We hope you found this video helpful! Please contribute to anything that I've missed out, I know its a long video so here are some time stamps: Cavapoo colouring and price range: 4:24 What a good breeder should have: 6:39 How to spot a bad breeder: 9:42 How we bought Bailey and how much we paid: 13:16
I got my cavachon 12 years ago for $300! Hes white wavy coat with apricot ears and a spot on his side. He’s the sweetest, loyal and perfect dog for our home. He doesn’t leave my side. I’m so lucky he’s still frisky and doing well.
What i did was ask to have set up a time for a live video call to see the puppy and speak brieflywith breeder. If they are professional breeders they will be more than happy to make a time for a video call, if the person you are negotiating with just wants to send you photos or some random video- WALK OUT of the purchase. I was able to get out of over 25 scams in a matter of 4 weeks by asking this one question: i would like to set up a video call to speak briefly and see the puppy. 😉 Good luck to all!
Alot of breeders have put they're price up. We never, don't agree with that just because of the current climate. Making sure they got the right home is the main thing. Our price remaind at 1600 even tho alot was online for sale between 2-3 k. Our deposit is £100. Also always make sure u can have video chat to see what you are buying.
Hello Steve, This is what i like to see. My family wants a cavapoo but dont know where to go for one. What you have stated looks amazing! Please get back to me with your website details!! Thank you 😊
Hi Vicky! Love watching you and Bailey!! I just bought my Cavapoo for $3,000 here in the U.S. These wonderful dogs are unfortunately getting incredibly expensive since they are a "designer dog." I've researched about 20 different breeders on the east coast of the U.S. and found prices ranging from $2000-$3000. At any breeder, a deposit of $500-$800 is usually required to secure your pup - sometimes a deposit is required even before your puppy is born! Waitlists for a cavapoo are incredibly long now, especially given quarantine. Everyone wants a puppy now.
Sarah M thanks for commenting! $2000 is a little bit more than what the breeder originally wanted for Bailey, at the moment I’ve seen a lot of puppies advertised for around the equivalent of $3000 too! It’s crazy how much people now charge for dogs just because they can! I think it’s sad when deposits are expected so early as there’s no guarantee of their health or even if all of the puppies will survive:( I agree it seems that a lot of people seem to be wanting puppies during the lockdown, I’ve already seen quite a few people trying to rehome their puppies as they’re not the right fit. Hopefully the puppies have all found good homes the first time round but I think there will be plenty up for adoption in the future (of all breeds) as families go back to work etc. The only silver lining I can think of with higher prices is that hopefully less dogs will be abandoned, take care and good luck with your puppy💙
@@vickyandbailey5840 Well bred dogs will cost 2k-4K. It’s not crazy, given that a big majority of cavaliers have lots of health problems. It’s definitely worth the money specially coming from breeders that health test extensively, and raise puppies using a curriculum. A lot goes into raising a litter, not just money wise.
I also wanted to give some tips for buying as well: 1.Make sure that the parents are DNA tested for the illnesses that the breeds are prone to. It shows the breeder cares about the health and well-being of their dogs as well as the puppies they are selling. 2. See the environment the puppies are being raised in, make sure everything is clean (smell of animals is common especially since puppies are messy but it should never be horrid as that means poor hygiene and environment). 2. If there’s pens and crates it’s fine as it maybe for training but if they are shown in a crate and are scared of you/ the breeder then leave that means the puppies are not well socialised and have most probably been left in crates and pens with little to no human contact. BAD breeder. STAY AWAY. 3. You should check the puppies over and ask health questions before putting down deposits, don’t be afraid to ask the breeder is the deposit will be refunded if the puppy’s health check doesn’t go as planned (if they have a serious illness or something that can’t be treated). 4. DO NOT put down a deposit before seeing them with mum! They can be through video call as long as you see breeders face with the puppies like suggested in the video. 5. See if the breeder offers a contract and gives you an invoice/ receipt for deposit and after paying the rest of the money. If they feel offended at such a question look for someone else. It’s either a scam or an unethical breeder. 6.You shouldn’t be shy with asking any sort of questions, you should educate yourself before buying the puppy and research the breed. Not only for you but this sort of research should be common knowledge for the breeder and they should speak fluently in the subject, giving you information before you even ask about it. It shows more about the breeder, they are educated and care about their litter of puppies and know exactly what to do. This is also reassuring for you as the new owner as you should feel you are able to pop any sort of question and feel comfortable that the advice you ask the breeder- then and after bringing your sweet baby home will be given to you from a good and trusted source. This is one of the essentials. It feels like you are not only bringing home a healthy and well socialised puppy but you have built a trusted relationship with the breeder who should offer life time support. 7. Make sure the puppies have been wormed and flead, ask the what sort of brand they used. Any tips they have and also it’s always nice if the breeder give you and information pack where everything is written down for you so you know exactly what to get and where to find it. These are things good and ethical breeder should do and provide you as the potential owner. Time, love and effort goes into this so be respectful and take your time if you don’t find you puppy straight away don’t get upset. Take time and research, see red flags? Follow your instincts. It takes time and if you are rushing you are more likely to fall into a trap. Also remember if you are dealing with an ethical breeder they might back out too if they don’t like something. They won’t be in a rush to or force sell you a puppy if they truly care about the well-being.
