Cockapoo

Spaniel-poodle hybrid

A cockapoo is a dog bred from a cocker spaniel and a poodle.

Like other poodle crosses, cockapoos are marketed as hypoallergenic and low-shedding, though results vary.

The breed emerged in the 1960s as one of the first deliberate "designer dog" mixes: Our cockapoo has the poodle's curly coat but the spaniel's temperament.
