Get to know your cockapoo first!
Before you search for top dog names for a cockapoo, you must know a little bit about its history. Breeding dogs of two different pedigree breeds is not a new phenomenon. However, the interest in this concept has grown considerably over the past few decades. This is because; designer dogs – the result of breeding two distinct breeds – have fewer health issues and some of the resulting crossbreeds are also hypoallergenic. Additionally, when purchased from ethical and reputed breeders, you will find that mixed breed puppies carry the best traits of both parents. Here are some desirable characteristics in the Cockapoo that make them one of the most wanted designer breed in America:
- They have the shiny and curly coat of the Cocker and the Poodle. The Poodle’s curly and unique coat is a desirable feature for many pet owners.
- Poodles shed little and that makes them a desirable breed for allergic humans.
- In fact; the reason for crossing poodles with other breeds was owing to the hypoallergenic coat.
- The aim of developing designer breeds from Poodles was that the resulting dogs would be used as guide dogs for blind people who were often allergic to dog hair.
