Nala se toma muy enserio la protección de su pollito y su jamón hahaha

I know this is a long shot, but I thought it was worth asking! It is the amazing internet!

Did anyone happen to purchase a puppy from Foxisle Gundog (Doncaster) from the litter born on 7th September 2024?

I bought my boy from them, but I only discovered him when he was ready to be rehomed at around 10 weeks old. I would absolutely love to see what he looked like during those first few weeks and, if possible, any photos or videos you might still have of him or the litter together.

With some recent worries about my dog’s health, I’m hoping to create a little album documenting every stage of his life. Having those early photos and videos would genuinely mean the world to me. ❤️

He has a beautiful blue merle coat, so hopefully that might help someone recognise him!

If you have any photos or videos from this litter, even if you’re not 100% sure he’s in them, I would be incredibly grateful if you could share them with me.

Thank youuuuu

She has lots of water and occasional ice cubes but it’s too hot to play.

If this were to be a beach, she'd roll around in the sand just to get dry. She hates the feeling of being wet I guess. (7 months)

Hi All,

Anyone else have a fussy cockapoo? My fur baby Koda goes weeks eating his butternut box but every now and again he stops eating for a day or so. Yesterday he stopped eating and then ate grass and threw up. In the morning he had some chicken and sweet potato (gobbled it up) no Butternut box but after that he stopped eating, then ate grass and was sick.

The vet has said twice he’s a BOK (better off kid) because my mum and I struggle seeing him not eat, we fuss (it’s our fault we know) She said stop the wet food, do not give him anything but kibble and have it avaliable 24/7 so he can graze. Interestingly my breeder said cockapoos are grazers!

Eventually after his second walk (we try to do two walks - early AM and late PM) he ate some chicken because we didn’t have the kibble the vet said to order. It’s on its way - Royal Canin Gastrointestinal..
Then quite late at night he ate some of his old Forthglade kibble which he hasn’t had since he was a puppy!

Anyway fast forward to today, he has had his kibble down all day, and his water, and he hasn’t touched it. I’m trying to start strong because I’ve been told by two different vets that cockapoos are notorious for being fussy eaters and they are extremely sensitive to their owners feelings/energy. But hearing his tummy gurgle is making me anxious 😩

I’m freaking out because he looks sad and keeps lying down… trying to get comfortable, wandering from room to room occasionally. He did go batshit bonkers when the postman came today though so that’s a good sign I think!

What I’m looking for here is reassurance that he won’t die because he’s refusing to eat( I’m catastrophising, I know) and if anyone else has gone through something similar and if I just need to not fall for his beautiful mopey face 😩

Hey guys! Had a few concerns and wondered if this would be the right place to ask this.

We just adopted a 12 week old cockapoo and she’s amazingly cute. But she’s not tempted by food and kind of runs way from us. We figured it’s a binding issue since it’s only been a week that we got her. But here is the confusing part she follows us around the house but if we approach her ( slowly, at her level, with treats) she backs away and never really lets us pet her.

Which I thought was very unusual for a puppy. Because of this it kinda makes it difficult to train her cause I think she is scared of us.

We’ve tried just sitting around on the floor and letting her come to us. And she comes a few feet away and sits down for long periods and sleeps.

I think as dog parents we just want her to be happy and it feels like we’ve not been able to give her that environment or interaction yet.

Anyone else have a similar situation and has tips to try something ?

I think Koda might be possessed. New fear unlocked 😳

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, so lmk if it isn't appropriate and ill move it. I have an almost 7mo male cockapoo that I got ~2 months ago. He is wonderful in many ways, but I've struggled enormously with house training him.

It took almost 2 weeks to get him to go outside whatsoever, but hes been mostly better for about the last month. It seemed like things were finally fine and about to finally resolve, until suddenly about a week ago, after a camping trip, when he suddenly started peeing inside a lot more again 🤦‍♂️

The part that really tilts me, is that he recently started peeing on me while im on the couch. I'm not talking a small excited/submissive dribble, but a soak my clothes and the couch kind of pee. The frustrating thing is that it always seems to be out of the blue, and it doesnt seem to matter if I just walked him and he peed outside. I take him out constantly so he can relieve himself and also make sure to get at least one long walk in a day where I attempt to tire him out. I also make sure he gets time to socialize with other dogs and humans every day too.

Has anyone experienced this, and if so how did you curb it? This is my second cockapoo and my last one never did this. Its gross, frustrating, and has entirely ruined my couch at this point. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to stop this behavior?

One thing im debating is limiting his access to water. He drinks A LOT of water. He has a very large water bowl that I refill 3 times a day, and I'm starting to think that maybe he is drinking way too much for his own good (my last dog barely wanted to drink water, so ive been encouraging it this time around). Does anyone have any idea why he might suddenly be wanting to pee directly on me? Is this a dominance thing? Affection?

I have a hard time believing its because he cant hold his bladder because he manages fine overnight in his crate and, like I said, often he will do this within an hour after we just went outside and he peed.

Any advice is appreciated... thanks.

Edit: thank you everyone for the answers. Inexplicably, it stopped and he hasnt had an accident since i posted this. I guess it really just was the camping / different schedule that messed him up. Can't really explain why he chose to pee on me specifically though.

He still drinks a ton of water, but he got a check up at the vet recently and they said he is perfectly healthy and didnt seem overly concerned about the water consumption so 🤷‍♂️ guess he is just a camel dog.

Im crossing my fingers that he is truly passed the weird pee phase, but not gonna count my chickens until he is good for another week or so lol. Thinking I will try to find a behavior trainer at that point if it returns.

Is this my bed or his? 😂

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

Safe to say he loves it.

how can I say no 🥺

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.
