| Can I be added to your waitlist?
I do not keep a waitlist. I do, however, keep a contact list of those
who wish to be notified of litters whelped. I notify those on the
contact list when pups are about 7 days old. Those on the contact
list are notified of what is available a few days prior to my posting them
on my website. Once I send out the notification email, I will take
inquiries on a first come/first serve basis. |
| Can I make a deposit on an upcoming litter?
I do not take deposits on unborn pups. |
| How much are your puppies? Puppy
prices vary depending on size, color & gender. Please see our
Prices
& Shipping page |
| Are the puppies warrantied?
Yes, pups are warrantied. See Payment
& Warranty page. |
| Can you tell me more about the disposition
of a cockapoo? Cockapoos are generally "people pleasers".
If they figure out what you desire of them, they strive hard to win your
approval & devotion. They are easily trainable b/c of the high
intelligence inherited from their poodle ancestors. They are also
easy going & loveable, as are their cocker spaniel ancestors.
The result is a dog that is the best of both breeds. As evidenced
on my Home page, they are very good with children
and make wonderful family pets. Because they are so people oriented,
they should not be left alone for extended periods of time. |
| What is required to hold the pup of my choice?
A
NONREFUNDABLE deposit of $200 will hold the pup of your choice. The
deposit is applied toward the purchase price of your puppy. The only
reason for a possible refund is that I or my vet determines that the health
of the pup you chose is questionable in someway. Under those circumstances,
you are eligible to apply the deposit toward another pup or a full refund. |
| Is shipping available? Shipping
is available thru NWA or Delta from either Jackson (JAN) or Memphis (MEM)
International Airports. Please see our Prices
& Shipping page. Due to the distance, expense & the time
required, I can only make the trip to Memphis when I have several pups
going. |
| When are puppies available for new homes?
Pups are available for new homes when they are 8 weeks old & have received
2 vaccinations. Please do not ask to take possession of your
puppy sooner. Pups are not fully immunized even with two vaccinations.
I will not allow them to leave prior to receiving two vaccinations. |
| To what size do your pups mature?
Pups generally mature in the 14 - 16 lb. range. However, I have had
the occassional pup that is under 10 lbs. and occassionally over 20 lbs.
Size generally depends on the parents. I cannot & will not attempt
to guarantee a particular size. |
| Are cockapoos considered nonshedding?
Yes, like poodles, the cockapoo is considered to be nonshedding & as
a general rule, hypoallergenic. However, pups, like children, can
take on the characteristics of one parent more than another. Occassionally
a pup will have a more cocker like appearance with a straighter more cocker
like coat. If so, the chances of some light shedding are more
likely. |
| What are 1st generation cockapoos?
1st generation cockapoos are the offspring of a cocker spaniel parent &
a poodle parent. 2nd generation cockpoos & further are the result
of cockapoo to cockapoo pairings. |
| Do you breed 1st or 2nd generation cockapoos?
I personally believe that you get a more consistent, classic "cockapoo
look" from a cocker spaniel to a poodle breeding. (That is a personal
opinion & other breeders often disagree.) Hence, I only breed
1st generation cockapoos. |
| Are dew claws removed & tails docked?
If so, why? Yes, dews are removed & tails are docked.
Dews are removed to eliminate the danger of the extra toenail becoming
hung & tearing. Tails are docked for aesthetic and sanitary reasons.
Tails are docked so that the pup will have a 3 - 4 inch tail at maturity.
We do not nub the tails off even with the butt.
I believe dogs should have something back there to wag!! That tail
will tell you so much about how a dog is feeling! |
| We have chosen a puppy, but won't be able
to pick it up when it is ready. Will you hold the pup?
I will hold a pup til it is 9 weeks old. After that, there is a $7
per day charge for boarding, plus additional charges for any required veterinary
care, vaccinations, wormings, etc. |
| Can we receive updated photos of our puppy?
I update photos every 10 - 14 days, as time allows. I am hard to
please when taking & posting photos. I take a good bit of time
taking photos & then there is a good deal of time required to load
& edit the photos for a litter of pups. Please be patient.
I know you are anxious to keep up with your pup's progress, and will update
as often as I can. |
| What can you tell me about the differences
in genders - male vs. female? There are some inherent
differences in the males & females. Please see our Male
vs. Female page. |
| Are visits to your home to see the pups allowed?
Yes, visits are allowed. Please call ahead to arrange an appointment.
Visits are allowed at the convenience of our family. |
