Hello everyone,
My names Julie and I’m new to the forum! My husband, Darron, & I have been talking about a dog for a while but had been unable to settle on a breed. We were thinking about Golden Retrievers but the shedding concerned me, my own hair falls out at a ridiculous rate, and there’s also three cats in the house.
About 3 or 4 months ago my hubbie met a cockapoo owner by chance, got chatting, and returned home telling me I had to look into the breed. I think at this point his enthusiasm was solely based on the eager wagging tail of a young pup, and the promised land of cute low shedding dogs! I found the Google research a little frustrating, as it only supplied pretty basic information... and then I found this fabulous forum! It’s so addictive, I have been following the site daily ever since (which I know makes me sound like a scary stalker, but I promise I’m harmless!
).
Now we’re at a point where we’re happy with our decision, I’ve read a few training books, puppy books, researched training classes, dog groomers, dog friendly holidays etc etc, so I thought it was about time I actually joined the forum to thank you all for the information I’ve gathered which has helped us decide that a Cockapoo is the breed for us!
We visited JD earlier this week and are now officially on their waiting list for a Working Cocker x Miniature Poodle in Spring/Summer 2012. Cannot begin to tell you how excited I am, but I’m guessing you’ve all been there already!!
Look forward to speaking to you all over the long long wait until next spring/summer!
