People have been breeding Cockapoos since the late
1940's to early 1950's.  They are a cross between an
American Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle.  Most people
generally use the Toy or Mini Poodle.  

The Cockapoo is a very intelligent sort of animal in that
it retains the keen since of the Cocker Spaniel while
also having the quick alertness of the Poodle.  They
are warm and affectionate, full of energy and love to be
with people.  They are also very loyal to their owners.  

Cockapoos are the perfect pet for those who have
allergies as well.  They are low to no shedding and
don't have the issues with dander like you find with
other dogs. Thus making it more susceptible for people
with allergies to have that pet they always wanted.

Cockapoos  coat texture and size: they generally have
a rather curly texture to their coat, more so than the
Cocker Spaniel but usually not as curly as the Poodle.  
They can range anywhere from smallest being 8 - 15
lbs. to larger being 18 - 25 lbs.  Some can get as big
as 30 lbs..  Some can also remain shorter than others
while actually weighing more than their counterparts
while a taller Cockapoo may weigh less than the
shorter Cockapoo.  Size has a lot to do with bone
structure. Whether they tend to be big boned or
smaller boned.  And yes, diet can play a big role too. A
good diet is very important.

Cockapoos life expectany can be as long as 15+ years
if taken care of.  If you are thinking about getting a
Cockapoo as your next family pet you should also no
that it is important as with any pet to keep them clean,  
and well groomed.  Keep the hair around their eyes
trimmed so not to interfere with their eye sight.  And all
areas that can become matted. Such as under their
arm pits, the tail area, and their ears.  

I highly reccommend that you do all the research you
can.  The more you know about the Cockapoo the
easier it will be for you to decide if this is the right pet
for you.  As with any pet though, lots of love and
affection, regular vet checks, and keeping them
groomed is the most important thing.
