What's your reason for getting a cockapoo?

[Tucker325]

Most people get cockapoos because of allergies and their tendency to barely shed. What was your reason why you got one?

We got Tucker because my whole family is allergic to dogs and we really wanted one. We thought that we would never be able to get a dog until my neighbor, who has asthma, got one. So here we are now with Tucker.

Well my mom always said if we were to ever get a dog, it would be a cockapoo. She had one as a kid. And since we're all allergic to dogs, it's a perfect match.

As for Benny, we never intended on getting him. We were at the pet store buying bird seed for the birds. We decided to look at the puppies, just browsing. There was a black cockapoo girl we saw and we played with her. When we got home, we decided we had to get her. So we went back to the store to get her, only to discover she was sold! On the other end of the wall of puppies was Benny pawing at the glass. We took him out and played with him, but it didn't matter. We knew we had to have him...

So I guess you could say we got Benny almost by accident. Had we not gone to the pet store to get bird seed, we never would have ever seen him. I can't even imagine that... I will say though that if we had intentions on buying a dog and were actively looking, we definitely would have gone with a breeder rather than a pet store. This was just happenstance.
