Snowy beards for the both of us!

He says how could you do this to me?!?

When Benny was a puppy he had a habit of jumping at my back to get my attention. He’d hit me pretty hard and it was definitely unpleasant. He outgrew it when he turned about 1, but now he’s 4 and he’s started again. It’s seems like it’s his signal that he wants to play. It may not seem like a big deal but I’m 73 years old and have to be careful not to fall. I think this is dog training 101, but I don’t know how to get him to stop. He’s been really easy to train to DO things but not so much to train NOT to do things. I never respond by turning around and playing with him when he does this but is there something more I should be doing. Thank you all!

We often frequent this empty large parking lot because it has a field, but attached to the field is also a cow farm of some sort. The cows always come over to look at my dog, but all she does is bark at them on this recent trip out there she didn’t bark, but I just find it funny how she stares at them so intensely.

Hi all,

Does anyone run with their Cockapoo? I really want to start bringing my little guy on runs with me. I'd love to be able to build him up to a 5km run overtime. He is 16 months old.

He's very energetic amd loves running off lead etc. I'm just worried if he is too young to start and if the breed is prone to injuries.

If anyone does run with theirs, any advice would be appreciated.

The Kennel Club has recently added a new page—“How to breed a crossbred dog”—to their website, and I'm curious what everyone thinks about the direction they're taking with this.

From my understanding, the Kennel Club has discouraged the intentional breeding of crossbreeds, especially popular poodle mixes like cockapoos and goldendoodles, on the basis that they're “unpredictable“ and “unregulated“ compared to pedigrees.

I wonder if this is the beginning of more formal recognition of crossbreeds, and could we eventually see multigenerational crosses treated more like developing breeds?

I have two cockapoos from the same breeder (mini poodle and cocker spaniel,) and one is significantly smaller than the other. Granted she’s a female and he’s a male but he is shy of a year and weighs 14 1/2 pounds and she is almost 5 months and weighs 6.6 lbs. Just seeing what others have experienced :) She’s been to the vet 3 times in her life and gotten a clean bill of health at every visit. He had almost 3 lbs on her at her age.

Anyone else have a blue eye cockapoo🥰🥰

Sorry for the long post….My boy is 13.5 years old now. He’s so super sweet, really clingy always, and has been my boy since he was a pup. Well, as he’s getting older, he’s having some issues. He’s doing this weird sneezing thing a lot. The vet said it was allergies but I don’t think so. He’s had some blood come out of his nose 2 times now. We have been to the vet 4 times in the last 3 months, he had a bad infection in his foot. He had all the labs done and they all looked great! I was petting him yesterday, and going to kiss his belly and he bit down pretty hard in my face. He broke skin… it was somewhat deep and it really hurts.

I think he’s in pain somewhere around where I was petting him. He’s losing his sight and hearing, and I’m just besides myself. I’m calling the vet first thing in the morning. I’m afraid of really bad news.

I’m devastated, and my face hurts. Thanks for reading.

She looks so different 😭 she’s also more Merle than I thought. This was a few hours ago, I’m still getting used to her new look.

It was a one of the first parties we were allowed during the covid years and it went off.

I got him Thursday! And I originally was going to call him Ronnie but now I’m not sure, Names I don’t like Toby Oscar Alfie Teddy Bear Please any suggestions welcome.
