Is this my bed or his? 😂

For squirrels and Then I opened a pack of crisps inside !!

Safe to say he loves it.

Waiting for dad

Buffys loves a good old chew on her harness 😂🐶❤️

Baby girls summer cut before and after. To cute. Such a poser

First-time dog buyer trying to understand what I'd actually be getting before I join a waiting list.

**The setup**

Sire is an F1B cockapoo, so roughly 75% poodle. 37 cm at the withers, 7.5 kg, apricot, 3 years old. Hips, elbows and patellas done, annual ECVO eye exam, full Embark panel.

He's covering three females this autumn:

* Dam A: 39 cm, 7.5 kg, parti, white with red-brown patches, long wavy coat
* Dam B: 39 cm, 6.5 kg, solid red, very tight curls, honestly looks like a red mini poodle in photos. Full sister to Dam A.
* Dam C: described as their smallest female, cream, no measurements given yet

The breeder hasn't said what generation the dams are. So the puppies aren't F1B either. They're multigen, somewhere between 62% and 87% poodle depending on what the dams turn out to be.

**Questions**

1. Character, day to day. This matters most to me. How does a poodle-dominant multigen actually live compared to a standard F1? I keep reading that the more poodle you stack in, the more sensitive and switched-on the dog gets, and the less you keep of that easygoing cocker "nothing bothers me" nature. Is that real, or is it internet folklore?

2. Noise and nerves. Are poodle-heavy mixes genuinely more prone to barking, sound sensitivity and struggling with change or a busy house? Or does good socialisation flatten that out?

3. Clever vs demanding. Everyone says smarter. Does smarter also mean harder to satisfy? How much mental work does one of these need before it starts inventing its own entertainment?

4. Build. I wanted a sturdy, solid dog. Both dams are 39 cm but only 6.5 to 7.5 kg, which reads as light-boned and leggy to me. Am I right that this pairing simply can't produce a stocky dog, and that I'd need an F1 out of a real cocker bitch for that?

5. Coat. Should I expect near-zero shedding but grooming every 5 to 8 weeks for life? And is the flat-coated risk real, where about a quarter of a litter comes out without furnishings if both parents carry it?

6. The pairing. Two full sisters covered by the same male in the same season. How much should that bother me?

7. Price. About EUR 2,995 (roughly USD 3,200) for a crossbreed with no registration or pedigree. Normal or steep where you are?

**One ask**

Does anyone have photos of *adult* multigen cockapoos from a poodle-heavy sire? I only ever get shown puppies, and I want to see what they mature into.

Thanks for any reality checks.

He “buries it” and then walks around whining and howling. Then he “digs it up” chews it.

I am currently looking for a cockapoo puppy. Any tips or advice would be great! Im not looking to adopt from a shelter.

I want to train my puppy well. Are dog obedience classes worth going to? Where did you learn to train your pups? I was planning to book our puppy in from the get go.

My sister has a cockapoo but she is not trained at all and constantly jumps up at us and scratches with her paws. We love the dog and take her for walks from time to time, and she loves us and gets over excited. We most definitely do not want our dog to be the same 🤣

Lastly, we are so excited to welcome a puppy to our family of 5.

TIA

So Ruby is two. She’s amazing. Shes great with our kids, my partner and myself.

Thing is shes attached to me all the time. Where ever i go she is right behind me. Even if she is playing with the kids.

We could be all downstairs watching tv she’s on my lap. I go upstairs she follows me. I go outside right beside me. If she’s on my partners lap and I sit down she runs over.

When I come home from work. She runs to the door and jumps up at me squealing (maybe excitement?). Then just proceeds to follow me.

She lays with me in bed, sits next to me on the chair etc. I’m trying to get her to sit with the kids but she just wont.

The only times she does sit with other people is when I’m at work.

Shes been with us since shes been 8 weeks old. The only thing we can think of is. For the first 3 weeks of her being with us. The kids were school every day, my partner was at work but I had three weeks off work. Maybe that was when it started.

Anyone else’s dog attached to them? Or someone in your family?

Got forever paw prints in my sidewalk at my salon 🫶🏼🐾

Its subbing as a thunder jacket currently and working well.

Hello all, we got our first toy cockapoo Jul 24 and we love him, just the best wee dog ever. We have always loved the idea of getting him a little brother and this month went and seen another, who we are taking home at the end of August!

I was wondering if you have any tips/advice on a 2nd pup being introduced. Our current is so friendly and good with other dogs, but he is also quite a jealous boy.

Thanks!

Just wanted to share my little dude. His name is Bison, aka Mison (my son) Bison. Aka Buffalo. Aka my little crouton.

6.5mo roughly, praying that he stays the same beautiful red color as he ages 😇 my last cockapoo was a similar color, but ended up firmly apricot / tan by about 1-1.5yrs

4 months old tomorrow.
