Cockapoo

This adorable mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle is also sometimes called a “Cavoodle.” These little pups thrive on human companionship. Cavapoos are friendly, energetic, and intelligent, and come in variety of colors. Most often, these dogs have a soft, Poodle-like coat, but some have the Cavalier’s longer, silkier coat. Cavapoos make great companions, get along well with everyone (people and pets alike), and are happy living in any size home.

These proud, fluffy pups were originally hunting dogs in northern Europe. Poodles are extremely intelligent and easily trained dogs, and are fun to be around. They are often used in service and therapy work because of their devoted and pleasant personalities. Poodles are the only breed that come in three sizes (Standard, Miniature and Toy), and they do very well with children and other pets. They are fairly active; they enjoy swimming, running, and retrieving. Although nobody can make guarantees about allergies, Poodles are frequently known as hypoallergenic because they have human-like hair instead of fur.

Cocker Spaniels come from Spain, and were originally bred to hunt gamebirds. These dogs have beautiful, silky hair and a happy, sweet disposition that makes them excellent family dogs. Cocker Spaniels are incredibly gentle, and are a perfect mix of docile and playful. Medium-small in size, the long, fluffy ears and large, kind eyes of a Cocker Spaniel give it an adorable, warm look. These dogs would do well in an apartment or in a larger home.
