Hi Stephen,

I see on your reply that you are a founder member of the cockapoo club. Is that the organisation that also has older rescue cockapoos for homing?
Hi Woo,

Yes we are certainly an organisation that offers help, support and assistance to any that ask. We are building a database of people both looking to offer Foster Homes as well as Forever Homes for any Cockapoo.

Thankfully there are not many that get offered - more often than not someone's family or friends soon come forward to help.

As a Club we have been offered Cockapoos for re-homing from just 14 weeks old (Thankfully we were able to assist with this particular puppy being able to finding a new home within 24 hour with members of the original owner's own family) - through to older dogs.

Obviously we treat everything with the utmost respect and confidentially - and look to place a dog with minimal distress to both dog and owner.

If anyone were looking into offering a home (short-term / long-term fostering - or a Forever Home for a deserving case) then we would welcome details via the Club.

Hi Woo

Biscuit is not from there but her stud dog Harry is Biscuit's father. When we bought Biscuit, our breeder advertised that the stud was PRA tested but when I asked my breeder for a copy I was told that she had made a mistake and that it was just the annual BVA test. However, Harry has since been tested and thankfully had a clear PRA result, which she has since sent me a copy of. However, I have yet to be sent his pedigree, despite emailing a few times, as the scanned copy was too small to read. However, on the upside, Harry is advertised as a stud having an outstanding temperament, loving nothing more than cuddles, etc and I can only say that Biscuit has been the easiest puppy I could have imagined. The cockapoos on her website look so much like Biscuit, so I would imagine are from the same father.

Hi Jane,

And thanks for that information. I am due to go and visit her in a few weeks re getting a dog from her around June time. I can't see Biscuit (love the name) very well in the picture but Harry is the stud for the litters that she has due soon.

Regards,
Woo

Hi Woo

Biscuit isn't actually on her webiste, but he looks a lot like the one on the left of the two paler ones on her homepage. I get the impression that dogs are her life and she puts a lot of time and care into the puppies once they are born. I have never actually met her as it was my own breeder who used her stud dog so I wouldn't be able to comment on her as an actual breeder. I was just a bit surprised that Harry hadn't been PRA tested, as she has been a breeder for about 6 years and Harry has already sired many litters.

Would be very interested to hear how you get on as Harry looks like a lovely poodle.

Hi Jane,

I'll let you know how I get on. Her cocker spaniels (and Harrys's) pups are due today!
I can't visit for some weeks after they are born but will let you know when I do.

Regards,

Woo

Hi Woo,

I'd be very interested in your visit - and any other information you manage to gather. I'm on the list to get one of Cocoa's puppies, which are due at the end of April. I'm just a bit worried because Rayner initially said that they were due in March.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Woo, we're hoping to get a puppy from Rayner too! We went over to meet her and her dogs the other week - they are all gorgeous and Harry is a real character - he leapt straight into my lap for a cuddle when we met him! She has three litters due over the next few weeks and all of the mums have lovely temperaments. She definitely seems to genuinely love her dogs and they seem very happy in her home.

Hopefully we'll both be able to post some exciting news in the next few weeks.

Hi Nicky,
It's great to hear about your visit and that the dogs are all happy & healthy. Since I'll be getting a pup (hopefully) from one of the later litters I shall read any of your future posts with growing excitement ! Jay

Wow, it's great to see that a few people know of Rayner and have even met her and the dogs.

Jay, I knew about Cocoa's pups aswell. Bella has just had pups last week, sparkle (who I am looking at) is due anytime now, should have been yesterday but keeping us waiting!

Nicky, which mother are you hoping for a pup from?

Rayner also offers a doggy day care and boarding service, but the dogs are not kept in kennels they stay in her house, which is great to know. I have read nothing but good stuff about her as a breeder and as a day carer and border.

Lets hope we all get a wonderful little bundle of fluff soon :D
