how big do cockapoos get

How big do Cockapoos get?” is a common question amongst those looking to add a Cocker Spaniel Poodle mix to their family. Size is definitely something important to consider when adding a dog to your family, as different sizes of dogs may be better fits for different families.

Even if you’re already the proud owner of a Cockapoo puppy, there’s a good chance you’re wondering what the average full grown Cockapoo size is to see how big your four-legged friend will get!

There are four common Cockapoo sizes to be aware of—teacup, toy, mini, and standard. Keep reading this article to learn how big do Cockapoos get, what factors play a role in the weight and height of a Cockapoo, and when do Cockapoos stop growing!

Teacup Cockapoo Size Full Grown

Teacup Cockapoos are the tiniest size of Cockapoo, though there is some debate as to whether it is a “real” size. It’s important to keep in mind that being a mixed breed, the Cockapoo doesn’t have “official” size classes and each breeder may refer to their litters in different ways.

In order to achieve this Teacup Cockapoo size, a Toy Poodle is usually bred with a small Toy Cockapoo. This will produce consistently smaller puppies than you’d get by breeding the Cocker Spaniel directly to the Poodle.

With any “teacup” dog it’s important to pay close attention to breeding practices as some unethical breeders will prioritize tiny size over optimal health. This is yet another reason why I recommend that all responsible dog owners get pet insurance!

The Toy Poodle will typically be around 10 inches tall and weigh under 10 pounds. The Toy Cockapoo size will stand roughly 10-11 inches (25-28 cm) tall and weigh between 7-12 pounds (3-5.5 kg).

So, how big do Teacup Cockapoos get? The Teacup Cockapoo size full grown will be less than 10 inches (25 cm) in height and weigh under 7 pounds (3 kg).

Toy Cockapoo Size Full Grown

The Toy Cockapoo size is one step larger than the Teacup Cockapoo size but still smaller than the Mini Cockapoo size. It is typically the result of breeding the Toy Poodle with a Mini Cockapoo.

The first parent, the Toy Poodle, only gets to be 10 pounds (4.5 kg) and 10 inches (25 cm) tall at most. The second parent, the Mini Cockapoo, is slightly larger at 13-25 pounds (6-11 kg) and 12-15 inches (30-38 cm).

The Mini Cockapoo size is one of the most commonly bred. It is often the result of breeding a Mini Poodle with a Cocker Spaniel.

The Mini Poodle parent will weigh around 12-20 pounds (7-9 kg) and stand roughly 15 inches (38 cm) tall. The Cocker Spaniel, on the other hand, ranges in weight from 15 to 30 pounds (7-13.5 kg) and will be around 14-15 (35-38 cm) inches in height.

How big do Mini Cockapoos get? The Mini Cockapoo size generally is between 13 and 25 pounds (6-11 kg) and 12 to 15 inches (30-38 cm) tall.

Standard Cockapoo Size Full Grown

The Standard Cockapoo size, sometimes referred to as the Maxi Cockapoo, is the largest variety of this breed. It’s a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel.

The Cocker Spaniel parent usually weighs in between 15-30 pounds (7-13.5 kg) while standing 14-15 inches (35-38 cm) tall. The Standard Poodle can get quite big, weighing 45 to 70 pounds (20-32 kg) and measuring in at 18 to 24 inches (46-61 cm) in height.

How Big Do Standard Cockapoos Get?

How big do Standard Cockapoos get? A Standard Cockapoo is generally between 25-40 pounds (11-18 kg) and will be roughly 16-22 inches (41-56 cm) tall at the shoulders.

Keep in mind that sizes can vary depending on how large or small the specific parents are. For that reason you can sometimes find Mini Cockapoos that are larger than Standard Cockapoos!

What Impacts the Height and Weight of a Cockapoo?

Needless to say, there are many factors that dictate the size your Cockapoo will be once they are fully grown. The weight and height of the parents, the puppy’s gender, and which generation of Cockapoo your dog is are just a few.

Due to the unpredictability of genetics, it’s sometimes difficult to predict precisely how large or small your Cockapoo will end up being, but these factors help us come up with ballpark estimates.

The most important factor is the size of the puppy’s parents. Genetic traits that are passed down from parents to puppies play a huge role in how big a Cockapoo will end up being.

If both parents are on the smaller size, the litter is likely to be comprised of smaller pups. If both parents are larger, the puppies will likely be larger as well. Again, keep in mind that genetics are tough to predict and almost never a sure thing.

A second factor to consider in answering the question of “how big do Cockapoos get” is the gender of the puppy. Should you select a male vs female Cockapoo? All else being equal, male dogs tend to be taller and weigh more than females. Usually this difference is relatively small at about 10%.

Be aware that in the smaller Teacup Cockapoo size, Toy Cockapoo size, and Mini Cockapoo size, these gender differences in height and weight may not be as noticeable as in the larger, Standard Cockapoo size.

Lastly, we’ll discuss how the generation of Cockapoo your dog is also plays a part in their fully grown size. A Cockapoo’s “generation” is a term that describes the genetic makeup of your dog and how similar it is to that of a Poodle or a Cocker Spaniel.

Sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Don’t worry! Take a look at our article on Cockapoo generations to learn all about it!

Simply put, the higher percentage of the larger dog (sometimes the Cocker Spaniel and sometimes the Poodle depending on size) the larger the Cockapoo is likely to be.

When Do Cockapoos Stop Growing?

We now know the answer to, “how big do Cockapoos get?” However, how long does it usually take for Cockapoos to become full size? In other words, when do Cockapoos stop growing?

Cocker Spaniels tend to reach their fully grown height at around 12 months of age. However, it takes them a little longer to reach their adult weight—usually another 6-8 months or so. Poodles are generally done growing around 18 months of age.

Cockapoos will usually achieve their full grown size by 12-18 months of age with 24 months being the maximum. Smaller Cockapoo sizes like the Teacup and Toy will usually be done growing before a Mini or Standard Cockapoo size.
