Hi,

I'm looking at getting a Cockapoo bit really want a dog that I can take running with me. Does anyone else here go running regularly with their Cockapoo ??

I realise that as a puppy running won't be possible and that dogs, like people need to start with shorter distances.....

Thanks

Lisa

you should have no problem having a cockapoo as a running partner. they are ver resilient dogs with good staminar.

but yeah you will need to wate a couple of months befor you can do propper long runs.

Yes I have run with my poo and also bike rides. You can buy leads for each purpose to make it easier.

Hi Lisa
My other half wanted a dog he could run with- it was one of the reasons we chose a cockapoo. We waited until Benji was about 8 months and his bones were well formed before he started shorter runs. He's just turned 1 now and has built up to a faster 5K. He loves it and apparently makes a fantastic running partner. Happy dog, happy hubby!

Some very fit owners out there .. putting me to shame

Yes cockapoo can go on runs with you, just take it easy in the beginning and build it up slowly ... your dog will love it ... not that I do it with my cockapoos umm its not a good look for me ..

Thank you all I've just been chatting to our neighbours who also have a cockapoo and they sound the ideal breed...

The only other thing we need to do is to make sure our daughter isn't allergic to them; we've arranged for her to meet a cockapoo later this week and she can tell within a few minutes if it is going to be a problem !

We are thinking of buying some second hand bikes to take Vincent out for long runs too I have run with him a few times but he just got too excited xD I'm training for a 5K so I am going to have to start taking him out too!

I run with Lola (and Izzi and maggie too sometimes- i must look crazy running with 3 dogs!!) I waited until she was 9 months old before i started running her but she is a year now and can do 5k easily.

Tilly is now 1 and I have been taking her for a couple of runs a week for a while now. She loves it she is good on both running on a lead or without in the woods.

I've tried running with Millie, but I run out of steam way to quickly. She skips alongside me as if to say... Is that it !!!

As for allergies, I'm allergic to cats and dogs. And cockapoo is great, no allergies

Hello. I am hoping to get my first Cockapoo soon and am going to see a litter tomorrow. It is important to me that I have a dog that will run with me - up to maybe 3 miles-ish. So sorry to come late to this thread, but my question is, if a dog has a Show Cocker mother and a Toy Poodle father, will it be big enough to manage the running? I want to make sure we are all happy (me, my new puppy, and my family) so this is obviously a big decision.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Great to see Rutini back !!

 

[lozzaf]

Sorry Jayne, what does that mean? I'm new to the forum so no idea who (what?) Rutini is.

I have two cockapoos ...Betty who is from a show cocker mum and toy poodle dad and Ted who is from a working cocker mum and miniature poodle dad...both love to run but it is Betty who is the duracell dog andwho has the most stamina and will go on and on and on.....

 

[lady amanda]

Lady is an american cocker with a mini poodle dad...she would be good for about a mile...but not 3... I am sure some dogs would be able to do it.

Where do you get these special running leads from?

I have a 5k and 10k to run in 2013 and looking at running them with Bayley as Jack will be too young and Holly will trip me over busy stopping and looking at things!!!
Hoping Bayley will pull me along a bit faster so i can get a better time than last year and maybe come in the top 10 as i came 15th last year
Just don't know if Bayley will appreciate being dressed in a pink tutu for Cancer Research lol.

Just picturing you running with all three! Be a good one for 'You've been Framed' ! Utter chaos!

 

[Jen62]

Harley is only 16 weeks and loves to run!! Obviously we only run with him for a few minutes but he is so good and looks up and runs with you so excitedly!! Can't wait till he is older and we can get some miles in-he is working mum and miniature dad but still quite dinky so not sure how big he will get - but biggest character out of all the dogs in training tho!! Go for a cockapoo, they are the best!! Let us know if you do. X

How true is that Cat!! I have already been flying over the top of Holly one day and that was walking!!!! Its all good fun watch out for me on 'You've Been Framed' lol

My Betty is working x toy and she happily runs up to about 5 miles with me, and would do it a lot quicker than we! She just trots along beside me! She does have a tendency to shoot off like Usain Bolt at the start but settles down quickly.
