Councilestatekid 1,863 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Am I right thinking there's 3 sizes to this breed like the small medium and larger ones guessing its off the size of the poodle used as the ones seen advertised are all toy poodles so guessing these will be the smaller ones.where I'm after one the more spaniel sized so the minuture or one that's crossed with the standard would be better but can't seem to find any so just wondering if these are just crossed with the toy for the size Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,565 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 You get different sized labradoodles as you can get them crossed with standard poodles and then miniatures etc most cockerpoos I’ve seen have been same sort of height . As it’s mainly miniature poodles used ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downsouth 7,229 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Theres a park right outside my littleuns school and if ever I pick her up from school and take her over there theres usually a dozen or so cockerpoos all charging about over there.They all seen very nice natured,Mixing well together and playing amonst all the kids.My next door neighbour has one also and thats a nice enough little thing.Im guessing most are bred fom miniature poodles as the standards are quite big dogs and the toys are really tiny whereas the miniature is still quite small but the nearest to a cocker.Tbh all the ones Ive seen look pretty much the same in type and size. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would your average pet owner want a collie greyhound?lets face it The cockerpoos are half cocker so its probably down to the owners being lazy c**ts like a lot of pet owners are and not exercising them enough in which case anything with collie in it probably aint gunna be none too stable either 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Councilestatekid 1,863 Posted June 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've always had collie greys and terriers apart from my fox red lab which I've got to admit is the best dog I've had temp wise easiest dog I've had to train but is a hairy beast molts all year round hoover up 3 times a day brushes past you your covered in hair never known a dog like him didn't know labs were like that. The idea behind a cockerpoo is they don't molt mrs nephew has cerbal posey so we want a dog that will be good to be round him but also can't still put the miles in with us when we are out trekking up lakes or wherever but don't want the small ones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Out of interest why haven’t you considered a whippet ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
