Hi Helen, Hope looks gorgeous! Have you got plans for training her to raise the alarm if your son gets ill? I remember someone on here doing the same thing a while back and, out of interest I googled it and found lots of interesting information. I think some dogs are trained to bark when recognise the smell, by swabbing the child's sweat with a cotton bud during an attack and using the bud in training! Very clever and not too difficult, you'd think (well, I'm not sure how easy the swabbing part would be!)

Thank you :)

To be honest my initial thinking is get the basic training in place, I can then guage how responsive she is to the training... If we then feel she has the right personality and is receptive enough we can start with the hypo training. I have read a bit about it, however dont want to put myself or Hope under too much pressure .. The theory behind it does sound fairly basic, but all depends on the dog of course!! Just have to keep our fingers and paws crossed that she picks her basic training up quickly! :)

Sounds like a good plan! All the cockapoos I've heard of have been very receptive to training, so fingers crossed. I'd love to hear more about it if you do end up doing the training.

Yep that's me!

I didn't even know about the reds until I joined this forum. It's so dangerously addictive and you end up wanting one in every colour!

Hope looks a lovely colour and I'm looking forward to your pics once she's home!

I am terrible!! I am even thinking which colour would look great running next to Hope in a field!! Although I WILL be strong and not be tempted until she is at leadt a year old :eek:

I must appologise actually to all the broody members, as I am probably not helping!! :p

Thank you x

I still havent found any from Hopes actual litter, but fingers crossed I may find some!! Have you started a separate thread off with the title of the litter?? You never know some may be lurking ;) x

Hi Helen
Hope is absolutely gorgeous. You are so lucky to have held her when she was small. Hope all goes well next week.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you. It feels like so long ago since I went to hold her and choose her!! I pick her up in TWO days now and can't wait to cuddle her again :D:D:D:D oooo getting far too excited again, probably won't be able to get to sleep Wed night for the excitement!! I am seriously worst than a kid just before Christmas!! :D

Two sleeps! How exciting! :jumping: I expect you can think of nothing else at the moment!

Let us know when you have her home, we will all be waiting for the photos (when you get a minute ;) ).

I was supposed to be going to bed early (building energy ready for the puppy madness!!)... However that ain't happening, I just keep looking at her picture wondering how much she will have changed over the last two weeks since the last photo from the breeder :photo:

I am a begger with the camera.. The poor dog will be blinded by my camera flash within the first hour from me photographing her constantly, everyone has been so lovely so how could I possibly hide her away :behindsofa: xx

I completely love her!! So pleased for you. I 'Hope' she helps with your son. They really are so clever!

Thank you :) looking into the training tho, unfortunately more of a case of how clever we are at the training rather than her, so anything could happen :rolleyes:

I may regret making my plans to hypo train Hope public knowledge before actually succeeding :eek:

Hi! We have Teddy who is Hope's half brother - they have the same dad ... Zac... great personality! We played with three boys from your Hope's litter of 8 on Saturday so would have seen Hope at 6 1/2 weeks in the puppy play pen downstairs at Sylvia's house.

We have 3 kids - the girls have been so motherly with the dog. Behaviour in the house has been so much better!

I am used to not much sleep as well with the kids so I think the whimpering / crying isn't too bad. Teddy is holding his wee/poo all night and waits until we go downstairs at 7am!! I wasn't expecting that ... my daughter's bed was soaked through this am (and I lifted her at 11pm) ... she didn't bother to tell me until after I walked in her wet nighties this am. So Teddy's accidents are no big deal ... wish the kids squatted before doing a wee when we were potty training - it would have been a lot easier. Trying to do the 20 min outside and say "go quick" but it is so cold and Teddy is so distracted he's only done 2 wee's outside, but I keep saying - he's only 8 weeks and 2 days ... he's doing super!

Sylml's is amazing!
