Everyone that my dog meets loves her. She is the 2nd Cockapoo we've had and I wouldn't get anything else. I tell her she is my BFF (best furry friend). Anyone who doesn't like them really needs to get a life.

First of all, there are haters for anything you can think of or be nowdays. Seems anything that makes someone happy has to in turn make someone else full of rage. It's like the yin/yang of the Modern Age. I have run into some Cocker snobs who think Cock-a-poos are inferior. But mostly I have heard neutral to great feedback about them from people. The good things in the cocker and poodle balance each other to make a fine dog. And people reacting to my Windy--well let's just say they all fall in love with her just like I did. Back in the 70's when Cock-a-poos first got popular--they were considered pretty exclusive I heard. (I had one as a child for just a little while---til my parents got spooked at Muffin's first illness and had her put down.) And even now, they can sell for over $600 by some breeders. At least that's what I found when I was looking last year before I found Windy. One person's "mutt" is another person's Treasure and Joy!!!! Just Blow Them Off---they are full of it!!! *Bright Blessings* Linda --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] s.com, "banditsmom0707" <banditsmom0707@ ...> wrote: > > Have any of you been on Yahoo Answers?
