The
Cockapoo is a hybrid that is a cross-breed of a
Cocker Spaniel
and a Miniature
Poodle and may demonstrate any combination of traits from those two breeds.
Hybrids have become very popular in the past few years. They play a big role
in the current designer dog trend. The experimentation of these hybrid or
designer dogs has not been recognized by the American Kennel Club or Canadian
Kennel Club. The key to cross breeding to purebred dogs is what is called
hybrid vigor, the breeding resulting in a healthier dog with superior genetic
constitution can come from dogs purebred for so long that they have common
genetic disorders. The Cockapoo has a personality that is very sweet in nature.
They are known for being very loyal, affectionate, friendly, clean, healthy
and long lived dogs.
