And I only breed cockapoos because we are working on making them a breed. I have been over this before with a couple of other members who respect my for being open and honest and for my reasons for breeding cockapoos.

As I have said before, I am the founder of the American cockapoo club which I started several years ago for keeping track of the lineage of our dogs. We are up 4+ generations, and we have a couple of breeders who are up to 10th generations of cockapoos.

We also have a new name for them that will go into effect within the next year and become part of the rare breeds organization. It takes a long time to get a dog recognized and I wont let you put me down for it. They are even on the OFA list of recognized "breeds".. go look..that took some time to get the cockapoo on there as well.

You wont find a yorkie poo, or other hybrids or designer breeds on their list. There are some of us out here that love the cockapoo breed and don't do it to make money. I certainly don't make any money, just ask my husband.:D

The cockapoo is not a hybrid or a designer dog and have been around for a very long time. Unfortunately there are some people out there breeding them for money and only breeding cocker and poodle "hybrids", just like some breeders of purebreds do it for the money by mass producing. I breed 2-3 litters a year.

And the good ones do all the appropriate testing on their dogs, including me:) and I am proud of my breeding program.

So, you can think anything you like, I cannot change closed minds and I don't want to. But I will defend myself when being judged by someone who doesn't even know me.

Have a wonderful day. :)

Case in point, we had a woman join our local breed club, who was very serious about yorkies. We all took her under our wings to assist her in exhibiting her yorkie. Through the course of the first year, she began breeding yorkies and Chi's. Needless to say it was not taken very well by members. When it time rolled around for renewing membership (dues), she was not accepted back.

Another person began attending meetings to the same yorkie club and if memory serves me correctly I think she was a YT member. She was breeding Shelties and Yorkies... Needless to say she was not accepted.

All breed clubs require home visits prior to accepting a potential member into the club.....Whether you are doing it cautiousley or not, cross breeding is very frowned upon by these breed clubs.

Give me a break.... If that is the case then why do you have Cocker Spaniel and Minature Poodle and others listed as what the mix of your dogs are on your dog family page (link)...hmmmm ????

If they were just a Cockapoo (which is still a hybrid) then you wouldn't need to list the mixes...now would you?

A hybrid is a mix of 2 purebred dogs, not their offspring. How do you think breeds are made? just appear? A cockapoo multi-generation is just that, breeding with the start of a cocker and poodle, and then cockapoo to cockapoo and ONLY cockapoo to cockapoo. That is NOT a hybrid. ONLY a first generation (F1) is a hybrid.

Please, if your going to jump on my butt, do it with some research first. and even if you don't agree with what I do, some respect would be nice. I have tried to show it to you.

Are you talking about my dogster pages? LOL.. they only give you so many choices for breeds.

Let me list them for you..

Pennie, 7 months 5 pounds purebred yorkie, champion sired. Intact.

Gracie, 11 months, 5 pounds purebred yorkie, champion sired. Intact

Just a bit of suggestion....do away with listing your yorkies as Championed sired. It is viewed as an advertising ploy. These maynot be the yorkies you plan to breed, but still viewed as an advertising ploy.

Ok, calling me names isn't going to help your "cause".. I am not dumb nor do I play dumb. I honestly did not understand what you meant.

You try to add your dog to dogster and see what choices it gives you, and yes you have to list them..

I am done with you..You just aren't listening..:mad:

Enough already.. I only posted that here i dont advertise them.. some of you are so nasty to people on here, not just me. You find something to pick at and you pick it until it bleeds and treating people like this is sickening and just mean.
