Cockapoo

The Cockapoo is a crossbreed. Opening your heart and home to a crossbreed is like opening a beautifully wrapped package on your birthday: you can never be sure what’s inside. It’s often assumed that a crossbreed will combine the best of two or more breeds, but genetics doesn’t always work that way. The way genes express themselves is not always subject to a breeder’s control, even less so when two different breeds are crossed. That’s something to keep in mind before you lay down lots of money for a dog that you have been assured will be hypoallergenic or healthier than a purebred.

Before anyone ever realized the marketing potential of so-called “designer dogs," one crossbreed had already established a hold on America’s heart. The Cockapoo is the result of mating a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle or is the offspring of two Cocker/Poodle mixes bred with each other. Cockapoos are bright-eyed, scruffy-coated puppies that can grow into dogs that retain a puppy-dog charm.

Cockapoos who are carefully bred and lovingly raised should be happy, affectionate dogs that love families, children, other dogs, and even cats. Without the benefit of health and temperament testing, however, they can be a mess of genetic and behavioral problems.

Cross-bred puppies like the Cockapoo  can look very different even if they're from the same littler. The Cockapoo's size, color, coat type, temperament, activity level, and health risks will vary depending on what traits an individual puppy has inherited.

Generally, they should weigh less than 30 pounds and are somewhere between fluffy and scruffy in a variety of colors and markings. Like the poodle, they can also be curly. If that description seemed a little vague, it's because the Cockapoo is just that diverse.

At their best, they are friendly and affectionate, and, at weights ranging from 6 to 30 pounds, they are a comfortable size for most homes.

Poodles have a reputation for being hypoallergenic, meaning that they can supposedly be tolerated by people who have allergies to dogs. Because they have the Poodle in their heritage, Cockapoos are sometimes promoted as being hypoallergenic. But allergies are caused not by a particular dog coat type but by dander (the dead skin cells that are shed by all dogs and people). There is no scientific evidence that any breed or cross breed is more or less allergenic than any other dog. Some people with allergies may react less severely to particular dogs, but no reputable breeder will guarantee that her dogs are hypoallergenic.

Cockapoos are companion dogs. They love their people and need to live in the house, never outdoors.

Cavapoo

The Cavapoo is a crossbreed. A cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle dog breeds. Opening your heart and home to a crossbreed is like opening a beautifully wrapped package on your birthday: you can never be sure what’s inside. It’s often assumed that a crossbreed will combine the best of two or more breeds, but genetics doesn’t always work that way. The way genes express themselves is not always subject to a breeder’s control, even less so when two different breeds are crossed. That’s something to keep in mind before you lay down lots of money for a dog that you have been assured will be hypoallergenic or healthier than a purebred.

Our average sizes are 12-30 lbs depending on the parents. We have all colors. They are outgoing, playful, and curious, these pups inherit some of the best traits from both of their parents. These puppies make amazing family pets, as they're a busy little dog that is obedient, agile and quick to solve problems. Training is recommended and will keep your dog mentally alert and should commence at an early age. A gentle approach is needed and works best, rewarding your puppy with lavish praise and small treats is more effective than getting onto your them. Some Cavapoos can be sensitive, so it is important to give them lots of different experiences and chances to socialize so that they grow into a calm, well behaved adult. We recommend that they are socialized as much as possible but safely. They are an attractive dog who is intelligent and has a gentle temperament making it ideal for families as it thrives on human companionship. They get on well with other cats and dogs but have a high need for human companionship. The Cavapoo needs little exercise as it is always busy, but a nice walk will keep your dog fit and socialized. They should live in the house, never outdoors.
