What To Expect From An Approved Breeder
|
|
New Owner Vetting
To ask pertinent questions or in general conversation to ascertain if a prospective owner will be able to offer a good home to a Cockapoo including, for example, work commitments.
Facilities
To be clean;
To follow basic hygiene regulations – guests asked to remove/cover/disinfect their shoes when they enter the house/kennel and use hand gel to prevent contamination;
To witness that the breeder’s facilities accommodate their dogs’ needs – space to explore, exercise and safely roam, toys to play with, beds to rest in and so forth.
The Puppies’ Parents
To be viewable – if only Mum can be viewed to be informed about the stud via pictures and paperwork;
To be happy and confident around their owners and visitors;
To exhibit the kind of temperament you’d be content with for your own dog;
To be whelping within their usual environment or an environment that the bitch is completely comfortable in, i.e. maybe in outdoor kennels if this is where they normally reside or indoors if this is where they normally live;
To be of the right age for whelping puppies – no bitch should be mated before her second season and normally never before the age of 14 months and no older than 6 years;
To be clean with groomed coats and of a healthy weight with no visible signs of health problems.

The Puppies
To be comfortable being handled; To be bouncy, playful and full of life; To be calm around unexpected noises; To be well socialised having spent time around people, including children, with everyday household experiences, in the car, at the vet, and so forth; the reason is that a puppy that has been well socialised from the 4/5 weeks to 5/6 month stage will be much better equipped to cope with the varied situations it will be faced during it's life living as a pet within our complex human society. A lack of socialisation at these early ages has been shown to contribute to undesirable dog behavioural issues later in life. To be clean with clear eyes, clean bottoms and of a good weight; To be at least eight weeks of age when they leave for their new homes as puppies are not emotionally developed enough to be independent before that age and early separation from it's litter mates can contribute to behavioural problems later on. |
