hi and welcome to the forum Nichola! Smile

a cockapoo is a cocker spaniel/poodle cross Wink

oh i think i saw your boy on sunday and he is impressive!!!!!

what is a cockapoo?...........a crossbreed between a cocker spaniel and a poodle! new to this country but have been going in the us for over 40 years and have been registered as a breed with the american kennel club!

i have two , one black ,inca and the other blonde, gypsy though i have to add she is a mucky pup and loves to get dirty so isn't blonde for long!

the advantage of this crossbreed is they don't cast and they cancel out a lot but not all of the individual problems each breed can inherit!

needless to say i love them dearly and have had both breeds separately!

as for a good vet i am not sure but shirley c on this forum has a good vet in airdrie and if it is the same guy i have known think he is good with large breeds!

The vets I use are Acres in Airdrie but im not sure what one you use, I have never had a problem with them but we have lurchers, tho they know all about the problems with greyhounds with anesthesia and flea collars and such so I feel comfortable with either of the girls there or the older woman.

where do you use?

Welcome by the way, seen your dog on Sunday, me and my hubby, Allan have Pixel the black lurcher and he also brings my mums rhodesian ridgeback, tho we are soon to get our own ridgeback soon Smile

hiya,
i seen your ridgeback thy are lovely dogs, i use acres vets but due to a few disagreements and them not having alot of knowledge of the breed i have, im not going back,
im not saying they are bad o that but just dont make me feel happy with there advice and things they have said,like they told me feeding the raw diet want good and that any dog food is good and a few other things that i really wasnt happy with.
my puppies are my life and i just want the best for them.
im one of they embarasing dog mummies.. Razz

We are with Lawries in Cumbernauld. There are some excellent vets in there ( and some dodgy ones!!! i.e. Mrs Lawrie, she's scared of big dogs! Shocked

) But there are certainly some good guys there. Very Happy

JayDee and I always ask for Graham Leathers now as he is just superb... all family animals go to him now. He is with the Lawrie Practice mentioned above.

Yes I'm with the rest of the crowd in that we are with Lawrie's for our Clumber Spaniel and there are several good vets there, and I agree with their comments. If you live in Airdrie then Lawrie's might be too far for you to come, but I do hope you are successful in your search. Oh course you want the best for your puppies, we all do and aren't embarrassed to admit it. Good luck! Very Happy

PS Graham Leathers has always been my vet of choice too!
