PUPPY LOVE KENNEL

came to live

How it all began . . . .

After acquiring a wonderful pet cockapoo, Molly Shea, that did not cause allergy problems, we promptly moved ahead with our dream of starting a kennel. Our research led us to a wonderful, experienced breeder who has become our mentor. From her we have acquired three breeding quality Cockapoos with outstanding pedigrees - Cara Mia, a buff/white 12 lb female who is "too cute" in looks and personality,  Terra Nova Toby, a black/white parti weighing in at 22 lbs. and who is a happy, gentle male,  Maragold in July 08, and from another great breeder in Caifornia, Frisco Bay in October 08. Sophie joined our family in March 09 and is quite a character. Her spunky personality and beautiful green eyes have captured all our hearts. Robin came to live with in March, 2010 and she is a beautiful tri color puppy - white, black & tan (with silver sable coming in also). She is such a fun puppy!  Bailey is our fourth female (May 2010) and has become fast friends with Robin and Sophie. She is more petite than Robin but can "almost" keep up with her.

   CARA MIA has such a dynamic personality! She has a wonderful buff coat with white "socks", and a white star on her chest and forhead. At 14 lbs. she makes a perfect lap dog who loves to be cuddled. She loves to play with us, our other Cockapoos, or by herself. Mia proved to be a great little mother with her first litters. Their new families are thrilled with them. Because Mia had such difficult deliveries, even when bred with tiny 'Frisco, we decided to spay and retire her. She now lives with a wonderful family in Connecticut with another cockapoo playmate.

Sophie, above, became part of our family on March 21, 2009. She is such an "imp" and those big green eyes are always full of fun. She is Toby's half sister, having the same daddy. Her mom is chocolate too! Her maternal instincts are obvious as she takes care of all the new additions to our kennel family. Can't wait to see her puppies!!

  TERRA NOVA TOBY is so happy and gentle.  Molly, Maragold, Frisco, Sophie, Robin, and Bailey pull on his ears, nip his ankles (to get him playing) and is usually "it" when they play "tag" (resembles a childhood game I played). He shares his toys (but not his food!) Rub his belly and he is yours! He has the greatest coat that is easy to groom. He is very affectionate and loves to hang around me. Toby has produced six great puppies, all of whom have his terrific personality.

About Cockapoos

The parents of our Cockapoos are AKC registered.

The parents of 1st generation Cockapoos have one parent a Cocker Spaniel and the other parent a Poodle. This combination, when selected by a knowledgeable breeder,  gives the best  both breeds: non shedding, hypoallergenic* coat, intelligent, easy to train, loves people of all ages and is very adaptable.

Toby, Maragold, Sophie, Robin, and Bailey are 1st generation Cockapoos. 

Frisco's mother is a 3rd generation chocolate & white parti and weighs 7 lbs. His sire is a 2nd generation 9-lb. chocolate. Both parents, all four  grandparents and most of the great-grandparents (that I know of) have CERF, OFA, etc.

Second and subsequent generations of Cockapoos are produced from breeding Cockapoo to Cockapoo.

FRISCO BAY  is a very affectionate little guy - but doesn't back down from our other dogs. At 7 lbs, he has successfully sired two litters of beautiful, smaller cockapoos with more to follow in 2010 - Maragold and Sophie

Robin is such a snuggle bunny when it comes to nap time but, after only a day with us, jumps into playing with the "big" dogs. She and Sophie have become good friends already and have adopted little Bailey into their fun

Bailey joined our family in May 2010. She has a quiet personality, is very intelligent - at 8 weeks sleeps through the night, uses the doggy door to go potty and to play outside, hops in her crate at mealtime, and gives me lots of snuggles and kisses. Bailey and Robin have such fun and are great entertainment for us.
