| Questions Page 2 | ||||||||||||||||||
| What size are your cockapoos? I have had adult cockapoos from 6 1/2 lbs to 26 lbs. This depends mostly on parent size. The average is about 14-18 lbs. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Can you tell at birth if a puppy will favor the cocker or poodle more? Most of the time if a puppy is going to favor the poodle more they will be born with a little wave to the coat. It is definately easier as they get older but this is somewhat of a guideline. Annie and Minnie are two females that tend to have puppies that stronger favor the cocker. In most litters you will get some puppies that lean each way. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Will puppy color change any? With the buff and blonde colors they tend to lighten slightly as they grow. Sable and cafe-au-lait puppies usually lighten a lot. As far as black they do not change other than the fact that I have had black puppies born to black and tan moms that were born without tan but it came as they grew. Chocolates usually stay about the same.The markings on phantoms ( black/tan or chocolate/tans) often become more distinct as they grow. Noses and pads are light at birth on the lighter colored puppies and they get pigment within the first few weeks. | ||||||||||||||||||
| How often do I need to get my cockapoo groomed? This depends strongly on what you want him/her to look like and how often you want to brush him/her. If you don't mind spending some time brushing and you like a longer bushier look 2-3 times a year my be enough. If you like a shorter less demanding coat you may want to get your cockapoo groomed every 6-8 weeks. I have noticed over the past few years that cockapoo coats grow faster than schnoodles. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Do cockapoos get along well with children and other pets? Yes | ||||||||||||||||||
| Can I have references? Sure I have quite a list of references. Just ask and I will be glad to send it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Do I give a guarantee? Yes, Puppies are guaranteed to be healthy upon pickup. If your vet would find a health problem I will return your money. There is also a one year congenital disease guarantee.Details are printed on the sales receipt. If you would like to see a copy I can email it to you. | ||||||||||||||||||
| When will my puppy need to see the vet? My puppies have been vet checked before leaving here. It is recommended but not required that you see your vet once your puppy is picked up. Puppies will have first shots before leaving. Shot dates are noted on each puppies diary. Contact your vet with the date of the first set of shots. Some vets prefer giving the second set 2 weeks after the first. Some prefer 3 or 4 weeks. I give at 3 week intervals. A third set will also be needed before your puppy will be set for the first year. | ||||||||||||||||||
| How often should I feed my puppy? While puppies are here they will have food in front of them at all times. This is for several reasons. First while with a litter smaller puppies may not get enough food if fed just a couple times a day. Secondly, if puppies are fed just a couple times a day they may gulp food too fast and end up making themselves sick. The bad side to this is the puppies will not get into a routine of meals and potty time. What I would recomend is continue to feed puppy free choice for a few days. Measure how much your puppy is eating daily. Then divide this food into three feedings a day. Keep in mind puppy will need to go out to potty after his or her meals. | ||||||||||||||||||
