Ten Reasons Why Cockapoos Are the Best Designer Dogs

1. They can be small dogs (miniature poodle/cocker spaniel combination), but not so small you can easily step on and hurt them.
2. They're all different - one might look like a poodle, another more like a cocker spaniel.
3. They're sweet dogs.
4. If you have an allergy to dogs, you probably won't react to a Cockapoo pup.
5. They need to be groomed regularly, but it's kinda fun to do it yourself.
6. They are easily housetrained (relative to other types of dogs).
7. They're extremely photogenic.
8. They love to play, play, play!
9. People have a good time guessing what breed they are.
10. You meet a lot of people when you walk your Cockapoo pup!

Meet Alvin, a Bichon Cockapoo 

Alvin, born 2/7/2009 and named after the worst behaved of the three chipmunks, arrived in CT in April of 2009. He's been a delight and a challenge ever since.

He's a handsome Bichon Cockapoo (1/2 Bichon Frise, 1/4 cocker, 1/4 poodle), truly a mixed breed dog.

You can view his video I Am Puppy on animoto.

Meet Simon, a Cockapoo 

Simon, Alvin's bro, born 6/4/2009, looks like a cocker spaniel. He's Alvin's playmate and Alvin's his protector.

Simon (Sir Simon the Sad) loves all food and treats, playing with Alvin, and pretends to be feisty but most times is really so scared he runs behind his owner. Right now he's a whopping 11 pounds, but should grow to about 20 pounds.

You can view his video I Am Puppy, Too on Animoto.
