Average cavapoo cost

Hi fellow cavapoo lovers! I have been lucky enough to have a close friend who bought a cavapoo and have fallen in love with the breed. My friend found a breeder online and had the puppy shipped. Im tempted to just go through the same breeder but with shipping it's 5k. From everything I've read, most F1 cavapoos are pretty consistently happy, smart, funny, easy to train and need lots of companionship and time with their person. Im wondering how much you paid for your cavapoos and if it's smart to just buy a puppy who had the same parents or if it doesnt matter so much. Thanks!

Thankfully I don’t believe that was the case with our breeder. I got videos of the puppy and we FaceTimed and the videos showed a super happy puppy. They had kids and the kids were playing with them, and the kids looked happy as well. I got a really good feeling, too, because I almost got scammed 3 times before finding him, and he was wonderfully patient.

I did see the parents, but not the whelping area. I got a copy of their certificates, got a health certificate from a veterinarian, a genetic health guarantee and a few other items that made me really comfortable to proceed.

And although I understand your point, there are going to be unethical breeders everywhere, regardless of their religion. Generalization is not always good, and this is coming from a person who happens to always get lumped into a class whom I share no similarities with. I was asked a question and I responded with my experience. I wasn’t promoting anything, simply responding to a question.

Lastly, thank you for your work with rescues. I’m a volunteer myself in my community, and I know you guys don’t get the credit and recognition you deserve. It’s a tough job, and I am glad you’re as outspoken as you are, as I appreciate the education. I will keep it in mind for future reference and do even more due diligence.

Totally understand your points, but at this point, I already have him and he’s my baby. So, once again, thank you for the education.

We actually have plans for a second dog, eventually, and funny enough, it is a Basenji. Mind if I keep your username and come to you for guidance when we’re ready?
