Hello one and all,
Bought a cockapoo puppy 1th December 2010, she is now six months old - answers to the name of Betty. She is incredibly loving with a nice nature. Very true to type. She is black and white (will try and add piccies). She was fairly easy to housetrain and hasn't chewed anything in the house other than her toys. She is a very nosey dog and never wants to be left out of anything, a real character.
I actually have't come across any other cockapoos. I found the breed when I was researching puppies on the internet, thought they looked ideal and tracked one down to buy. My only cockapoo experience is of Betty.
Betty loves her walks, however, one problem that I have is that she has started not to come back when I call her. She is impossible to catch as you can imagine and ends up following me all the way home not on the lead. She is absolutely wilful when I call her, looking straight at me and then scooting off (never very far away, but far enough away for me not to catch her)
Am listening to lots of suggestions from doggy friends etc but am unable to let her off the lead - such a shame as we live in the country and she just adores the excercise.
This website seems to be a mine of information and am looking forward to getting stuck in!
Jane
