  • I received my first cockapoo puppy, Zoomer years ago and we instantly fell in love with Sailor, our new pup. He has been a complete joy so far, and will be even more joyful once he is finished teething! We couldn't love our two Cockapoo boys more!!!!
  • Our lIttle cockapoo is very healthy and playful and loving. We couldn't be happier with him. Our springer spaniel is very fond of him and they play well together. He is the brightest spot in every day for our family.

The Cockapoo is a mixed breed, achieved by crossing a Cocker Spaniel with a Poodle. This breed is one of the older “designer” breeds, dating back to the 1960s. Cockapoos are completely people-oriented, compassionate, intelligent and make excellent pets for families with children. These adorable dogs tend to be small in size, but have huge personalities! Cockapoos are intelligent and excel at many things, including agility and therapy.
