PLEASE NOTE. We are taking a break from breeding currently. However the younger members of our family, under their own breeding license are, and you can locate them at info@humphriespoos.co.uk.
We don't approve everyone (sorry)
Please do not be offended, we don't approve everyone, but to give you some idea, see common reasons as to why we would not accept you.
Work full time with nothing in place - we don't permit our Cockapoos or Cavapoos to go to homes where they will be left all day on their own, they are a companion breed and totally not suited to this. Most of our working families use doggy day care of have family to assist.
We breed very loving and good natured dogs, if we feel after meeting you for lots of reasons, your not suitable, we shall let you know, children must respect a puppy, and children must be supervised by adults and taught to respect the needs of a puppy. Playtime is fun, but rough play or teasing cannot be permitted.
Breeding - Our dogs are sold for Pets Only, we don't sell for breeding.
We do like our dogs to go to quality families/owners.
Please do ensure you understanding the commitment required in owning a dog prior to making contact with us please. We shall presume you have certainly considered this responsibility prior to making contact with us and the up side and downsides of owning a companion breed, we presume you have read over this website fully.
Visiting Us
We like to try and keep footfall low for the safety and protection of our pups, however serious people who know they want a Cockapoo or Cavapoo are more than welcome to visit us. We also have our own family Cockapoos which you can meet.
We are not an open kennel, so by appointment only. Due to our other business we are not open 7 days a week, we are open a few days per week. We tend to have most collections of our pups at weekends or some weekdays, always before 2pm, we do not do evenings appointments.
Visiting with Allergies
If you are wishing to know if you are allergic to a Cockapoo or Cavapoo, we do not advise you solely rely on a visit to us or any breeder for that matter. Half an hour spent with a Cockapoo/Cavapoo is not sufficient. We also have spaniel Mums who shed and thus our environment can indeed trigger allergies. We suggest you spend time with a friend or family Cockapoo/Cavapoo first.
Remember it all depends on the coat type, so make sure the Cockapoo or Cavapoo you spend time with is a non shedding, shaggy or curlier coat.
We do advise many families on the right Cockapoo/Cavapoo if you have allergies.
Please ensure you make it clear to us if you suffer from allergies please
How/When You Select Your Pup
If you have an advanced booking with us, you're welcome to come and see your litter with Mum from 4 weeks onwards. No selections can be made until at least 7.5 weeks as we need to be sure of the coat type as some people have allergies. At all times, you will see Mum and her pups interacting. If you live many hours away and it is not practical to visit, we can accommodate you by using what’s app video. You can see more about us and under our set up at this website.
We use to have external breeding arrangements in place with other breeders, but we don’t offer this anymore, it is only our own dogs. Since we re-commenced breeding after the closed period we had during Covid, we only breed from our own dogs and do not not offer the breeding arrangements any longer. This means less litters and less footfall.
We are fully licensed.
Some of our dogs are therapy dogs, school dogs and many are in homes with children with disabilities, also plenty of families who struggled with allergies, now enjoy having a wonderful family Companion.
We health check both parents. Our Dads also are hipped scored
The nature of the parents is vital, our dogs are lovely and very suited to families.
You can be involved from the start, see your pup with its Mum, we allow visits at 4 weeks of age onwards and again around 7 weeks before weaning is completed. Our pups are inside our home until fully weaned.