Wow, this is interesting! I'd like to warn people not to buy from a well-known breeder in Warrington. As someone that hadn't bought a puppy before I wasnt aware of all these considerations. We just bought our little Louis the Cavapoo for £2500 at the start of May. After collecting him and the next couple of days we realised he was pretty sick, after 2 vets and a 2 day hospital trip we now have a new healthy puppy full of life but it was very much touch and go! Keep posting your videos, they're fab and Im learning loads! x
Bec Dx thank you for commenting! Would you mind naming Louis’s breeder? Your comment has interested me because Warrington is relatively local to me, I’m very glad to hear he’s in good health now - you can never be too careful💙
Hi Vicky, I recently found your channel after searching for cavalier King Charles spaniel vlogs and your channel is brilliant. I get my little cavalier in 2 weeks and your videos with bailey are so informative and have given me some great ideas. It’s such a shame so many people are taking advantage and doing scams but this video is great at making sure people take all the steps not to be a victim 😊 I’d love to see more dog treat recipes. Stay safe 💓
Thank you Kristina:) Congratulations on your new puppy, it's the most amazing time! It's lovely to hear that you've been enjoying our videos, I hope you'll like our future videos too I agree it's such a shame that this keeps happening, I've seen two more people that have been scammed just this morning:( Keep safe and best of luck with your new arrival!
Brilliant video, really informative. Looking to get a cavapoo but due to current situation they are really, really popular and are snapped up quickly. Thank you for highlighting the scammers too, some ads I've seen seem too good to be true. Will keep looking and look forward to more videos. Bailey is such a sweetie ☺️
Thank you so much! It can be really tricky at the moment but things should calm down again:) The best thing to do is to stay patient, we’ll be back with another soon💙
Thanks for this video i have been watching you since day one and have been looking for a cavapoo or a mini goldendoodle for 3 years. We have asked these questions before so thanks for spreading awareness
Great advice. I'm looking for a Cavapoo puppy, and have been doing a lot of homework to make sure I know everything about them. I fell in love with one a couple of years ago, and now feel the time is right for me, but unfortunately I think I have left it a bit late, with what is happening with us all with COVID 19. I think it will probably be next year before I get one, due to the high demand they seem to have, and also this will give me more time to find a reputable breeder. Just one question. Bailey is adorable, though looks quite big on screen he he standard size? I'm hoping to get a smaller dog as I live in a flat, though right beside woods where everyone walks their dogs.
Dawn Gyles thanks Dawn:) At the moment I agree that it’d be better to wait until the new year as the prices are pretty crazy! Bailey’s quite big for the breed but there’s major depth of field when he’s looking into the camera - most of the time he is standing on my knee and leaning into the camera which makes him look a lot bigger than he is:) he weighs 10 kilos and his head is about knee height on me (5”7), I’d say he’s mostly legs too!
@@vickyandbailey5840 Thank you, that does explain things. I've now signed up to Borrow My Doggy, and there are a few Cavapoos, so I've volunteered just for one.......so far.....
We paid $750 for Tanji as this was before they became so popular. Cavoodles now in Australia are between $4000 and $7000 which is pretty ridiculous. I don't think the cost changes regardless if they are Standard, Miniature and Toy.
Your story is likely about to be mine! I lost a Shih Tzu/Poodle beginning of this month and apparently I need the companionship because I’m going to look at a Cavapoo Saturday! A turn of events considering I thought I’d be waiting for Poovanese in March. But that fell through and there’s now this option 😀❤️🐶
Everything I hear about this breeder is reputable and she’s been kind to keep me informed. And offered my deposit back since the Poovanese didn’t work out.
Ah I’m sorry for your loss, I hope it goes well for you, we really couldn’t cope without a four legged friend! Cavapoos are lovely dogs, I couldn’t recommend the breed enough💙🐾
Might be a good idea to explain the difference between size as people could purchase a miniature thinking it is small and find it grown bigger than they expecte. The toy is the smaller but still a good size t about 36 inches
All puppies were being sold for $500.00 for their anniversary sale. They had dogs in Austrailia,,California, Pennsylvania etc. After they said her ticket had been scanned, they wanted another $1200 or $1500.00 that's when I said no more money, that was not in our agreement.
Maybe in a year or so the prices will go down, but in Australia the current rate for a. Cavoodle is between $4,000 and $6000 AUD. That's between 2,100 and 3,100 pounds.This is even with reputable breeders and there's no way around this. Maybe, MAYBE the price will go down after lockdown is over, but I'd say breeders will be used to getting this price and it's now become the new standard. This is highway robbery, but that's what people are prepared to pay. They're also often selling puppies without parent health testing however they almost always have microchips and vet checks. People, including reputable breeders, are basically greedy. I feel sad that so few people seem concerned about the dogs themselves in Australia.
