Cockerpoo vs Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Cockerpoos are small to medium companion dogs, a Cocker Spaniel–Poodle cross. Friendly, people‑focused and lively, they suit active families and first‑time owners. Many shed lightly but need regular grooming, daily training, and at least an hour’s physical and mental exercise.

Small, long-backed terrier with a distinctive silky topknot, the Dandie Dinmont is calm and affectionate at home but brave and determined outdoors. Originally bred to hunt otters and badgers, it has a low-shedding, high-maintenance coat and is rare, making responsible breeding vital.
