Appearance

Cockapoos have three different basic coat types that come in a variety of colors. Straight, wavy, and tightly curled in black, cream, apricot, red, and chocolate. Some Cockapoos also have solid colors and distinct abstract markings, like a white back and an apricot chest. This breed does benefit from routine brushing and monthly bathing to prevent their coats from forming knots and matting. For straight coat types, it is wise to brush your dog’s coat at least four times per week. For those who have wavy coat types, at least five brushings per week are suggested. For Cockapoos with tightly curled coats, you should consider brushing daily to keep tangles from forming.

Care

The Cockapoo does best having a daily feeding schedule consisting of two feedings per day, every twelve hours. This will allow for proper nutrition intake as well as prevent over-feeding, which could result in weight issues. Being sure to use quality dog food is also a great way to keep your dog healthy and feeling his best. Don’t forget to brush his teeth at least three times a week and to keep his nails clipped. These small but essential items are important for his overall health.
