The minute you see the very active and hairy Cockapoo, you can't help but be mesmerized by it. Its hairy and flappy ears, and dense and shiny coat are just some of the few things you will like about it. Through the ever-adorable Poodle and Cocker Spaniel, the Cockapoo is of existence today.
The Cockapoo is a first degree hybrid, unlike presumptions of many that it is a purebred. First degree means that it is the direct result of cross breeding a Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel. In Australia, they call this breed Spoodles and in Sweden, it is called Cockerpoo.
Unlike most new hybrids, the Cockapoo was actually first developed in the United Stated in 1950. After which, its popularity grew all throughout the country and other parts of the world. There are several existing clubs for this breed today and there are 3 active ones in the US.
This dog may come out by breeding a Poodle and Cocker Spaniel or by breeding a Cockapoo with another Cockapoo. The enthusiasts of this breed currently are trying to work out its standardization through continuous experimental breeding down to the next generations of Cockapoos. Cockapoo clubs have this mission and they advise breeders to list down all the details of their Cockapoo breeding in order to have solid and well-documented evidence that may be useful in creating the standard for this breed.
As an unstable breed, it is but natural for the Cockapoo to have varied appearance and temperament. Some Cockapoos may resemble a spaniel and some may resemble a Poodle. There is no standard height or weight for the Cockapoo since breeders may also use different types of Poodles such as Miniature Poodles or Toy Poodles.
The colors of this breed may come out in different shades of tan, beige, red or brown. Some may also appear in solid colors such as black, white, cream, silver or red. Most Cockapoos come out with a mixture of more than one color with complex markings of a different color on its body such as spots or patches on the muzzle, eyes and legs.
The appearance of this breed varies depending on which parent has influenced it the most genetically. Some may inherit the sleek hair of the spaniel and some may have the coarse curls of the Poodle. But it is the Poodle who is responsible for the Cockapoo's low shedding and less dander coat, making it a certified pet for the sensitive.
Aside from their cuddly appearance, the Cockapoos are also well-loved for their agility and liveliness. They may be little but they are intelligent, outgoing and loving, thanks to the genes of the Cocker Spaniel. These dogs are very inclined to befriending people and make outstanding playmates to little children. - 20511
