Hi fellow cockapoo lovers.
My normal friends are getting a bit fed up with me talking about my new little pup Mia, so I've come here to find others that share my love of all things cockapoo. I look forward to sharing our experiences.
Here's how it all started...
I've wanted a dog of my own all of my live but waited until I could give one a great home and lots of time. All this can true in Feb this year (2011), so I immediately started the hunt for my little Mia. We loved her from the first moment we saw her. She chose us really, as she made a bee line for us and refused to let any of the other pups get a look in. We were hooked from day one. She came home at 8 weeks old and bonded with me immediately. She has slept downstairs in the utility room since day one. We had a few tears on the 3rd and 4th night but it's been fine since then. Toilet training is going well but there are still mistakes. She wees in doors when she's excited but that's to be expected. We started puppy obedience classes when she was 11 weeks old and she can now sit, lie down, roll over, she walks relatively nicely on the lead (work in progress). Her recalls are also very good. We let her off the lead on the very first walk and she's never gone far. She’s very good with other dogs but I do pick her up if they are boisterous , because she tends to get squashed/trodden on and squeals. Car journeys were funny at first, as she made a very strange winning noise resembling a human laugh. We are really enjoying having her. I’ll update you on the story so far when she’s a bit older.
