breeders usually try
to retain the small build of the spaniel, while retaining
the wavy quality of the Poodle's coat. The breed's name
can be seen as a pun on cockatoo, which is a group of
parrot species commonly kept as pets. |
|
| The Cockapoo has been popular in the
United States since at least the 1970s. It has become
so common that many, if not most, Cockapoos on the market
today are the result of breeding male and female Cockapoos
rather than of a direct cross between the Cocker Spaniel
and the Poodle. |
|
| The Cockapoo is still under development.
Strictly speaking, the Cockapoo cannot yet be described
as a dog breed because it does not 'breed true'. In breeders'
terms, 'breeding true' means that, when two specimens
of the same breed are mated, the puppies have consistently
predictable characteristics and will resemble their parents,
rather than exhibiting random characteristics of the dog
breeds in their parents' ancestries. Further, the breed
standards of breeds-under-development are invariably freer,
more open to interpretation and cover more observable
types than those of established or kennel club recognized
breeds. |
|
| Cockapoos generally weigh between 20
and 24 pounds (9 to 11 kg) and stand about 14 or 15 inches
(35 to 38 cm) at the withers. Like their originating breeds,
Cockapoos come in a variety of coat colors, both solid
colors and combinations. The general shape of the Cockapoo,
in particular its ears, mostly resembles the Spaniel,
but the coat and face are usually more reminiscent of
the Poodle, some Cockapoos shed and some don't. They are
loyal, and don't cost more than a cat to feed. They are
pretty much odorless and they don't slobber. |
|
| Cockapoos are well known for their
loyalty to their owner, and are known to get jealous if
he/she pays attention to anything else. Like most spaniels,
they can be very energetic, but this can vary widely from
dog-to-dog. Like both their parent breeds they are trainable
and intelligent. |
|
| Cockapoos are generally well off in
the health-risks lists, so vet bills are usually not an
issue. However, they can suffer from problems associated
with either the Cocker Spaniel or the Poodle. |
