Cockapoo Dogs & Puppies for Sale

Cockapoos are a blend between two popular breeds - the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle. They've become one of the UK's most popular breeds, thanks to their loving nature, intelligence, and hypoallergenic coats. Opting for a Cockapoo, whether puppy or adult, involves careful consideration. Read our guide to buying and rehoming a dog safely for more information.

What are the characteristics of a Cockapoo?

Cockapoos are highly intelligent thanks to their Poodle genes, which makes them relatively easy to train. They also inherit the Cocker Spaniels friendly and outgoing nature, making them great around children and other pets. Their hypoallergenic coat is a bonus for families concerned about allergies.

Are Cockapoos a good choice for families?

Yes, Cockapoos are a fantastic choice for families - even those who are first-time dog owners. They thrive on attention and bond closely with their family members, and are particularly good with children thanks to their patient and playful nature. They also have moderate-to-high energy levels, making them a good choice for active families who can provide them with exercise and mental stimulation.

Are there any downsides to owning a Cockapoo?

Prospective Cockapoo owners should be aware that although their coats are hypoallergenic, they need to be maintained. Regular brushing and professional grooming will help prevent matting and maintain the coats condition. They are prone to the same diseases as their parent breeds, such as hip dysplasia and von Willebrands disease.

How much does a Cockapoo puppy cost?

In the UK, the price of a Cockapoo puppy can significantly vary based on location, the puppys lineage, coat type, and whether the puppy has undergone health checks and received vaccinations. Generally, initial prices range from £800 to over £2,500. There will also be ongoing expenses, including grooming, food, and vet bills.

How long do Cockapoos typically live?

Cockapoos have a relatively long lifespan, often living between 12 to 15 years, sometimes even longer with proper care. This includes regular vet check-ups, a healthy diet, and plenty of exercise.

Are there any common health issues I should be aware of?

Cockapoos can inherit health concerns common to either Cocker Spaniels or Poodles, including hip dysplasia, ear infections (due to their floppy ears), and eye conditions. If you're looking to rehome a puppy, look for responsible owners who can provide the results of any health screenings on both pup and parents.

How much grooming do Cockapoos need?

Their coat requires regular maintenance, including daily brushing to avoid tangles and mats. Depending on their coat type, Cockapoos may need professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Regular ear checks and cleanings are also important to prevent infections, a common problem due to their floppy ears.

Is a Cockapoo the right dog for me if I have a small living space?

As long as Cockapoos get plenty of exercise out of the house each day, they are suitable to live in smaller homes such as flats.

How often should I exercise my Cockapoo?

Both Cocker Spaniels and Poodles are fairly high energy, and Cockapoos are no different. They need daily exercise to stay healthy and content, which should include walks, playtime, and mental stimulation through training or interactive toys.
