About Santino

The Cockapoo is a delightful and affectionate hybrid breed, resulting from the cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. As a highly adaptable and intelligent breed, Cockapoos have quickly gained popularity among dog enthusiasts since their emergence in the 1950s. They are known for their friendly and loving temperament, making them excellent companions for families, seniors, and singles alike. 

These adorable doodle dogs come in a range of sizes, mainly determined by their Poodle parent's size—Toy, Miniature, or Standard. Their coats, which can be wavy or curly, come in various colors, including black, white, cream, and apricot. Due to their Poodle lineage, Cockapoos tend to have hypoallergenic coats, making them a great choice for people with allergies. 

Cockapoos are known for their sociable nature, getting along well with children, other pets, and even strangers. They are highly trainable, thanks to their intelligence and eagerness to please, making them suitable for various roles, from therapy dogs to agility competitors. However, their energy levels and exercise needs can vary, so it's essential to provide them with regular physical activity and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy.