Jennifer it’s disappointing to hear that:( I don’t know many people from Australia/ know about the prices there so I didn’t want to comment and potentially mislead anyone, I think it’s quite shocking that people are charging these amounts, I think it’s also surprising how many people are paying it. It’s a shame because some families are being priced out of the breed and many will just breed the dogs for profit like you’ve said. There might be an Australian Cavapoo community which you could join, our UK group lists some reputable breeders on there so that could be a good route. From checking today I’ve seen sable Cavapoos listed at £3,500 in the UK which have always been the cheapest, it’s just a shame. After this settles it’s quite likely that there will be young dogs who need to be rehomed when peoples’ lifestyles change again so keep an eye on shelters!
One VERY RED FLAG is when the seller is asking for payment by Bitcoin or gift cards (Amazon, ebay, Walmart, etc.) instead of accepting PayPal. These are invariably scams.
Hello quick question! I have a cavapoo / cavachon and i was wondering what you feed yours? Mine just turned a year old so it’s time For dog food! Thanks!!
Tanya Suggs thank you! Bailey has gone lighter but I think he’s kept his redness, fading is very common in the breed due to a gene in the poodle:) I think Bailey also goes lighter in the sun and darkens again in winter x
Sorry I replied to the wrong message. Lol I will check with the vet about the chip, and thanks for the information regarding color change. I can’t wait to get my cavapoochon in July.
Hi Vicky. I’m in the states. Could you give be me a referral for a cavapoo. Are you in the states also. I’m having a really hard time between the time it would be for waiting lists and the inflated cost to 4 and 5,000 be a increased sales from covid🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😢
I have a Labradoodle She is 11 months old and I’m desperate to get a Cavapoo I want one that is red with like a rock white stripe down the middle I’ve seen them on online ads but I don’t know what I should pay for them so do you have any Idea how much I should pay
Hi thanks so much for sharing all your wealth of knowledge. I'm a 60 year old lady and my partner has died recently and my adult son has moved out too. All my friends have dogs and have recommend I get one too. Of course I wouldn't get one without doing tons of research to make sure I would be a good owner and to find a breed that would suit me . I am just about to sell my home ( as there is just too much sadness and pain here in my cottage now) So I wouldn't buy a puppy until I get my new home obviously. But I do think ( having searched a read etc) a cock a poo may be the doggy for me . I too live up North, the North West to be exact but all the puppies I have seen have been mostly priced around 2 to 3 K 🤷♀️ I havent seen many in the price bracket your kinda saying? Do you think they have shot up in price in the last few months? Do you think I would be ok as a novice owner with one of this breed ? Thanks again Sue x
I want a cavapoo soooo bad but my dad likes cocker spaniels more ;((( so sad. Cavapoos are the cutest dog alive i dont care what anyone says!! 🥰😝😁 This vid is amazing helps alot! Thank you keep it up 👍🏻
We are looking at getting a cavoodle here in aus! The best two ads we could find (without having to travel too much) was for about $5000-$6000! Is that too much to pay?
MrMhupk it depends on who you are really, it’s an individual choice on what’s right for you - your budget, time of your life etc. It might be the case that this is the absolute best time for you to get a dog and waiting 6 months isn’t an option! I personally think it’s a lot to pay and I would strongly advise waiting (it’s around 3 times what we paid for Bailey) but we’re in unprecedented times and it’s exactly that - a personal choice:) I think because you’re looking into prices you might already think it’s a bit much to pay but it’s just a choice you have to make💙 Make sure you don’t pay until you’ve seen them in person and good luck in your search!x
We brought home our little Cavapoo on 06/08/20 and boy she is a cutie. Our daughter bought one from the same breeder a year ago for $625. We paid $1,200 and found that the breeder was one of the lowest-priced breeders in Ohio. She actually increased her prices because the other breeders were so much higher in price. She sold 5 Cavapoos and 5 King Charles Cavaliers in less than 6 hours, they were born on the same day. Most other breeders are and selling them for $1900-$3500 in Ohio.
Mya Christie congratulations! Bailey’s bed is a size medium I believe, we get his things from a lot of different shops so we don’t really have a preference and lots of products are available on Amazon. Pets at home have large ranges if you’re looking for inspiration:) his first harness was from Puppia and his big boy harness is from JuliusK9
Kian Songra thanks for commenting:) There are lots of genuine people out there so I hope I haven’t alarmed you! I just want to make sure people are aware, best of luck!💙
Meet my crazy Life to be honest I’m not sure at the moment! For a while I’ve recommended looking into Raffles but I’ve recently seen some poor reviews for there too:( I’d recommend waiting until the new year for prices to go a bit more back to normal x
I’m so sorry to hear that Debbie, it’s not your fault at all for being trusting of other people! Don’t let it dishearten you from finding a pup, there are plenty of good breeders out there 💙
Hi Ryan! It feels like a lifetime ago when Bailey was a little biter but you can see it in our earlier videos (I think in one of them you can see all the marks on my hands aha) I'd really recommend you watch the Zak George videos, they're really helpful. As mouthing is their way of interacting with the world around them I think it's best to direct the energy to a toy rather than your hands, you can also try yelping to show that you're hurt like they would or time outs, it just depends on what's best for you and your pup! He will grow out of it eventually so try not to worry!x
*i* *also* *recommend* omm only *puppiesnationpug* they got all kinds of *puppies* you need and it will definitely be delivered to your doorstep without no *issues*
A good breeder will never ask for a deposit before they have met you because a good breeder is very particular where the puppies are going and do not just let anyone buy there puppies.
