How Long Do Cockapoos Live?

Cockapoos can live for approximately fifteen years. This is just a reference guide and not set in stone. Some Cockapoos can live shorter or longer than this age. Cockapoos tend to live long because they are smaller dogs. Bigger dogs tend not to live as long.

How long Cockapoos live depends on the genetics of their pet parents and their background. It also depends on their lifestyle, diet, and exercise and how they are cared for as a loving member of a family. How long Cockapoos live will vary from one dog to another in this breed, with overall health playing a part, as well as gender.

What is a Cockapoo ?

The term 'Cockapoo' is a generic name for several variations on a theme, of a cross-breed dog, depending on parentage - so it would be impossible to exact a "Breed Standard" on it.

A Cockapoo, which is the mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, is generally accepted as loving; loyal; cuddly; fun; energetic and totally domesticated family pets.

Cockapoos have been known in the United States since about 1950 and are one of the oldest of the hybrid dog breeds.

The earliest known dictionary reference was a 1960 Oxford English Dictionary citation. When new to this country nearly 10 years ago they were given the label of 'designer dogs'. We already have Cockapoos who are 8 and 9 years old in GB and as their popularity continues to increase, their substantial list of qualities are being appreciated, so the label has been dropped as the dogs have gained recognition.

The first cross with a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle results in the 'F1' Cockapoo. This is generally considered to be the most stable mating giving the most consistent results, with the added benefit of “Hybrid-Vigor” - in most cases the resultant offspring can be as much as an inch larger than the parents when adulthood is reached.

There is also no worry of in-breeding / line breeding for this cross. With an “F1” Cockapoo - which breed is mum and which breed is dad may have an effect on the resulting offspring but both options are equally acceptable for producing beautiful F1 Cockapoos.

Hope you’re enjoying your Cockapoo or looking forward to getting one..
