Kokapoo haircut in Kiev

Cockapoo is a lively mixture of playfulness, intelligence and tenderness, which was born from the happy union of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle. That is why the Cockapoo combines the best qualities of both breeds: from the Spaniel he got a kind, trusting character, and from the Poodle – intelligence, hypoallergenic coat and charisma of a small aesthete. The first Cockapoo puppies appeared in the 60’s in the USA – first as an experiment to create the “perfect pet dog”, and then this mix conquered the world and became a separate breed with millions of fans.

Cockapoos come in three main types – those resulting from crossing a Poodle with an American Cocker Spaniel, an English Cocker, or other cockapoos. Depending on the size of the Poodle, which has 50 to 75% “fluffy” genetics in its blood, the dogs can be Mini, Medium or larger (Standard), but in most cases the weight of an adult cockapoo does not exceed 10-15 kg. It is a dog, convenient for life both in an apartment and in a private house – the main thing is to have someone to love near it.

Its coat is a subject of a separate admiration. Soft, wavy or curly, incredibly pleasant to the touch, it creates the very image of a “living toy” that makes passers-by stop. But behind the beauty is hidden responsibility – such wool requires regular care: kokapu shearing, combing, delicate washing. But it causes allergies less often, does not shed in big wisps and gives the owner the feeling that he touches a cloud.

In terms of character – cockapoos are as if born to be “friends to all”. They are sociable, very human, easy to train and sensitive to their owner’s moods. They like to be part of your life – and bake cookies with you, and fall asleep on the couch together, and entertain guests with their funny jumps. Cockapoo puppies are real energetic: mischievous, frisky, without a drop of aggression, but with boundless curiosity. They should be socialized from an early age, taught with affection, because they are very sensitive to intonation, intonation is more important to them than commands.

It is interesting that kokapu do not have official recognition among traditional cynological clubs, but this does not prevent the breed from confidently taking a place among the most favorite family dogs in the world. They are bought by people with allergies, families with children, and the elderly – because they are adaptable, sincere, and touchingly loyal.

Cockapoo health is usually good, especially in dogs from responsible breeders. Still, as with all mixed breeds, hereditary problems can occur – with ears, eyes, knees or skin. Because of the ears, which are tight-fitting and poorly ventilated, the ear canal should be checked regularly. In terms of longevity, Cockapoos make their owners happy – they live an average of 12-15 years, and with proper care, nutrition and regular grooming – even more.