Thanks Sophie! Gumtree probably doesn’t have the best reputation, same as Pets4homes, but I don’t see the problem with either as long as you’re careful:)
Tanya Suggs Hi Tanya, I think it does vary by place although I would always recommend having it done:) a phone call to a local vet could quickly tell you x
The KC rule is 1 litter a year and mothers should stop breeding by the age of 8 so that she is not exhausted. So if she’s 3 and this is her second litter that’s perfectly fine under dog breeding guidelines/ laws.
Legally speaking it’s fine but I think it depends where it sits with you ethically too. I personally think breeding at 1 years old is too young, I think a breeder should wait until 18 months at least which is law in some places (although I know things vary on an individual level) You’ll get a feel when you meet breeders if they have the dog’s best interests in mind but it’s worth being aware of
@@vickyandbailey5840 oh yes I stand with you on that one. My Cavalier did not have puppies until she was 2 years old! With a years break I think a dog could have 5-6 litters only if she is up to it and takes it well every time. Of course I know plenty of breeders that do it for the money, you can feel it when you are speaking to them and that’s when you should say no thank you :)
Got my *daughter* her lovely pup from *puppiesnationpug* on *IG* it’s so lovely chatting with her, she delivered the pup to my doorstep herself I also introduced most of my friends to her and they all told me how caring she was with all of them
It’s been 3 months have been looking to adopt a puppy until my co-worker introduced me to *puppiesnationpug* on *instagram* she was so honest with me And my pup got delivered after 3 days
Is it bad if a breeder doesn’t spell right or misses words I’m not being rude but wouldn’t u take time to write it bc some didn’t make sense so a bit sus (not trying to judge people jsut wondering)🤷🏻♀️
In a nutshell supply and demand. Bailey is a selectively bred dog from two pedigrees with the same vet bills as any mainstream breed. The cross breed is liked for the friendly nature, non shedding hypoallergenic coat and superior health from diversifying genetics. Not sure how this comment was meant to come across but it’s pretty obvious from my view...
@@brucemcaleney5241 even at shelters dogs cost more than that, yes there’s some greed involved but I don’t know how you can place such little value on a life. I’ve never seen a dog for sale cheaper than a hamster?
@@vickyandbailey5840 Sorry but as hard as it seems to believe, that is how easy to get them, Free ! usually. There were stray dogs on every street, there was no chip & pin ETC, they were a absolute nuisance, it was not unusual to be attacked on a regular basis, also the streets were littered with dog mess. But it was the easiest way to get a child a puppy, they would be often advertised in shop windows entitled Mongrel's free to good home or £5 each. And as hard as it is to hear, a huge majority of them "if not let loose" usually ended up in a sack in a river. Growing up, i cannot remember any dogs in our household but then it was a big Family ! Don't get me wrong i don't dislike dogs and have one now (black Lab) which has almost turned white. I got it years ago for the kids. Although i wished i had'nt bought it now due to having swept the hairs from our wooden floors about 50,000 times, and picking up 3 Tonne of dog mess, and despite the lack of interest my children take in him now they are older, i cannot just have him put down. Even though i never let myself get emotionally attached to Dogs or Cats ETC like my Wife does, it is a big commitment that our Family doesn't give up on. But as for Dogs, i just think they should be kept to their own breeds, like birds, i guess that will be the next thing we will start seeing, a budgarrot or a parrudgie ETC.Whether it be an Animal or Antique it is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. I grant you it has made people take more time to care for the litters but lets be real ! In a lot of cases, it is the pure greed that makes them take that care. But Hey Ho, if people want to spend their money on Mongrels thats their business, i seriously wouldn't have a labradoodle or any other crossbreed as a gift. Each to their own i guess
Are you seriously asking breeders to offer their driver's license for a stranger to see? Ever heard of identity theft? And there are people who are honest who don't know how to start a video chat. And the average range of cost has nothing to do with a breeder being for real! It is what they do with the puppies to make them better puppies that matters. Most breeders place puppies in an exercise pen lined with newspaper. What do puppies learn from that? Nothing. Stupid puppies turn into stupid dogs. Think about what type of puppy you would want?
