Hi there, I'm new to the forum having found it whilst searching for cockapoo puppies. I am really keen on getting a cockapoo (probably in the spring) but I am concerned I may suffer an allergic reaction as I do suffer a reaction with some other animals.

I understand that I should spend time with any prospective puppy as they can all be different, but was wondering if there is anyone that lives reasonably local to SW Hertfordshire who has a cockapoo and would be prepared to let me spend 20 mins or so with their dog to see how I get on.

If a cockapoo is not for me, then I would rather know now before I fall in love with a particular puppy and have to make a decision then.

Fingers crossed someone can help.

I live very near St Albans and have a straighter coated cockapoo that maybe more likely to cause a reaction and would be happy for you to meet Lolly and spend time with her to see. My sister in law also has a cockapoo who is curlier - she is allergic to dogs but hasn't had a reaction to her dog or mine. There are loads of us near to St Albans - maybe we could arrange a mini meet up so you can meet lots of poo's!!!

good idea to spend some time with a poo first - am sure you will be fine! i am allergic to most dogs cats horses etc never thought we could have a dog. Then having spent a bit of time with a friends poo we took the plunge and got charlie 2/3 months ago and i have been absolutly fine - not the slightest wheeze or sniffle best thing we ever did!! Poos are lovely

Hi Kirsten
I'm the said sister-in-law. Happy to let you meet Millie and a good old cuddle etc. Can't make the w/e that Janet suggested, but sure we can arrange something.

I'm allergic to dogs, cats, horses and haven't had one reaction to Millie and her fur has now changed from puppy to adult - all is still good.
