Forever Cockapoo
Looking for a pup that has a lovely temperament and is great for allergies? Then look no further.
The true cockerpoo is a mixed breed dog with a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle as parents. They were bred with the goal of creating an alternative dog for those that suffer with allergies.
The successful outcome is a mix between the intelligence of a Poodle and the sturdiness of a Cocker.
As a Cockapoo is a ‘designer’ or mixed breed dog, there can hugely vary in size and colouring.
They are normally bred in the below size categories:
- Teacup Toy
- Toy Cockapoo
- Miniature Cockapoo
- Standard/ Maxi Cockapoo
The above ranges from less than 10 inches in height, right up to being at least 15 inches in height. Therefore, you need to be careful when purchasing a pooch that you’re buying a dog that works for you and your living arrangements.
This breed works well for:
- Those with allergies as they produce low levels of dander. They do still need daily brushing.
- Moderately active owners who will enjoy getting outdoors and playing with their pet.
- Multiple pet households or those with children. Thanks to their temperament, they are generally easy-going dogs.
- First time dog owners. They respond well to training using positive reinforcements and are quite easy to please.
What you need to consider...
Cockapoos are known to be extremely social and can sometimes suffer with separation anxiety when left alone for periods of time.
They have moderate levels of energy but need to have daily exercise to ensure that they don’t become overweight. But this could be anything from a good play outdoors to a short walk.
Overall, they make truly great companions and are a wonderful alternative for allergy sufferers.
