Introducing - "Charlie" X

From the outset The CCGB was created for the good of Cockapoo in this Country - ethical breeding with the Health and Welfare of all dogs at the forefront of our aims.

With this commitment comes the need to offer a Rehoming and Refuge facility to any Cockapoo - no matter what background.
In some instances we work directly with established Sanctuaries and Trusts - and as such will look to post direct links to any Cockapoo available.

As recently seen with Buster - sometimes we get a call - a genuine case with both people and dogs in need of our help.

The other night I was contacted about a 14 week old male Cockapoo looking for a new home as a result of a dramatic change in his owners' personal circumstances. I totally understood the plea for help - and not having sufficient time to contact the network of people willing to offer a hand - the following morning I set-off for Nottingham - and I myself offered Charlie that Foster home.

His owner's wish was not to pass him back to the breeder - and that handing him over to the CCGB was largely driven by the way we had only just dealt with Buster's situation - and again the choice to part with him was essential and his owner obviously found it very upsetting. We offer a totally free and confidential service and as such respect his owner's wish to remain anonymous - especially when they have also witnessed some unfair judgements made of people on forums.

Charlie is an adorable 14 week old F1 Cockapoo puppy from a Miniature Poodle father and a English Working Cocker mother. A stunningly silky soft fluffy Chocolate coat with a white bib and tux. He is full of life and has a great spirit and will make someone a superb pet - an intelligent eye and a kind heart.

He comes - Crate-trained / Fully vaccinated / aware of clicker training - and with a Comprehensive puppy pack / large bag of food / crate / lead / bedding / toys and chews.

I played with him on the decking today and he instantly picked up - fetch and retrieve with a tennis ball - bringing back and gladly handing back to me with a "dead" command - very impressive.

I will again look to contact a selection of people who have put themselves forward as offering Forever Homes to the CCGB - again he will not be offered to the first on the list nor the first to reply - as finding the right home outweighs the need to just find a home.

It would be hoped that his new owner would join the CCGB so that we are able to watch his ongoing development - which is also a wish of his current owner.

Again - the CCGB does not look to profit in anyway from this service - it is offered free of charge if the need is there.

Obviously - I will keep you all updated on his progress.