Hi I’m not sure what the end of your comment is referring to but as a general rule we are living in unprecedented times and a quality breeder should do everything they can to help buyers. This video was also filmed during the peak of the first U.K. lockdown where restrictions meant that it was near impossible for potential owners to see puppies in person. In an ideal world we wouldn’t need to do any of this but the video offers ideas and suggestions on how to ensure you are dealing with genuine breeders and won’t be scammed - which nobody wants and is a substantial problem at the moment! Some people might not be able to video call but it is a very common thing as it’s rare to have a phone or laptop without a camera. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything they aren’t comfortable with but this video has helped a lot of people and I stand by the advice I have offered. Identity theft isn’t much of a problem at all where I live so I wouldn’t be able to comment but I’m not implying for you to ask for a scanned copy of the details either!
The way Bailey is just looking at the camera in the beginning!! What a handsome boy

Brilliant video, really informative. Looking to get a cavapoo but due to current situation they are really, really popular and are snapped up quickly. Thank you for highlighting the scammers too, some ads I've seen seem too good to be true. Will keep looking and look forward to more videos. Bailey is such a sweetie ☺️
Thank you so much! It can be really tricky at the moment but things should calm down again:) The best thing to do is to stay patient, we’ll be back with another soon💙
thank you! my cavapoo has benefitted muchly from your channel
im getting a cavapoo in 2 weeks can't wait, thanks for the awesome/helpful videos!
Thank you!💙🐾
@@vickyandbailey5840 now im getting her today, lol
Where did you get the pup, can you give me the breeder?
Omg my heart is melting what a beautiful furbaby 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I want one he is the cutest, look at that face. Awwww
Thanks so much🥰
Thanks for this video i have been watching you since day one and have been looking for a cavapoo or a mini goldendoodle for 3 years. We have asked these questions before so thanks for spreading awareness
Thank you this is why we've made the video! Good luck with your search, there are plenty of great breeders out there but some always spoil it!x
We paid for our cavapoo for only $300 and the sellar was super nice! This video is really helpful
what’s the breeder?
which breeder? can you link them??
Hi Vicky I've had my cavapoo for four months now and I've been watching you since I love your videos keep up the good work
Mylie Eaton Thank you so much! It’s lovely to hear:)
Great advice. I'm looking for a Cavapoo puppy, and have been doing a lot of homework to make sure I know everything about them. I fell in love with one a couple of years ago, and now feel the time is right for me, but unfortunately I think I have left it a bit late, with what is happening with us all with COVID 19. I think it will probably be next year before I get one, due to the high demand they seem to have, and also this will give me more time to find a reputable breeder. Just one question. Bailey is adorable, though looks quite big on screen he he standard size? I'm hoping to get a smaller dog as I live in a flat, though right beside woods where everyone walks their dogs.
Dawn Gyles thanks Dawn:) At the moment I agree that it’d be better to wait until the new year as the prices are pretty crazy! Bailey’s quite big for the breed but there’s major depth of field when he’s looking into the camera - most of the time he is standing on my knee and leaning into the camera which makes him look a lot bigger than he is:) he weighs 10 kilos and his head is about knee height on me (5”7), I’d say he’s mostly legs too!
@@vickyandbailey5840 Thank you, that does explain things.
I've now signed up to Borrow My Doggy, and there are a few Cavapoos, so I've volunteered just for one.......so far.....
Dawn Gyles no problem! I used the site too and looked after my neighbour’s dog for a while before we got Bailey:)
@@vickyandbailey5840 I've now got two Cockapoos to walk and play with, they are lovely too, but my heart has gone to Cavapoos
19 Local Breeders here in Lawrenceville, GA have cavapoos for about $3,500 to $4,100 and miniature schnauzers
We paid $750 for Tanji as this was before they became so popular. Cavoodles now in Australia are between $4000 and $7000 which is pretty ridiculous. I don't think the cost changes regardless if they are Standard, Miniature and Toy.
Your story is likely about to be mine! I lost a Shih Tzu/Poodle beginning of this month and apparently I need the companionship because I’m going to look at a Cavapoo Saturday! A turn of events considering I thought I’d be waiting for Poovanese in March. But that fell through and there’s now this option 😀❤️🐶
Everything I hear about this breeder is reputable and she’s been kind to keep me informed. And offered my deposit back since the Poovanese didn’t work out.
Ah I’m sorry for your loss, I hope it goes well for you, we really couldn’t cope without a four legged friend! Cavapoos are lovely dogs, I couldn’t recommend the breed enough💙🐾
Might be a good idea to explain the difference between size as people could purchase a miniature thinking it is small and find it grown bigger than they expecte. The toy is the smaller but still a good size t about 36 inches
All puppies were being sold for $500.00 for their anniversary sale. They had dogs in Austrailia,,California, Pennsylvania etc. After they said her ticket had been scanned, they wanted another $1200 or $1500.00 that's when I said no more money, that was not in our agreement.
The dislike must be a scammer😂 Love this video I’m sure it will help a lot of people, scary how often this happens!
