Help - Cockapoo or Labradoodle?
Labradoodles are very similar to
the cockapoo in many ways. Both breeds are people oriented and
great companions. Both are water loving, playful and fun to be with for
kids as well as adults. The cockapoo, obviously, is available in a
smaller size and the labradoodle in larger sizes. Our cockapoos
(on average) range from 6 – 45 lbs with the labradoodles averaging
20-50 lbs. Cockapoos allow more selection of colors due to their
background having more variety.
Coat types are more stable in the
cockapoo as no-shed puppies are the norm, while doodles (at least in
first generation) are much more likely to shed than not. Further
generations on doodles and those bred back to a poodle (f1b, or other
generation bred back - we like the f3b combo also ) are less likely to
shed, and in fact have coats types that are almost identical to the
cockapoo. Again we can identify these pups before they leave so you can
make your decision.
