The Different Types of Cockapoo

A perfect combination of the sweet-natured Cocker Spaniel and the smart, sporty Poodle, Cockapoos are one of the oldest Doodle breeds around and incredibly popular with Poodle-mix fans. Also known as Cockapoodles, Cockerpoos, or Cock-a-Poos, these darling dogs are highly adaptable, making them perfect for pretty much any type of family setup.

Lovable, loyal, and highly trainable, Cockapoos make great pets for those looking for a laid-back companion dog. While they are prone to quick bursts of energy and love to play with their owners, their exercise requirements are pretty modest compared to other Doodles. This, coupled with the fact that they are easy to care for and super effortless to fall in love with, means those who choose to take on one of these gorgeous pups never regret it.

Cockapoos have been around since roughly the 1950s, so they are fairly established as hybrid dogs. For this reason, you will likely be able to choose between the various Doodle generations as outlined below.

	1st Parent	2nd Parent	% Cocker Spaniel*	% Poodle*
F1 Cockapoo (first-generation)	Cocker Spaniel	Poodle	50%	50%
F1B Cockapoo (first-generation backcross)	F1 Cockapoo	Poodle	25%	75%
F1BB Cockapoo (first-generation backcross backcross)	F1B Cockapoo	Poodle	12.5%	87.5%
F2 Cockapoo (second-generation)	F1 Cockapoo	F1 Cockapoo	50%	50%
F2B Cockapoo (second-generation backcross)	F1 Cockapoo	F1B Cockapoo	37.5%	62.5%
F2B Cockapoo (alternate cross)	F2 Cockapoo	Poodle	25%	75%
F3 / Multigen Cockapoo	F1B Cockapoo or higher	F1B Cockapoo or higher	Varies	Varies

Just keep in mind that genes are funny old things. Opting for a puppy with more Cocker or Poodle DNA doesn’t necessarily mean you will end up with a dog that displays more of that breed’s physical or temperament traits.

Cockapoo Size Predictions

While the majority of Cockapoos will either be the result of a Cocker-Minature Poodle or Cockapoo pairing, Toy and even Standard Poodles have also been brought into the mix.

Add to this the fact (which people often don’t know) that Cocker Spaniels come in different sizes too – although these are not quite as varied as Poodles ­– and you’ve got yourself a lot of options.

Generally speaking, English Cocker Spaniels are larger than their American cousins. Moreover, Spaniels that are still bred to work can be both taller and heavier than companion dogs. There are also variations in temperament between these dogs.  

However, these are the generally recognized standards for each of the Cockapoo types:

	Maxi Cockapoo	Miniature Cockapoo	Toy Cockapoo	Teacup Cockapoo
Weight	Over 25 lbs	13-25 lbs	6-12 lbs	Under 6 lbs
Height*	16-22 inches	11-15 inches	10-11 inches	Under 10 inches
Age at Full-Grown	12-14 months	9-12 months	7-9 months	5-7 months

Growth patterns of Cockapoos vary based on their type and potential adult size. All dogs do the majority of their growing in the first six months of their lives. Smaller Doodles such as Teacups and Toys usually reach their adult height at this time, as well as more than 80% of their total weight.

Even Miniatures and Maxis will reach more than 75% of their adult height in this time and approximately 60% of their total weight. Cockapoos on the larger end of the spectrum will hit their full height by 12 months but may continue to increase in weight until they are around 14 months old.

The below Cockapoo size chart / graph shows the average weights by age (in weeks), by size of Cockapoo. It shows weight data from our Doodle Weight Prediction Calculator.

As of October 24, 2022, we’ve received over 8,800 accurate Cockapoo weight submissions through our calculator.

Maxi Cockapoos

Maxi Cockapoos often reach half their total weight around 5 months and their adult weight at 14 months.

So, you can calculate their potential adult weight at 18 weeks by taking what they weigh at that age and multiplying it by two.

Miniature Cockapoos

Miniature Cockapoos often reach half their total weight around 5 months and their adult weight at 12 months.

So, you can calculate their potential adult weight at 15 weeks by taking what they weigh at that age and multiplying it by two.

Toy Cockapoos

Toy Cockapoos often reach half their total weight around 3 months and their adult weight at 8 months.

So, you can calculate their potential adult weight at 15 weeks by taking what they weigh at that age and multiplying it by two.

Teacup Cockapoos

Teacup Cockapoos often reach half their total weight around 3 months and their adult weight at 6 months.

So, you can calculate their potential adult weight at 15 weeks by taking what they weigh at that age and multiplying it by two.

A different formula you could use is: 

At What Age Are Cockapoos Considered Fully Grown?

Cockapoos can reach their adult size anywhere between 5 and 14 months, depending on their type and potential adult size – the bigger the dog, the longer they will need to get there. Your puppy’s breeder should be able to give you more information about this.

As with all dogs, though, Cockapoos reach their adult height first and quite early on. They then continue to increase in weight as their muscles fill out for a couple of months more.

How Big is a Full-Grown Cockapoo?

Again, depending on the parent dogs, your full-grown Cockapoo might be six inches tall or 22 inches to the shoulder, and they can weigh as little as 4 pounds and as much as 30 pounds.

The type of Cockapoo you select will allow you to estimate their potential adult height. However, genes are unpredictable things, so you can never be entirely sure. The best thing to do is ask to see the mom and dad if you can. If not, you can track your pup’s growth with our handy Doodle puppy growth calculator.
