Wow, I had no idea that hypothyroidism caused this type behavior Sadly its more common than we know and apparently a lot of vets don't look unless asked either. The good part when diagnosed medication can make all the difference in the world. The other thing I find real sad is the cockapoo is such a great pet, but along with becoming so popular over the last few years many people have jumped on the bandwagon and are mass breeding, for example puppy mills. They don't breed for temperament, they just breed for greed period. I got Buffy in 2000, at the time when I was searching for one I checked shelters and such there were little to no cockapoos in the shelters and why because no one that owned them gave them up. I find it so sad now when you find hundreds listed at petfinder on any given week. Cockapoos when breed properly are the best, they have the best of traits, they are so loving and so much fun. They are loved by all. I get really disturbed when I read about aggression, behavioral problems with cockapoos because this isn't/wasn't 8 years ago. Puppy mills breed anything to anything including inbreeding and there is where you have a down hill course. Cockapoos are getting a bum rap, I run the other cockapoo group and we are over 600 members and few to none have temperament problems with their poos. Most behavior problems are because of human error while the puppy is growing up. Are my 4 poos perfect, of course not, but they are damn near it. ~~ Susan ~~ & The Poo Gang Mikey, Buffy, Amy & Lacey ~~~ "When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long." -- Unknown ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
