Oh think we saw the same ad.... I think around £700-£850 for a well brought up puppy is pricey but acceptable .... £1000 no way .. money making business.I saw a litter advertised recently £1000 for boys and £1200 for girls! Most peoples primary aim when breeding puppies is to make as much money as possible![]()
I think those who breed and work working dogs (and cockapoos from working cockers) are just a bit more grounded as they move within the working community where I imagine people are less prone to being exploited and paying over the odds. Also I think those looking for a family pet look more for a show cross than a working cross as a lot of anecdotal evidence suggests that a working cross is more demanding and needs more time and exercise so there may be a little less demand for them as a family pet.Yes cockapoos are brill......
£750 plus injections seems a fair price ... I know its alot but as we both agree a cockapoo is worth it.
I have seen some ads for cockapoos as low as £650.. but, big but these are from working spaniels and why are they cheaper!!!!! IMO.....
On the other side, I have recently seen an advert for £1000 per pup ... wow wee!!!!

Not fair different prices for *** or colours of puppies!!!!!
I have been advised by several sources that cockapoos from working spaniel are not ideal for family pets, and are a little hyper ... so I would steer clear personally ...Also I think those looking for a family pet look more for a show cross than a working cross as a lot of anecdotal evidence suggests that a working cross is more demanding and needs more time and exercise so there may be a little less demand for them as a family pet.

Delta is from a show american and is the most exitable off all my girls, Gypsys mum was working type cocker although not a trained gundog. and gypsy was the easiest to train.Mandy's Flo is excellently trained ... trained like a working dog .. so I guess it does work for some.... I am just a little worried I would have a very energetic puppy when I want a pet for the family.... with kids!!!
Flo has FTCH in her cocker line but her mum wasn't bred to work as she was not docked. I would probably avoid a working cocker parent who is docked as they would have been from a litter bred primarily to work (otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to dock the litter). I visited one breeder where the mum was a working, docked cocker who had been run on by the breeder they acquired her from so her puppies would probably have a higher than average chance of having a strong working temperament and the energy that goes along with it. But some people would want a working x poodle if intending to use the cockapoo as a gundog or for agility for example.I wanted show cockapoo s for that reason but there are working cockapoos on here and there does nt appear to be a great difference from what people post. Mandy is nt Flo a working cockapoo and I feel like Dylan is as well unless my memory is failing me again lol. So if I had my time again ( note I have nt said next time) I wouldnt limit my choice i would be open to both working and show x
She's not trained like a working dog at all it is just basic training that's covered at intermediate class with a whole range of other dogs. I go along as it is fun for her, she gets to meet a whole range of dogs as the class is preceded by 30 minutes social and I find it is enabling us to bond and understand each other better. She isn't overly energetic and, as long as she gets 1 hour a day of good off lead or ball retrieving exercise, she is very quiet and settled around the house. I have 3 kids to look after as well and she is my first dog so I'm no expert! But I have taken her training to 1 or even 2 sessions per week constantly since she was 10 weeks old.Mandy's Flo is excellently trained ... trained like a working dog .. so I guess it does work for some....
