BREAKING NEWS! Esther and Count, the parents of our handsome 9-lb., chocolate merle, Eli, have had another litter together. They were born on March 5 and include three males: a chocoate, a black tuxedo and a chocolate merle; and two females: a chocolate and a blue merle tuxedo. I’ll be back in Fresno on March 20 to get their first photos.
Seven-pound, chocolate & white parti, Sasha bred with Eli, a 9-pound, chocolate merle. Their puppies were born on Feb. 20. These are 4th generation toy Cockapoos that should grow to 6-10-lbs. when grown. Little Souffle may be the tiniest of the three, but she opened her eyes before her brothers.
Sierra (the daughter of our Cocoa and Romeo) had 8 Super Bowl puppies on the morning of Feb. 6. Eli is the sire. Here are their photos at 4 weeks:
Demand for Cockapoo puppies has been high. We advise you to get on our wait list and also on the wait list of other local, ACC- or NACR-registered breeders. For an application to get on the wait list for a puppy from a future Stew’s Poos litter, e-mail us at stewspoos@me.com

Our puppies are raised in our home underfoot. They are played with, handled daily and well socialized by the time they are ready to go to their new homes. They are also introduced to other dogs in the home, to our cat and to our friends.
Cockapoo puppies can vary in size. Our first generation parent ‘Poos weigh 12-to-18-pounds, but the larger Cocker Spaniel genes can sometimes produce slightly larger adult dogs. Second and third generation dams are bred to smaller males and the result are tiny toy third and fourth generation puppies.
Our veterinarian, Dr. Vicki Boyer of Kernville, removes dewclaws when the pups are three days old. We do not dock their tails. Litters are introduced, at three weeks old, to a top quality puppy food: Nutro Max. They also start learning to use “piddle pads” (instead of our carpet?) when they have to potty. We purchase small toys for the puppies as their mobility increases. They sleep and play with these toys and each will take a toy to their new homes, so they will be comforted by the familiar scents of their mother and siblings.
All puppies will be registered with the North American Cockapoo Registry and the American Cockapoo Club. Proof of the parent dogs´ registration with OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals), along with copies of the parents´ pedigrees, including available NACR- and AKC-registration numbers will be provided to new owners. Our parent dogs have their eye exams, as recommended by CERF (Canine Eye Registry Foundation), however, we no longer register them with the organization since they have adopted the discriminatory policy of charging a higher fee for “hybrid” breeds of dogs.
We order crates, toys and grooming supplies from a company that sells to groomers, breeders and pet shops and so we are able to order these necessities at a considerable discount from Pet Store prices. We offer new families a puppy starter package for $95 (starter crate, bed, food & biscuits, brush, comb, nail scissors, shampoo, piddle pads, harness, leash, toys and more). E-mail us at stewspoos@gmail.com for more information about everything that is included.
Our pups are sold with a one year warranty stating that they are free of genetic life-threatening physical defects which would interfere with their ability to be a good pet or cause great expense. Also, within five days of your bringing your new puppy home, if the dog is not found to be sound and in good health (worms and parasites excepted) by your veterinarian, you may return the dog for a full refund.
Prices for our second generation ‘Poo pups start at $800. Third generation pups run approximately $100 more, etc. Notice will go out to those on our waiting list after the pups are born. Those still interested should either telephone or e-mail and let us know. At that time, a non-refundable, 20 percent deposit is requested, which will be deducted from the total cost of the dog.
