New Cockapoo owner

hey welcome, we went 10 years without a dog before we got our girls.


it can be a shock to the system, just relax and go with it, be consistent.

and no question is a stupid question, quaronteed somone on the forum will have been through the same thing.


what are you getting, boy/girl american or english(working or show) cocker x toy or mini poodle
what generation. what colour, do you have a name in mind?

Welcome! What colour/*** pup have you gone for? xx

Hi There and WELCOME!!!
VERY EXCITING!!!
I hope all goes as you plan and your new little bundle will be great!
we all love our cockapoos so if you have pictures of your pup, please post

She is 3 weeks old and we have conditionally reserved her for now as still to early to tell her personality. She is apricot, and an F1, met both parents, mother is a reddish (I am not good with dog colours yet) cocker and dad an apricot toy I think, they have had 9 pups, 2 are already reserved the remaining 7 mixture of black ones and apricot, she was the only female apricot. We are going back in 2 weeks to see her again. We chose her for no particular reason, was not really bothered which colour or ***, she just felt like the right one.

awwww that is great! do you know what kind of cocker the mom is? American or English?
I am sure if she felt right then, she will still feel right!
you do just kind of have a connection with them.

Congratulations on your new puppy! Just be prepared for some hard work, a bit of mess and try not to stress too much and you will slip back into dog ownership and wonder why you waited 10years
Good luck!

Hi & welcome!

How exciting! She sounds gorgeous already
Do you have any names in mind for her yet?
& I take it you can collect her in 5 weeks time?
Keep us updated!

Hello there. April is a lovely time to be getting a puppy, nicer weather hopefully for house training!

There may be some tips here which will be helpful when bringing your puppy home.

I have a soft spot for the apricot puppies.
