With the rising costs of purchasing a purebred dog, mixed breeds such as cockapoos have become popular with dog lovers worldwide but is it easier to train a mixed breed dog or a purebred? Combining two purebreds isn't necessarily the answer to improving breed health or making a dog easier to train. There are multiple factors to consider, such as a breed's inherent traits.

It was a perfect cross because the sensible and eager-to-please Labrador traits made Cassie super easy to train with the best dog treats and counteracted the whippet's sighthound traits.
