No problem!  We had an American Cockapoo from Slyms about 7 months ago (I think!) Cookie is now 9 months old and we wouldn’t be without her!  We chose a Cockapoo because my husband is generally allergic to dogs – he has been fine with Cookie because of her Poodle element!!

 

Cookie has been tremendous fun – our own experiences from having a cockapoo is that they are extremely sociable and want to be everyone’s friend!  She has a great nature – friendly, fun and happily puts up with some serious man handling from my two young daughters who mother

her all the time! Cookie trained up reasonably quickly –

expect the first few weeks to be a bit messy but she

really didn’t take too long to be house trained.  We

haven’t taken her to dog training classes, although that’s

on the agenda but behaviour generally is good.

 

From an appearance perspective, the American cockapoo

is adorable and while I am not expert, I consider Slyms to be

a good breeder as everyone has remarked on her quality of

fur, general health, features etc.  You can definitely see

the poodle in her – her hair is curly but her features are quite

teddy bear like because of the spaniel element.

The toy American cockapoo is smaller – Cookie is about 12 inches to her shoulder.  She’s a great size for us!  She has had two haircuts now but much of this is down to personal choice – I like her quite shaggy but you cant let them get too long cause otherwise they are prone to some tangles – I don’t groom that regularly – just enough to keep her knot free!

 

We hope to get another cockapoo in the future and would certainly return to Slyms.

 

Kind regards
