If you LOOK FOR IT - you find negative comments on ANYTHING
If you look at the preponderance of evidence and weigh it accordingly you will find the cockapoo to be one of the best choices for a family dog that one could make. There is a massive amount if disinformation disseminated on the internet as well as some really factual information. This applies to anything not just the cockapoo. HOWEVER! A couple people on this list lately seem to have the agenda of promulgating a dissenting opinion of the cockapoo. Whilst someone may actually be seeking some help for the rare case when any dog including the cockapoo is having an aggression problem for whatever reason starting a campaign to 'dis' the cockapoo is totally counterproductive to helping. The are medical issues at times. A liver shunt - a thyroid as mention - a chemical imbalance would be very hard to diagnose - a head injury - any injury causing sufficient pain to alter the mood - There are training issues - never mind the 'my little darlings would never do that' comment about the 2 legged kids. I've over heard the 4 year old tell the three year old - don't hit this next pup on the head or swing it by the tail while mom is touting how well her kids treat dogs. Mom can't watch the little buggers 24/7. There are training issues when the pup is indeed an alpha and the new owner doesn't know how to cope And yes there could be the rare cockapoo that actually has aggression issues But to blame the entire breed for the foibles of one pup? Get real! And find another list to have a rant on. We have a political year coming up - a great time for your mudslinging talents to be used in a more appropriate venue!
