Cockapoos, the Cocker Spaniel and Poodle mix, live about 15 years on the average. They are among the first Designer Pups to have been purposely bred, dating back to the 1950's. Their size range can vary, depending on the size of the parent Poodle and Cocker Spaniel. These pups are friendly, endearing, playful, and sweet-natured. They are happy, social and are very good with children and the elderly. They have a low to medium energy level, being easy-going, but playful. They will fetch, run, walk and play, but they also love lots of lap and snuggle time. Cockapoos are extremely intelligent and easy to train. They are low to no shedding, and smaller Cockapoos are well suitable for more confined dwellings such as apartments. The Cockapoo should be brushed regularly to be kept free from matting and should be groomed every six weeks or so. ABOUT US: We got our first poodle in 1999 when my children wanted a dog and was looking for one that didn't affect their allergies. Previously, we have only had strays and rescues but with the need for a non shedding dog, I went on the search for a Poodle. We had so much fun with the pup that we considered hiring a stud and having a litter of our own; only to find out that for the price, we could buy another little boy. So we did, and our little venture built from there. I specialized in chocolate toy Poodles and had a very good champion line going back to San Gai and Callimont Kennels. For many years, I had only three females and a little boy. These dogs were my pets as well as my passion. Although my pups primarily go to people for pets, I did sell a couple every year to breeders, but only sell to in-home breeders. Learning about the designer pup and was intrigued with these beautiful dogs. The pups were a hit! My friend and I began to realize the advantages of "designer pups" as we were introduced to an exciting variety of dogs that did not shed and puppy mixes that my children could tolerate. Thus, our passion for these new “Puppy-poos” was born. I do all the advertising for the babies. Our homes are hopping and busy, and our children have joined in and earn some college money at the same time. We feel so privileged to raise a variety of adorable critters all year round. I feel so fortunate because I get to do what I enjoy most. We choose our breeding dogs for health and personality. They are our pets. Our goal is not champion or show quality. Our desire is to produce a sweet tempered, loving personality to be companion dogs. Several of our pups over the years, however, have been trained and used as service and therapy dogs. We allow our girls to skip their first heat and every third heat thereafter. The pups are born in our home and wean in their – and mom’s - own timing. The pups need to be 8 weeks old to leave. If they are of a very small breed or are nursing longer than usual, we may choose to keep them longer. I am a member of Breeder's Club, my "kennel" (it’s more of a nursery in my home, rather than an outside kennel) is licensed by the county and certified by ODA. I have regular inspections from the PSCA, and a licensed DVM. I have an A rating on the BBB and you can find reviews for me on Puppy Find and see Sherry’s Posh Pets on Face Book. At this time, there is no credible registry for the designer pups but our adult dogs are AKC or CKC registered. We raise our pups for temperament and personality; working on trust and responsiveness from an early age. All pups come current with their first vaccines and de-wormings for their age. They come with a care pack (food, vitamins, and treats) and instructions, and a one year written health guarantee. We do not ship our pups in cargo but I can meet you at the airport if you want to fly in to pick up your baby. In some circumstances, after you have met your baby, I can arrange delivery or someone to meet you part way. All of our babies are well loved, pre-spoiled, and well socialized to people and other animals. Our babies deserve good homes, so convince me that you will love your new little one. So, who says you can’t buy love?