Nicole James thank you! Fingers crossed it helps people avoid the scammers💜
This video was super helpful! Thanks so much Vicky 🐶
Maybe in a year or so the prices will go down, but in Australia the current rate for a. Cavoodle is between $4,000 and $6000 AUD. That's between 2,100 and 3,100 pounds.This is even with reputable breeders and there's no way around this. Maybe, MAYBE the price will go down after lockdown is over, but I'd say breeders will be used to getting this price and it's now become the new standard. This is highway robbery, but that's what people are prepared to pay. They're also often selling puppies without parent health testing however they almost always have microchips and vet checks. People, including reputable breeders, are basically greedy. I feel sad that so few people seem concerned about the dogs themselves in Australia.
Jennifer it’s disappointing to hear that:( I don’t know many people from Australia/ know about the prices there so I didn’t want to comment and potentially mislead anyone, I think it’s quite shocking that people are charging these amounts, I think it’s also surprising how many people are paying it. It’s a shame because some families are being priced out of the breed and many will just breed the dogs for profit like you’ve said. There might be an Australian Cavapoo community which you could join, our UK group lists some reputable breeders on there so that could be a good route. From checking today I’ve seen sable Cavapoos listed at £3,500 in the UK which have always been the cheapest, it’s just a shame. After this settles it’s quite likely that there will be young dogs who need to be rehomed when peoples’ lifestyles change again so keep an eye on shelters!
I love Bailey. He’s so cute.
One VERY RED FLAG is when the seller is asking for payment by Bitcoin or gift cards (Amazon, ebay, Walmart, etc.) instead of accepting PayPal. These are invariably scams.
Hello quick question! I have a cavapoo / cavachon and i was wondering what you feed yours? Mine just turned a year old so it’s time
For dog food! Thanks!!
Jose Hernandez Bailey eats Eukanuba 💙
Hi Vicky. I love your channel. I plan to get an apricot colored cavapoochon. Did your pups color change?
Tanya Suggs thank you! Bailey has gone lighter but I think he’s kept his redness, fading is very common in the breed due to a gene in the poodle:) I think Bailey also goes lighter in the sun and darkens again in winter x
Thank you Vicky. I will do that.
Sorry I replied to the wrong message. Lol I will check with the vet about the chip, and thanks for the information regarding color change. I can’t wait to get my cavapoochon in July.
Hi Vicky. I’m in the states. Could you give be me a referral for a cavapoo. Are you in the states also. I’m having a really hard time between the time it would be for waiting lists and the inflated cost to 4 and 5,000 be a increased sales from covid🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😢
Is it like bad also if it’s rlly cheap if no issues with the dog?
I have a Labradoodle She is 11 months old and I’m desperate to get a Cavapoo I want one that is red with like a rock white stripe down the middle I’ve seen them on online ads but I don’t know what I should pay for them so do you have any Idea how much I should pay
Thank you for the info, Vicky, very helpful! :)
Hi thanks so much for sharing all your wealth of knowledge. I'm a 60 year old lady and my partner has died recently and my adult son has moved out too. All my friends have dogs and have recommend I get one too. Of course I wouldn't get one without doing tons of research to make sure I would be a good owner and to find a breed that would suit me . I am just about to sell my home ( as there is just too much sadness and pain here in my cottage now) So I wouldn't buy a puppy until I get my new home obviously. But I do think ( having searched a read etc) a cock a poo may be the doggy for me . I too live up North, the North West to be exact but all the puppies I have seen have been mostly priced around 2 to 3 K 🤷♀️ I havent seen many in the price bracket your kinda saying? Do you think they have shot up in price in the last few months? Do you think I would be ok as a novice owner with one of this breed ? Thanks again Sue x
I want a cavapoo soooo bad but my dad likes cocker spaniels more ;((( so sad. Cavapoos are the cutest dog alive i dont care what anyone says!! 🥰😝😁 This vid is amazing helps alot! Thank you keep it up 👍🏻
Both are amazing breeds ♥
Have you considered a Cockapoo?
@@justapotato1176 yes we have. Struggling to decide which one is best for our type of lifestyle!!
In Australia Cavoodles cost from $5,000 to $7,000. I’m hoping to get an F1 cavoodle soon. Bailey is so cute.
We are looking at getting a cavoodle here in aus! The best two ads we could find (without having to travel too much) was for about $5000-$6000! Is that too much to pay?
MrMhupk it depends on who you are really, it’s an individual choice on what’s right for you - your budget, time of your life etc. It might be the case that this is the absolute best time for you to get a dog and waiting 6 months isn’t an option! I personally think it’s a lot to pay and I would strongly advise waiting (it’s around 3 times what we paid for Bailey) but we’re in unprecedented times and it’s exactly that - a personal choice:) I think because you’re looking into prices you might already think it’s a bit much to pay but it’s just a choice you have to make💙 Make sure you don’t pay until you’ve seen them in person and good luck in your search!x
Vicky and Bailey ok thx for your advice! Much appreciated
We brought home our little Cavapoo on 06/08/20 and boy she is a cutie. Our daughter bought one from the same breeder a year ago for $625. We paid $1,200 and found that the breeder was one of the lowest-priced breeders in Ohio. She actually increased her prices because the other breeders were so much higher in price. She sold 5 Cavapoos and 5 King Charles Cavaliers in less than 6 hours, they were born on the same day. Most other breeders are and selling them for $1900-$3500 in Ohio.
