5. Toy Cockapoo Lifespan

Smaller dogs have a longer lifespan on average than larger dogs. A Toy Cockapoo can live up to 17 years. There is a lot of evidence that small dogs live longer without definite answers as to why? What is known though is that large dogs age faster and the inherent accelerated cell growth rate leads to genetic problems like cancer. Another theory is that larger dogs come from a smaller gene pool of fewer breeding pairs which increases mortality rate.

6. How Much Does A Toy Cockapoo cost in 2024?

In researching this article I noticed the proliferation of advertisements on the popular advertisement sites. But be careful about low prices. This often is an indication of poor breeding practices. If the price is lower than £900 be very detailed with the questions you ask before you put a deposit down. The upper price limit is around £1,300.

7. Black Toy Cockapoo

Two tone and tri colour Cockapoos are more expensive than solid colour Cockapoos. This is because they are not as ubiquitous. It would be easier to find a Black Toy Cockapoo.
