The Cockapoo is a hybrid breed that is a cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle. This breed is also sometimes known as Spoodles, particularly in Australia. Cockapoos are available in a wide variety of sizes due to the fact that the size will typically depend upon the size of the parents, especially the Poodle. A toy Poodle will naturally produce a Cockapoo that is a smaller size while a larger Poodle will usually result in a Cockapoo offspring that is larger.
The coat of the Cockapoo will also largely depend upon which parent the dog takes after as well. Some Cockapoos will have a coat that is curlier if they take more after the Poodle than the Cocker Spaniel. Grooming will depend upon the type of coat that the dog inherits. A Cockapoo may have one of three different types of coats. They are a tight, curly coat; a medium coat and a coat that is flat. All of these different coats are usually long with fur that is silky.
In addition, the color of the coat of this dog will vary as well. There are typically many different colors available, depending on the color of the parents, especially the Poodle, which typically ranges in colors.

Make sure that both the animals are calmed down before you put them together. If the dog has just walked and is tired then would be a goodtime to put them together. |
