Questions people ask before becoming an owner
Before you become a Cockapoo owner there is a lot of things that you should think about. Cockapoo’s are active dogs and you have to think long and hard about whether they will suit your current lifestyle and things like grooming costs, food costs and how much time you spend at work should be taken into account.
A lot of people want to get a Cockapoo because they have heard they do not shed, or that they are good for people with allergies. Hopefully the below articles will help you.