What breeder is this? I live in Ohio and I’m currently looking for a cavapoo breeder
@konaok1
@@daniellemichelle8320 Buckeye Puppies may have additional listing. But our breeder sold out in 6 hours.
It can be really tricky to find them at the moment but they’re out there! Congratulations on your pup!💜
konaok1 thank you
I got scam by sum people and they said it cost 850 can you tell me how much you paid or what’s the amount of a Cavapoo ?
Getting a Cavapoo in 2 weeks. What sizes of beds and that did you get? And where do you get most of your dog stuff
Mya Christie congratulations! Bailey’s bed is a size medium I believe, we get his things from a lot of different shops so we don’t really have a preference and lots of products are available on Amazon. Pets at home have large ranges if you’re looking for inspiration:) his first harness was from Puppia and his big boy harness is from JuliusK9
just bought one for £2500, hope I don't get scammed
Kian Songra thanks for commenting:) There are lots of genuine people out there so I hope I haven’t alarmed you! I just want to make sure people are aware, best of luck!💙

I’ve just recently bought a cavapoo and he is copper and white colour! He was 1200 xx
Ah amazing, congratulations on your new pup!🐾
Casey where did you purchase your cavapoo and are you in the states
Is Bailey a F1 or F1b ? I would love one with same hair as like Bailey, thank you
I want a cavapoo for 5 years do you have any good places to get one that are not too overpriced
Meet my crazy Life to be honest I’m not sure at the moment! For a while I’ve recommended looking into Raffles but I’ve recently seen some poor reviews for there too:( I’d recommend waiting until the new year for prices to go a bit more back to normal x
Sadly i got scammed for a cavapoo last week. Im normally so careful, but fell hook line and sinker.
I’m so sorry to hear that Debbie, it’s not your fault at all for being trusting of other people! Don’t let it dishearten you from finding a pup, there are plenty of good breeders out there 💙
@@vickyandbailey5840 hi there, thank you, im still on the look out for a fur baby, but shall wait a while.
So many of the cavapoos r cute on Pets4Homes but like mainly 3.5k
Canada. Your dog is so much cooler and relaxed compared to those nasty full terrier breeds
Thank you! He’s a very good boy😇
Hi Vicky I have a 3 month old cavapoo he is teething badly do you have any advice ?
Hi Ryan! It feels like a lifetime ago when Bailey was a little biter but you can see it in our earlier videos (I think in one of them you can see all the marks on my hands aha) I'd really recommend you watch the Zak George videos, they're really helpful. As mouthing is their way of interacting with the world around them I think it's best to direct the energy to a toy rather than your hands, you can also try yelping to show that you're hurt like they would or time outs, it just depends on what's best for you and your pup! He will grow out of it eventually so try not to worry!x
Thank you so much great advice
hey vicky how come there was no video last week love you both stay safe
never mind love the video naughty bailey lol knocking a drink over
Haha unfortunately we had some technical difficulties alongside my deadlines!😂
*i* *also* *recommend* omm only *puppiesnationpug* they got all kinds of *puppies* you need and it will definitely be delivered to your doorstep without no *issues*
A good breeder will never ask for a deposit before they have met you because a good breeder is very particular where the puppies are going and do not just let anyone buy there puppies.
Is gumtree a good place to look?
P.s love your vids!💕
Thanks Sophie! Gumtree probably doesn’t have the best reputation, same as Pets4homes, but I don’t see the problem with either as long as you’re careful:)
Vicky and Bailey thank you so much for replying! I will make sure we are careful :))
Is microchip requirements vary by country? I’m in the USA.
Tanya Suggs Hi Tanya, I think it does vary by place although I would always recommend having it done:) a phone call to a local vet could quickly tell you x
The KC rule is 1 litter a year and mothers should stop breeding by the age of 8 so that she is not exhausted. So if she’s 3 and this is her second litter that’s perfectly fine under dog breeding guidelines/ laws.
Legally speaking it’s fine but I think it depends where it sits with you ethically too. I personally think breeding at 1 years old is too young, I think a breeder should wait until 18 months at least which is law in some places (although I know things vary on an individual level) You’ll get a feel when you meet breeders if they have the dog’s best interests in mind but it’s worth being aware of
@@vickyandbailey5840 oh yes I stand with you on that one. My Cavalier did not have puppies until she was 2 years old! With a years break I think a dog could have 5-6 litters only if she is up to it and takes it well every time. Of course I know plenty of breeders that do it for the money, you can feel it when you are speaking to them and that’s when you should say no thank you :)
Got my *daughter* her lovely pup from *puppiesnationpug* on *IG* it’s so lovely chatting with her, she delivered the pup to my doorstep herself I also introduced most of my friends to her and they all told me how caring she was with all of them
I would love it if you were to slow down a bit while speaking. I had to watch a couple of times to catch it all. Great info.
your dog is so cute and your so pretty but just saying i think you forgot to blink
Hahahaha thank you and sorry😂
can you recomend some dog breeders to me, i need to get a mini schnauzer.
