Hi there,

We are looking for a family dog and after a lot of research have set our hearts on a cockapoo.

Just wondered if anyone could recommend a breeder in the north/east of Scotland ... although we would be willing to travel further afield.

Thank you

Hi

Thanks for the info ... I found an old advert online for cockapoos that guildy den had posted (probably the litter your pup came from!)and I contacted them to see if they had another litter planned.

They do and the litter was due last week and we are getting one of the pups!!

We live in Dundee so I know exactly where they are ... great to know of someone who has already got a pup from them that gives me great peace of mind and confidence to buy from them.

Thank you so much for your help and Marley must be a great dog if you thinking about getting another!

Cant wait to go choose ours in a few weeks time.

Hi Mandy

Gordon doesn't test. He was confident his breeding dogs were free and hadn't has any problems to date. He did tell me about a litter years ago that had hip dysplasia and that was with both parents having the health tests.

I know this is a cardinal sin when buying a pup!!!

Hi Kendal,

Ah I understand. The pup is going to be a family pet and he will eventually be taking a little trip to the vet once he is old enough. So absolutely no plans to breed.

That said I am now a little worried I may have the test done myself for peace of mind.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts it really helps.

Hi sorry I have been away all weekend and just back today.

I am of the same opinion as Jon .. My son picked our pup and has been waiting patiently for four weeks until he comes home. I will get the test done myself and whatever the outcome we will deal with it.

I will be contacting Gordon to get clarity on what tests have and more importantly have not been done!

Im glad some good has come out of this post then.Lets hope he gets round to dna testing all his breeding dogs to prevent this happening again x
Hi

I have test results for both parent's of my pup stanley who was from an earlier litter from Guildy Den. Both parents are DNA tested clear.
