Cockapoos are a designer breed, which is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. They are often considered to be hypoallergenic due to their Poodle heritage, but it’s important to note that there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog. Even breeds that are considered to be hypoallergenic produce some level of dander, saliva, and urine that can trigger an allergic reaction.

Poodles are considered to be hypoallergenic because they have a non-shedding coat, which means they don’t shed as much as other breeds. This is due to the hair growing continuously and not falling out like in other breeds. Cocker spaniels, on the other hand, have a longer, silky coat that does shed but not as heavy as some breeds.

Cockapoos inherit traits from both parents, and their coat can vary depending on the genetics of the parents. Some Cockapoos may have a coat that is more like a Poodle’s and shed less, while others may have a coat that is more like a Cocker Spaniel’s and shed more. Therefore, it’s hard to generalize if all Cockapoos are hypoallergenic or not.

It’s important to note that even if a dog is considered hypoallergenic, it still produces dander, urine and saliva, which can still cause an allergic reaction. However, Cockapoos with a coat more like Poodles tend to be less allergenic than other breeds. It’s always recommended that people with allergies considering a Cockapoo, or any other breed of dog, meet and spend time with the dog before committing to bring it home, and see how their allergy react to the dog.
