FAQ's About Our Puppies |

Q: What puppies do you currently have available? |
|
A: All of our available puppies are listed on our Web site, along with photos and information about the moms and dads. We update infomation and pictures on a regular basis. See Available Puppies page. |

|
Q: What are your prices? |
|
A: Puppies are priced individually based on gender, color and coat, but prices start at $500, with a spay/neuter agreement. We do not usually post prices until the puppies are about three weeks old. By that age, we can somewhat determine what their coats will be like. However, coat type cannot be fully determined until the puppies are about 8 weeks old. Before that, we are only making assumptions. |

|
|
Q: How large will the puppies be when they are full grown? |
|
A: Our adult dogs are between 11 and 25 pounds, so the puppies should be in that range. |
|
|
|
Q: Do you vaccinate the puppies? |
|
A: We give our puppies a parvo puppy vaccine at about 4-5 weeks of age. At 7-8 weeks of age, we give them a Progard5 vaccine. Your puppy will need a series of vaccines to fully protect him/her. Your vet will inform you of further vaccination requirements. Please read more about vaccinations on our Information Page under Vaccinations. |

|
|
Q: Are the puppies wormed? |
|
A: Our puppies are wormed with a homeopathic wormer. Fecal exams have shown these methods to be even more effective than conventional wormers, and they are much safer for the puppies. However, we also use Panacur or another wormer if necessary. See Internal Parasites on our Information Page. |

|
|
Q: Are your puppies registered? |
| |
A: Our litters are registered with the ACC (American Cockapoo Club). Information about registering your puppy on the ACC Web site is included in your puppy packet. |

|
|
Q: Why is it important that my puppy is registered? |
| |
A: Belonging to a registry insures that all of our Cockapoos are of registered Cocker Spaniel and Poodle descent. Registration provides documentation that the dog does not have bloodlines from other breeds and that he or she is descended from a Cocker Spaniel and Poodle. You can access the American Cockapoo Club Web site to find out more information about Cockapoos and about the registry. |

|
Q: What do you feed your puppies? |
|
A: While our puppies are with us, we feed them Kirkland puppy food from Costco, which is similar Nutro Natural Chicken and Rice Puppy Food. We will send our puppies home with a small bag of this puppy food. |

|
Q: Why do you give your puppies NuVet Supplements? |
|
A: NuVet Nutritional Supplements help boost the immune system of dogs and puppies. It is full of herbs, vitamins and minerals to help keep them in the best of health. We believe giving them this supplement reduces the risk of many potential health issues. Please read more about NuVet under Health. |
