Whilst looking I came across an advert for F1 Cockapoos for £1200 :eek The advertiser describes Show Cockers as 'nasty', and suggests not to buy a Cockapoo if the Poodle is not the Dad as the puppies wont be non moulting. They also describe them as the No.1 choice assistant dogs ! No mention of health checks! Terrible... For the bargain price of £1200 hno: :tapedshut:

Terrible price.
But I guess everything has a value and if someone is prepared to pay £1200 then that's what its worth.
Personally I think that is rather steep and I doubt I would have gone higher than the £850 I paid - that was a push really.

That is what I was thinking. The trouble is though depending on where they bought it from in the first place, they might not be able to? Or maybe they will lose their money and would rather try and sell her
Such a shame for the poor pup!
I wouldn't pay it, it is too much. I would pay up to £900 max and I would want both parents health tested for that. Don't get me wrong, I adore Cockapoos and I would obviously have another
but I don't think they warrant £1200! If that became the norm I would rather not support the breeders. No more work goes onto breeding a Cockapoo than any other type of dog so although they are completely adorable it is unjustifiable IMHO and breeders will only be charging this amount because they feel the puppy buying public will pay it!Apologies for being so moany, don't want to offend anyone! Most unlike me for a friday lunch time
, not even had any wine! That will be for later! P.s No JoJo, too early for no.2 at the moment!
Totally agree it is very pricey ...as we are having a girly Friday moan .. I think I will too
As you all know I have contacted many breeder when searching for all my cockapoos and yes I have made a few mistakes along the way, I am only human after all... but it amazes me how one breeder can charge eg £850 for a puppy with no injections, no microchip, no health testing and then another breeder can .... don’t get me wrong paying £1200 wouldn’t be ideal at all ... and I agree totally with what Sarah is saying.
I personally I don’t think the price is important .. hence why I would pay whatever for a puppy .. I think the one to one care, love and health is what I am willing to pay for ....
I was going to start waffling them .. but you know what I mean .... I know what is important to me when I am on a puppy search, and if the breeder doesn't tick that box I just don’t consider them at all, the last thing I look at is the price ...

I do completely agree the price is not the main consideration but I still think there should be a limit. I think health testing etc for the standard price (£850 to £950) should be what is expected, it is a lot of money for some people and as that is at the top end of puppy prices I would expect all of my boxes to be ticked! I am very demanding...can you tell!Totally agree it is very pricey ...as we are having a girly Friday moan .. I think I will too

I have to pop out to buy my Granny a birthday present but I will answer quickly with spelling mistakes!
I think a fair price is between £800 and £950 but definitely not over £1000!
For that I would like to see home breeder, both parents health tested, puppies used to noise, children etc, microchipped, wormed, etc and preferable KC registered so that I knew both parents were pedigree Cocker/Spaniels. The last bit wouldn't be essential re pedigrees but I would prefer this, I would also like traceability of parents, as I think this is important regarding hereditary diseases etc. Lots of etcs! I would consider a larger breeder if it ticked all of the above. I think even if you are breeding for the pet market both parents should be health tested, you just never know if accidental matings might occur or Jo Bloggs who wants a cute pet suddenly decides to jump on the 'breeding bandwagon' without thinking about the implications.
Anyway off prezzie shopping before the school run! Does my breeder exist JoJo? Maybe I could have one of your puppies when you have some?

Great wish list ... & not far off my own requirements
Agree about the pricing too .. I wouldn't ummm about paying 800-950 but the £1200 does come with an ummmmm ... like I say its not the price its the breeder and the puppy for me.
Does this breeder exist, good question ... yes of course they do always stay positive when on your puppy search There are some fabulous breeders out there, it is just we all have our own opinion when it comes to puppy shopping ... xxx
Enjoy the pressie shopping xxx

Whilst looking I came across an advert for F1 Cockapoos for £1200
You see many a sad advert on there hence why I don't look.
The F1 cockapoos advertised for £1200 are shocking- only in it for the money and I hope to god that they don't find any people who would pay that for a non- tested dog that far exceeds it's pedigree parents.
It's breeders like this who give the good breeders a bad name!!
I think as more and more become familiar with health tests etc... people will demand more from breeders and will be wanting both parents health tested and not just PRA for the poodle stud.
If you are paying £800-950 for a cockapoo then you should expect that all the relevant heath tests have been done on both dogs.
If there are Pedigree breeders out there doing all the tests, selecting the best studs and some having proven dogs in the show ring and can trace their dog lines and are selling puppies for around £ 550-650 ( I know some from another forum) then I can see why cockapoo owners get a lot of stick when we pay £200-300 more for dogs where only one has been tested etc......
( cuteness aside of course
)I actually think cockapoos have become very expensive and would like to see them at around £500-700 mark or what cockers and poodles are going for add together and divide for an average
I'm not a tight wad
and love cockapoos but just being realistic 
I saw that ad as well and given the shocking mis-information in the ad wouldn't touch them with a very long barge pole. Buyer beware.Whilst looking I came across an advert for F1 Cockapoos for £1200
Perhaps even the more expensive of the 2 breeds would be a "fair" price?
Having been through the "process" once, and found MY ideal breeder, they can hold me to ransom next time
So, what I'd like is a cross between Izzy and her siblings, Honey's pups, George, Rupert, Biscuit, Flo, Oakley...... or maybe a chocolate sable......ooh, can you get apricot sable? :laugh:
Maybe for one of Mandys Merles
Told you I was rushing! Whilst wandering round laura Ashley I remembered I would also check parent dogs temperaments and they would have to meet my breeding requirements for the bitches etc etc more etcs! Not going to drone on! Hahahah!Great wish list ... & not far off my own requirements