What a lovely baby you have!Absolutely gorgeous. CAN YOU GIVE A CUDDLE TO HIM FOR ME
Aw thank you so much, he’s absolutely lovely🥰🐾
does anyone have links of their breeder of a cavapoo??
how much does he weight? and how big is he?
I’m in the U.S.. what are pounds?!
UK currency
Good info
We paid 5k!!,
That’s so much!! Hope it was worth it tho, I’m sure it was😊
Can someone pls tell me if 4,000$ too expensive for a baby cavapoo? 🥺🥺
In my opinion I do believe it is overpriced but it really depends
Is a cavapoo and a cockapoo the same?
It’s been 3 months have been looking to adopt a puppy until my co-worker introduced me to *puppiesnationpug* on *instagram* she was so honest with me And my pup got delivered after 3 days
How much does bailey weigh
£950 some older puppies r like 4K godddddd
That's a BIG Cavapoo
My cavapoo is called bailey too 🥺
Is it bad if a breeder doesn’t spell right or misses words I’m not being rude but wouldn’t u take time to write it bc some didn’t make sense so a bit sus (not trying to judge people jsut wondering)🤷🏻♀️
Bailey is smexy I’m dying for a Cavapoo but I want one that doesn’t shed like f1b
How did this scam begin, years ago you could have bought crossbreeds for a fiver or even free.
In a nutshell supply and demand. Bailey is a selectively bred dog from two pedigrees with the same vet bills as any mainstream breed. The cross breed is liked for the friendly nature, non shedding hypoallergenic coat and superior health from diversifying genetics. Not sure how this comment was meant to come across but it’s pretty obvious from my view...
@@vickyandbailey5840 But you could have got one for a fiver years ago before this greed began.
I bet you wouldn't say no to that.
@@brucemcaleney5241 even at shelters dogs cost more than that, yes there’s some greed involved but I don’t know how you can place such little value on a life. I’ve never seen a dog for sale cheaper than a hamster?
@@vickyandbailey5840 Sorry but as hard as it seems to believe, that is how easy to get them, Free ! usually.
There were stray dogs on every street, there was no chip & pin ETC, they were a absolute nuisance, it was not unusual to be attacked on a regular basis, also the streets were littered with dog mess.
But it was the easiest way to get a child a puppy, they would be often advertised in shop windows entitled Mongrel's free to good home or £5 each.
And as hard as it is to hear, a huge majority of them "if not let loose" usually ended up in a sack in a river.
Growing up, i cannot remember any dogs in our household but then it was a big Family ! Don't get me wrong i don't dislike dogs and have one now (black Lab) which has almost turned white.
I got it years ago for the kids.
Although i wished i had'nt bought it now due to having swept the hairs from our wooden floors about 50,000 times, and picking up 3 Tonne of dog mess, and despite the lack of interest my children take in him now they are older, i cannot just have him put down.
Even though i never let myself get emotionally attached to Dogs or Cats ETC like my Wife does, it is a big commitment that our Family doesn't give up on.
But as for Dogs, i just think they should be kept to their own breeds, like birds, i guess that will be the next thing we will start seeing, a budgarrot or a parrudgie ETC.Whether it be an Animal or Antique it is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.
I grant you it has made people take more time to care for the litters but lets be real ! In a lot of cases, it is the pure greed that makes them take that care.
But Hey Ho, if people want to spend their money on Mongrels thats their business, i seriously wouldn't have a labradoodle or any other crossbreed as a gift.
Each to their own i guess
I got a cavapoo 😍😍
Where I’ve been looking, what was the breeder?
@@dulcemaria5258 same
I have a cavapoo btw I love bailey and your vids
Thank you!💙
Are you seriously asking breeders to offer their driver's license for a stranger to see? Ever heard of identity theft? And there are people who are honest who don't know how to start a video chat. And the average range of cost has nothing to do with a breeder being for real! It is what they do with the puppies to make them better puppies that matters. Most breeders place puppies in an exercise pen lined with newspaper. What do puppies learn from that? Nothing. Stupid puppies turn into stupid dogs. Think about what type of puppy you would want?
Hi I’m not sure what the end of your comment is referring to but as a general rule we are living in unprecedented times and a quality breeder should do everything they can to help buyers. This video was also filmed during the peak of the first U.K. lockdown where restrictions meant that it was near impossible for potential owners to see puppies in person. In an ideal world we wouldn’t need to do any of this but the video offers ideas and suggestions on how to ensure you are dealing with genuine breeders and won’t be scammed - which nobody wants and is a substantial problem at the moment!
Some people might not be able to video call but it is a very common thing as it’s rare to have a phone or laptop without a camera. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything they aren’t comfortable with but this video has helped a lot of people and I stand by the advice I have offered. Identity theft isn’t much of a problem at all where I live so I wouldn’t be able to comment but I’m not implying for you to ask for a scanned copy of the details either!
