Are Cockapoo Dogs Playful Dogs?

    One of the things we really love about canines is their playfulness. But some breeds are usually more playful than others.

    In the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the dog breeds that tend to be the most fun loving. It's significant to bear in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, typically need lots of mental and physical stimulation so they don't become bored.

    You should keep in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are obsessed with playing fetch, and there are most likely even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

    Of course, with any of these breeds, a dog's health and age will influence his level of liveliness. Even with these breeds, you should have a vet inspect your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.

    Top 5 Most Playful Dog Breeds

    1. English Springer Spaniel - A versatile and lively breed, they are generally has plenty of energy and usually enjoys a great play session-- especially if it's with his family. Encourage his playful nature through activities like fetch, hiking, tracking, agility and flyball.

    2. Labrador Retriever - Labs are usually fun-loving and playful demeanors are definitely part of it.

    3. Papillon - Pappillion's are small, spunky and smart, this breed needs to be entertained - or she'll find a way to amuse herself.

    4. Bearded Collie - These dogs are known for his signature welcoming, and is usually a boisterous and exuberant breed who will entertain you with his clownish antics.

    5. Beagle - This breed is led by his nose, and likes to have lots of opportunity to use his powerful sniffer. That can be as simple as your hiding treats around your house or taking him on long, meandering walks outdoors.

Cockapoo Information

The Cockapoo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. Note: some Cockapoo clubs are working toward making the Cockapoo a purebred dog by multi-generation crossing, while other breeders are sticking to the basic Poodle / Cocker mix, stating they wish to preserve the heterosis effect in the hybrid mix. Ask the breeder you contact which type of Cockapoo they are breeding.

Cockapoos have become popular because they generally combine the outgoing, loving personality of the Cocker Spaniel with the low-shedding, low-dander qualities of the Poodle. Cockapoos are active, and thrive when they receive regular exercise. Cockapoos can be very agile, excelling at "retrieve" games and enjoying activities such as swimming. Cockapoos are frequently very needy dogs and as such are not suitable to be left alone for long periods as they frequently suffer from separation distress or anxiety. The Cockapoo is a cross-breed, not a purebred, and does not "breed true." In breeders' terms, "breeding true" means that the pups will have consistently predictable characteristics. Cockapoos, however, may inherit the characteristics of either or both their parent breeds. While some Cockapoos appear more similar to Cocker Spaniels, others will exhibit more Poodle traits, creating a variation in Cockapoo appearance and temperament.
