Our wonderful Cockapoo, Missy, is pregnant with her third and final litter.

Missy has had her scan and it has been confirmed around 7 puppies are due to be born around in mid-August, meaning they will be ready for their forever homes mid-October. At this stage, we cannot know the mix of sex that the puppies will be when born.

Missy is our family pet and is four years old. She is super fit, happy and healthy, and enjoys walks - especially in the woods, playing fetch with balls or a frisbee, and swimming. She is as soft and gentle as you will ever see from a dog and has the most wonderful temperament, she is obedient, intelligent and willing to please her family.

She has also been a mum to two previous litters, each with a different stud and her puppies have turned out truly amazing.

After completing all the necessary health checks, Missy was mated with a rather dashing chap, called Phantom - who has had all of his health checks too.

Phantom is a proven stud dog who obviously carries the phantom hair gene and the ability to produce various colour puppies. Please see his photo for a description on the phantom coat type. He has been picked for his temperament, intelligence, colouring and size.

Missy has had colour testing too and carries the genes for black & tan (with sable), black, brown, yellow (incl red & apricot), and the parti gene for all of these variants. She also carries the wavy coat gene, rather than the tight curls you'd see on a poodle.

Whilst we cannot register a mix-breed with the Kennel Club, we have put Missy on the Activity Register of the Kennel Club - the best we can do to show she is healthy, happy and fully tested dog. Buyers should note that Missy was the puppy of two KC registered dogs, and Phantom is himself a KC registered poodle. We have family history certificates to document this.

We have a Facebook page (search Sunaraelia Dogs) where you can read reviews from buyers of our other dogs over the past few years.

Private Facebook and Instagram groups have been set up by us at Sunaraelia Dogs. We will only invite buyers to our group after deposit is paid. By having a closed puppy buyers group on social media, you will benefit from daily photos, videos and advice through the first 8 weeks of their lives. This also provides the group with an opportunity to get to know all the puppies before they make their final choice, though you should bear in mind that those who pay a deposit first will get first pick - whether that be paid before or after puppies are born.

Though deposits will be accepted before pups are born for those who want to confirm their pick early, we won't know for sure how many puppies will definitely arrive, nor the quantity of boys or girls in the litter, you will need to pay a deposit with a 'boy' or 'girl' specification. Deposits can be made directly to us, or via Pets4Homes and the money sits in escrow until both breeder and buyer click 'confirm transfer'. This is a very safe way to store the deposit for both parties, though you should note a charge will apply to the buyer from Pets4Homes.

Each puppy will be given a coloured collar at birth and you will get regular updates on social media, helping you to get to know the puppies as they navigate their first 8 weeks in the world.

First visits will be held at 4 weeks of age - just to meet the puppies.

Second visit at around 6 weeks will be 'choosing day'. By waiting until 6 weeks, you get to see puppies everyday on social media and meet him/her twice as it is important you feel a connection with puppy. We will run the second visit for buyers at 6 weeks in order of deposit paid, so you will know which puppies are available for you when you come.

About You: You must be able to care for the dog by giving it a safe and loving home, regular exercise and proper nutrition. We expect that you enter into this commitment fully aware of the needs of the breed, but we will provide information on this via email. We will send you a questionnaire to complete so that we can ensure we sell a puppy in the knowledge that it will be joining a great family. A contract of sale will be drawn up to protect you, us and most importantly, the dog. All puppies will come with full documentation, be Vet checked, microchipped, flea/worm etc. We will also include a puppy pack that will have a blanket from mum, good quality feed (kibble) and a kong toy + more. They will also come their own folder which documents everything you will need to know for your new member of the family.

We also require a FaceTime/Teams/Zoom call with potential buyers before any deposits are paid. By doing this, you'll get to meet Missy and us, and we get to meet you.

Price is set at £1200 per puppy, with a deposit of 25% which can be paid via Pets4Homes, Paypal, cash or direct bank transfer.

Please do get in touch by chat or by phone if you have any questions at all.

We look forward to matching a lovely puppy with a fantastic family.

Photos will be added of litter on arrival.
