<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: They Are Rated Highly
A cockapoo is a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, first bred in the 1960s. They are considered intelligent and easy to train. They are playful and affectionate, offering children plenty of exercise and love. They also don't shed and are hypoallergenic, so they are a good choice for a family. Moreover, they tend to get along with other pets.
On the Other: Nothing is Perfect
Every animal is an individual, so there's no guarantee a dog will behave exactly the way most members of the breed behave. Cockapoos also can grow to almost 20 pounds, so they might be hard for small children to handle. In addition, they tend to bark a lot, even when they are being friendly, which could alarm or frighten children.
Bottom Line
Generally, cockapoos are a great pets for children. Get all the information you can about the dog's parents, though, before bringing one home. Playful, easy-to-train dogs usually have similar offspring.
