Cockapoo puppy: what to buy, and what size
A cockapoo's adult size depends on which poodle the breeder used, miniature or standard, so ask before you buy anything sized. Most British cockapoos suit a 30in crate; a large one wants 36in. The coat is usually the bigger job: a fleece or wool coat mats behind the ears and under the legs, and a comb finds it before the groomer does.
Adult crate size: 30in for most; 36in if the poodle parent was standard. Sizes are given against the adult dog, because that is what you should buy for.
