Hi guys,

I am very new to Cockapoos since I met my girlfriend who has a 2 year old Cockapoo named Dolce. He is a very sweet, borderline spoiled dog and we had started noticing a strange behavior (now please note that I know few about this breed)

A little background: He is crate trained and in previous weeks up until about a month ago he would get very anxious and excited to see us when we let him out of his crate in the morning, full of energy and ready to play.

What we have noticed is that nowadays he gets very tired and sleepy, and even in the mornings when usually he would be ready to "roll" he keeps his head down and is not very enthusiastic about moving... almost as if he just wants to sleep a lot and be lazy...

His eating habits haven't changed and his bathroom breaks are normal, he is very playful and excited when he is not spending his time resting/sleeping or just being very non-energetic...

So I just wanted to get some feedback from anyone who has seen a similar pattern, and whether this is something that we should be concern about? My girlfriend and I were just curious to hear what more experienced cockapoos might have to say about this...

Thank You!

If otherwise he is happy and healthy, eating drinking and playing when out and about it just sounds to me like he has 'matured' my dog hit 2 years old and suddenly grew up

I guess he is just a big boy now and real starting to need his sleep.

Thanks for the response that makes me feel better about wondering what has happened.

Hi, my cockapoo had her second birthday last month and is much less energetic nowdays compared to activity over the last two years. She will stretch, get out of her crate, give us a slow and lazy welcome in the morning and then back to bed for a couple of hours. She is still energetic when we go out for walks but around the house just tends to cruise during the day. She has been particularly lazy since the hot weather arrived.

My two are very lively all day but so dozy in the morning. I think they are just not morning poos! They wake up to be let out then go straight back to sleep again.
