A cockerpoo is a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle.
They are also known as a cockapoo or cock-a-poo and are one of the oldest designer dogs.
The Pack is Important
Cocker spaniel dogs have above average intelligence, are easy to train and want to please.
They are happy and playful dogs and not extremely active.
They love being around their family, love attention and love being loved! Snuggle on the couch with them as you read or watch tv.
