Breed Characteristics
Cockapoo or Spoodle is the very popular, designer crossbreed of a Cocker spaniel and a miniature or toy poodle. They are extremely friendly to human, children and other pets alike. A Cockapoo is a terrific pup for first-time dog owners, families in search of an adorable playmate for children, or seniors who want an endearing companion.
In addition, their fur is often hypoallergenic due to its poodle parent. While the Mayo Clinic stresses that no dog is allergen-free, some people might have less reaction to the proteins found in a Cockapoo’s dander, saliva, and urine.
As Cockapoo are a cross breed, their fur can range from short smooth fur (like a cocker spaniel) to a wavy silky fur or a curly poodle coat. The latter two are especially popular due to their non shedding property.
They are a medium size breed, typically weighing between 10-12kg, not too small and not too big! Their fur colour ranges from cream, to red, to brown to black which comes with or without markings.
Cockapoos are very similar in looks and temperament to cavapoos and mini goldendoodles, with cavapoos being slightly smaller and mini goldendoodles slighly bigger.
Grooming Requirements
Cockapoos have a soft, curly or wavy coat that requires regular grooming to keep it clean, tangle-free, and healthy. The grooming requirements for a Cockapoo may vary depending on the length and thickness of their coat, but in general, they need to be brushed and groomed at least once a week.
Here are some grooming requirements and recommendations for Cockapoos:
- Brushing: Daily brushing is important to prevent tangle.
- Bathing: Cockapoos needs to be bathed every week in Singapore’s humid climate. Use a mild dog shampoo (we recommend Silky shampoo) and be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any skin irritation. Lastly, remember to blow dry to make sure the skin is completely dry to prevent skin issues.
- Trimming: Regular haircut is needed at professional dog groomer every 2-3 months for a full grooming service to prevent tangle and keep a neat appearance. There are many styles at your dog can try out to create many different look.
- Nail Clipping: The toe nails need to be clipped once every few months. Best to ask a professional groomer to do this to prevent bleeding when the nails are cut too close to the quick (blood vessel). avoid cutting too close to the quick.
- Teeth Cleaning: Brushing teeth daily is preferred, if not possible, weekly brushing is sufficient. Give raw bones regularly as enrichment which double as natural teeth cleaner.
- Ear Cleaning: Their ears may be prone to infection as it is dropping down which can trap heat and moisture especially in Singapore’s humid climate. Clean the ears with appropriate solution once a week.
