ABOUT US
The British Cockapoo Society was set up in August 2013 to raise awareness of Cockapoos, encourage responsible ownership, and inform those interested in these lovely dogs about all aspects of Cockapoo care.
We also support the national charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, who breed and train dogs to become fully fledged Assistance Dogs for adults and children in the deaf community
We aim to provide a friendly and welcoming environment where no question is too small and no problem too big to be discussed.
We will encourage owners to train their dogs in a positive and gentle manner, using positive reinforcement techniques, and do not in any way support the outdated 'Alpha dog, Leader of the pack' technique still advocated by some.
Cockapoos are becoming an increasingly popular crossbreed - hardly surprising, they are fantastic dogs and make great family pets.
For members we offer an active Facebook Chat page, which is a great way to get to know other members and discuss all aspects of Cockapoo owning life! Members also have the opportunity to join in on organised walks and events as well as fun competitions organised within the club, and will receive a monthly newsletter sent direct to their e mail address.
An important part of our club activities also involves fundraising for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People by holding fun events and competitions. We are a completely non profit making organisation and so every penny raised goes to a wonderful charity.
