Group Walks and MeetingsTypically, Cockapoos are very friendly and social and love to meet and mingle with other dogs and people. Social dogs usually means social owners too!
|
There have been a number of successful gatherings of Cockapoo owners and their dogs at various locations around the country, some small scale and some quite large. At a recent Surrey meet there were thirty plus Cockapoos in one place, a sight to behold! These meetings and group walks are a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people who share a passion for these wonderful dogs and a chance to meet all the different varieties of Cockapoo. As a prospective buyer of a new puppy it’s a great way to see the range of Cockapoos, in the fur so to speak, and to view them at different ages so you can get a rough idea of what a puppy might grow into!
These informal gatherings are usually a casual walk (sometimes with a picnic, season permitting) in a place with plenty of space for the dogs to run around off lead. A fun day out for all the family!
