Out of interest why haven’t you considered a whippet ?? I thought of many things my smooth coated collie greys never really molted but I thought of a beddy terrier but Mrs likes the cockerpoo and to be fair liked the idea of it not shedding hair. She's just seen some cracking looking labradoodles and thought they'd be perfect until f.o.d.redneck just said his sheds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, it's not the shedding coat, but the skin, which ALL dogs shed on a daily basis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,094 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 We get a lot of people from Surrey coming to stay in the cottages, plummy types...most have a very expensive mongrel in tow, cocker poos being a particular favourite, carrying them over puddles seems to be a popular activity...just saying... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,915 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 The amount i see around me they must be breeding true to type now that's probably why a lot will be suffering from health problems i cant see many being bred by first crossing . The two near me one next door but one and one over the road are the most fekin yappy dogs i have ever come across though their owners are fekin idiot's. My mate got his wife one a bitch and he has got it working cover and hunting like a goodun and it's not one bit of bother i think a lot get these cockerpoos not realising they need exercise and stimulation. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
