Breed Summary

Cockapoos are people-oriented and affectionate, and they get along well with children and other dogs, making them a great family pet. They are generally happy, friendly, and eager to please. They will typically keep themselves busy with games around the home, exploring their yard (if they have one), and just visiting with all of their humans, but they will still need regular walks for both exercise and socialization with people and other pups. Cockapoos are intelligent enough that training should be a snap, and they also excel at agility training and learning new tricks. They can be ideal therapy dogs. As active as they are, don’t be surprised if their favorite thing to do is just snuggle up and soak up your love and affection.
