SIZE: Size is determined by the height, rather than the weight, of the adult dog.
Toy: 10” or less at shoulder height – under 12 pounds as a general rule
Mini: 11” – 14” at shoulder - usually 12-20 pounds
Standard: 15” or higher – over 20 pounds
Height is measured to the top of the shoulder in standing position.
PERSONALITY: Cockapoos are highly trainable with a keen intelligence. They are curious and eager to perform. They do well with one-person owners as well as with families with young children. They are very people-oriented, outgoing and happy dogs.
FUR: Coat is dense; may be fairly straight, wavy or curly; little to no shedding.
TAILS: Tails may be docked or not. (We do not dock tails.)
LIFESPAN: Generally 14 to 18 years, even into the 20’s.
ACTIVITY: They adapt well to apartments and homes, but are also “at home” on the largest farm. They have a moderate activity level. Cockapoos are not meant to be outside dogs.
COCKAPOOS ARE GREAT WITH KIDS!
