Ah that's lovely to hearCongratulations! I’ve never been a puppy person (too jumpy and Yappy for me!) but my sister has got a puppy recently a little black Labrador who is, honestly, brilliant. Cried for a few nights but settled in well and doesn’t really have toilet accidents. When my sister is at work she has a baby monitor type thing where she can watch what the puppy is doing and speak to her which she says really Helps both her and puppy - if you’re WFH it’s probably not a big a deal for you but still possible!
You will likely get a bit of the puppy blues and that moment of ‘what have i done‘ but it will pass and I’m sure you’ll have a lifelong pal. Whenever I see my sister’s puppy she has so much love to give - it’s wonderful
We have a cockapoo...he’s such an amazing pup! Lots of hard work with grooming etc though xxI saw a cavachon last week but I suspected it was a puppy farm so walked away, I'm seeing a cockapoo this time
Oh wow!We have a cockapoo...he’s such an amazing pup! Lots of hard work with grooming etc though xx
Love cockapoos! There’s no way you won’t be coming home a new puppy in towI saw a cavachon last week but I suspected it was a puppy farm so walked away, I'm seeing a cockapoo this time
He’s 9 months so we are way past all that, he was fully toilet trained by 14 weeks and although the teething stage was an absolute nightmare with the kids, he was out of it by 19 weeks old. They are extremely clever (His parents were cockapoo and poodle) and they pick up training quickly xOh wow!how is he getting on with teething and toilet training? Xx
Oh no! I have 3 kidsHe’s 9 months so we are way past all that, he was fully toilet trained by 14 weeks and although the teething stage was an absolute nightmare with the kids, he was out of it by 19 weeks old.

Be VERY VERY careful about where you buy from. Puppy farms are a huge problem. You should be able to see the mother and the rest of the litter as well as any other dogs the breeder may have.Yes that's what I'm doing at the moment. I know what you're saying but I'm not the type to buy an animal for its looks. I'm considering a small terrier such as a border terrier as that's what I grew up with. I'm giving myself about 12 months to research and learn etc.
I’ll be honest it was stressful and my kids are 5 and 9! But it’s for such a short period of time, just be warned that all your clothes will get holes inOh no! I have 3 kids
First time breeders AKA ‘backyard breeders’ who are after a quick buck from mating their pet ‘cute dog’ with their mate’s/neighbour’s/bloke from the pub’s pet ‘cute dog’. No health testing on either parent, no thought to the compatibility of the temperaments of the parents (and the result it might have on the puppies), just ££££ in their eyes at the thought of £2k per puppy.If you get a cross bred (or any other dog) make sure all necessary eye, hip etc tests have been done, as many cross breeds are bred by first time breeders they may not recognise the importance of this.
Yes I will be crate training. Somewhere for the pup to have it's own quiet den.Are you planning on crate training? It’s a good idea and also will give the puppy and your children some down time/separate spaces.
They love it, mine are 6 and 7 and still love them, if I can’t find the cat she’s normally asleep in one of them.Yes I will be crate training. Somewhere for the pup to have it's own quiet den.
