Where did you get the idea that I would do that?!

I got the idea based on everything you've said so far. Because I'm not an idiot.

You sound crazy.

No, I'd say that was a pretty accurate, level-headed assessment of the OP's intentions.

Please tell me what part of this says to you that the goal is to leave a dog alone in a crate all day. Do tell.

“My family wants a dog, and I am somewhat resistant because I know I will end up doing most of the work. I think dogs are cute but did not grow up with them (we had cats), and I know that puppies are like newborns, which is a little terrifying.

I have spent so much time researching dog breeds, and IF we decide to move forward with a dog, I think I have settled on wanting it to be a cavapoo. I like their size, lack of shedding, they are adorable, and everything I read points out a sweet and laid back disposition. I do not want a hyper or anxious dog.

If you have a cavapoo, please tell me about your experience and be super honest - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I haven’t given in yet.”

Cockapoo are great.

My in-laws have a cockapoo that is completely neurotic, reactive to everyone and everything, is allergic to numerous foods and environmental factors, barks the entire time it’s left alone, and snaps at the grandchildren if they get too close to grandpa.

OP is asking about a CAVApoo. Not a Cockapoo.

Cockapoos are awful. I haven’t met one that isn’t mean, barky, and anxious-aggressive. Cavapoos have very different temperaments.

Yeah, unfortunately cocker spaniels were really popular and overbred on the 1950s-1970s (remember Checkers?) and the breed ended up with some really undesirably traits like reactivity, guarding, etc. At one point cockers were well known as biters of children because they were the right size for children to approach and they would nip likes crazy. (Small bites but often on the face or hands.). I think cockers can be great and are adorable but I would be really nervous about any cocker strain unless it came from a breeder that was really aware of the issues and breeding heavily for temperament. I think the British cockers might be better but I’m not sure.

Cavapoos big problem is the heart problem which something like 50% have. I would want a breeder that tested the parents and was aware of the grandparents had developed the heart problem. It usually shows up around age 5-6 so after breeding age. One thing that drives me nuts about the AKC is that it tracts health testing for registered dogs but does not track death dates/reasons. So you can see that the grandparent had a clear heart check at age 2 but can’t see if the dog dropped dead at 7 with a heart problem or cancer. Sometimes you can find the info online if the grandparent’s kennel posts like an in memoriam.

Sorry meant to say 50% of cavaliers have the heart problem. I don’t know about the rates for cavapoos. Might be less due to cross breeding or might be more because of all the unscrupulous doodle breeders that don’t do health checks or track the parentage.

Did you not read the rest of the thread where the OP responded with this? No obviously you didn't because you're a moron.

Thank you so much for responding. Can I please ask you a few more questions?
-Do you work outside of the home, and if so what are your dog arrangements?
-Does the dog go in a crate and where does he/she sleep?
-Was potty training easy or difficult?
-Does he/she bark a lot?
-How much exercise/walking do you do?
-Does the dog have separation anxiety?

Thank you!!

Well they didn't research "dog breeds" very hard if they think cavapoo is a breed.

Those are totally reasonable questions and don’t remotely imply wanting to lock the dog in a crate all day?

One of the PPs re the heart problem. The cardiologist told us they all get it eventually and the cross doesn’t really lower the risk.

I would get a pure Cavalier. Poodles can be hard to train and hyper.

Also, I think breeders of pure breeds have higher standards since the cross breeds don’t have the rules as breeders registers with the AKC. My Cavalier breeder carefully tests for heart issues.
