tenfoot- she’s lovely 👍
Thanks. We’re lucky to have her. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours.
Cockapoo owner here, had her about 4 months now, got her at 11 weeks from a breeder. Thankfully I've known the breeder for a long time so could vouch for the dogs and got to see the parents and where they were brought up. Paid £1500 for her. Breeder has a good reputation across the UK so I know she's a good dog.
She's a great dog, keen to learn (with treats!) and pretty well behaved. Already have her off lead on re-call, walks nice on her lead and does all the usual sit, wait, high-5 and lie down!
Looking forward to taking her on a longer walks once she's older and maybe have her following the bike on rides!
Come from. springer spaniel a few years back, so similar temperament but seems less frantic! We're enjoying having her in the family.

Well 1st night and first full day went well, he’s pretty chilled apart from when he’s awake and running about like mad ! He’s taken well to his crate in the kitchen having wandered in a few times during the day for a rest.
We are using toilet training pads, at the other end of the kitchen which he has used just a couple of times, but so far all his poos have been on the rug in living room 🙄. We are using the odour remover sprays on it and may end up sacrificing the rug after Christmas, but don’t want to lift it as it stops him skating around the wood floors !

Imo toilet training pads are a very bad idea. They need to go to the toilet outside, so having a pad inside is counterintuitive.
We've got an almost 3 year old cockapoo....my best pal, and basically the perfect dog. Uber chilled, but a proper character. He's not a huge fan of rain, so opted out of his walk today 😂 Will do a big day in the mountains though too.
Yep agreed on puppy pads - never used them with mine, first few months we were getting up at 3am to let her out for a pee and toilet , after 5 months she will go until about 0630 and has only had one accident in the house. Now she lets us know when she wants to go out for the toilet, she had a look when she’s trotting around. Takes a few months and unsettled nights but worth it I think.
We're fairly lucky in all honesty....ours will go 13 hours without going to the toilet....probably more I'd guess!
Our cookerpoo doesn't like rain, or getting wet and avoids puddles / ponds unless he's chased a bird over a duckweed covered pond - needed a bath after that.
Needs taking for a haircut every 8-12 weeks, comes back looking like a different dog.
He's friendly as anything and very quiet, occasionally barks at our cats, but most of the time is silent.
The one thing we have to watch for is they're susceptible to ear problems caused by their hair / build up of wax which causes him to scratch his ears sometime. Ear drops usually keep on top of it.
Good info, thanks. Have ditched the pads and he’s been outside for most of his business today, just one accident wee inside. Oh, and he realised if he pushes a cushion to the edge of the couch he can use it as launch pad to get onto said couch !
