At around 12-15lbs fully grown, and about 12-15in shoulder height, Mini cockapoos are a true medium- sized pup. They may even fit on your lap (depending on the size of your lap of course!). They are a medium energy hypoallergenic dog and love their daily walks & playtime, after which they are normally happy to snuggle up under you or play couch potato.

Please don’t adopt one unless you are willing and able to walk & play with it every day.

As a breeder, I chose Mini Cockapoos because they are one of the most prestigious and well-known poodle hybrids, close to aussiedoodle and goldendoodles (which we also offer). Since the 1960’s cockapoos have been very popular due to being engineered in accord with natural doggy design (no squished faces, wonky legs, or short airways), so they have the best chance to be mechanically healthy. In addition, we do all we can to prevent genetic illness in our dogs by never inbreeding.

Mini Cockapoos are a non-to-minimal-shedding breed ideal for people with mild dog allergies that prefer to keep the dog groomed rather than clean up hair. Many people who react to “normal” dogs are fine around mini cockapoos. However, if in doubt you should ask to be invited to our next Puppy Meet & Greet day and grab a few cuddles with our dogs to test it out yourself first or look out for one at your local park or beach, or at a dog show. You could also ask your local Mini Cockapoo Facebook community if there’s someone who lives nearby who you could buy a coffee for and a puppicino for their mini cockapoo

They are intelligent, easily trained, and are full of both character and personality – truly bred to be the best companion anyone could ask for!

Though great watchdogs, they are not “yappy” like so many small breeds tend to be. Mini cockapoos are a vocal breed, but not overwhelmingly vocal. They will speak their piece, then go back to regular scheduled programming. Whatever comes up that looks strange, that they haven’t been conditioned to see as part of “normal” when they are puppies, they will bark to sound the alarm – and most importantly, warn you! Typically, they then quickly quiet down. However, any dog of any breed that hasn’t been properly socialized as a pup, and/or doesn’t have enough exercise, stimulation and socialization in its life is likely to go nuts and bark too much – even at “normal” things.

Highly sociable, mini cockapoos tend to get along with other animals, children and people very well if properly socialised as a pup. We go to extensive measures to ensure your puppy has optimal socialization by the time they are ready to go home with you.

Personality varies from individual to individual (which is why we test them!). Many mini cockapoos are playful, cheeky, mischievous and energetic, and are a delight for any owner, whether a first-time pet owner or an experienced dog parent!
