Cockapoo Puppies Are Guaranteed To Give Unlimited Love And Fun

By Tamera Keith


There are many benefits of having a pet in the house. A dog teaches children responsibility, it is fun to play with it and it offers unlimited love to its owners. It is important, however, to think very carefully about the type of dog that will best fit in with the lifestyle of the family. Cockapoo puppies are so popular because they are deemed to be one of the most lovable breeds.

The name of this breed may be unfamiliar to many people, but they have been around and popular since the early sixties. It is a hybrid breed between a poodle and a cocker spaniel and it retains the best characteristics of both breeds. From the poodle it kept its intelligence, low shedding and its odorless nature. The cocker spaniel contributes friendliness, boundless love and an easygoing nature.

These dogs are well known for being the perfect companionship breed. They love human company and easily suffer from separation anxiety if they are left alone for long periods. Owners should keep this in mind when considering this breed. After early socialization classes they eagerly accept strangers and they almost never feel threatened by other dogs or pets.

This breed is generally healthy and they seldom develop diseases that are typical of hybrid breeds. However, new owners should be aware that the floppy eras can cause ear infections. There is also a danger of cataracts and liver disease. Regular visits to the vet will help ensure that any sign of disease is recognized and treated early.

This type of dog does not require special care but they must sleep indoors with their owners. They loathe being left alone and if they are forced to spend the night in a kennel outside they will almost certainly suffer from separation anxiety. Owners should take them for walks regularly and avoid the urge to carry them at all times.

Although these dogs are one of the friendliest breeds care should still be taken to teach young kids to be careful when handling them. They should be taught never to approach the dog when it is sleeping or eating and they should be shown how to hold the puppy in order to avoid discomfort or even injury.

Because they are so popular there are many disreputable breeders offering them for sale at discount prices. Unfortunately, dogs bought from these breeders often display dormant health problems and they may even suffer from personality disorders. Reputable breeders will be able to provide a veterinary clearance certificate and proof that the puppy has received all prescribed inoculations.

Cockapoo puppies are most certainly one of the most adorable and lovable dog breeds around. Most owners dote on them and will not even think of going anywhere without them. They are sociable and they are great companions for lonely, elderly and even sick people. As with all pets, however, careful thought should be given beforehand to ensure that the dog will fit into the lifestyle of the household.
