Cockinese

Cockinese History

The Cockapoo is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poochon. However, the Cockapoo is distinguished from the more common coonhound-poodle cross due to the parent breeds being of different sexes. A cocker spaniel female and a poodle male create a cocker spaniel-doodle mix, while a cocker spaniel male and a poodle female form a doodle-cocker spaniel mix. The Cockapoo is a medium-sized, sturdy, and well balanced hybrid. They are fairly intelligent, although they can tend to be quite stubborn. The Cockapoo learns new commands very easily, and can easily retain them when trained. The Cockapoo is a fairly even-tempered, playful, loyal, and friendly family pet. The tail of the Cockapoo is docked, and this, combined with the smooth hair coat, makes the coat fairly easy to groom. The coat of the Cockapoo is hypoallergenic, meaning that it doesn’t cause allergies in many people. The origin of the name “Cockapoo” is uncertain. One possibility is that the word was an abbreviation of Cocker Spaniel/Poodle/Affin, the name given to a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle until the ASPCA officially recognized it as a separate species. Another possible explanation is that the breeder named the dog after someone.

Cockinese Activity Requirements

Cocker Spaniels are small, loving, and loyal. They make great house pets, as they do not do well in outdoor situations. They are intelligent and easy to train, and they make wonderful companions. Although they are small, Cocker Spaniels do require regular exercise. A daily walk around the block or a game of fetch in the yard will help keep them healthy and fit. A bored or lonely Cocker Spaniel will become destructive and start to act out, so be sure to provide enough attention to keep them happy.
