Little Dot - coming Home and the first week!! PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION!

Well we watched enough "training videos" about Cavapoos and "separation anxiety" so felt we were as ready as we could be. It all seems so sad when a puppy has to leave its mother at 8 weeks but thats the norm and we are determined to give Little Dot or "Dotty" the loving but structured and rule based live that will allow her to enjoy life to the full in our house.
First off she has to have a crate and pen - and she will learn to love the crate - she will eat in there, we will play some games in there and it will be her quiet place. Cavapoos can't hold their bladder until they are about 20 weeks so we are using puppy mats at night which she used, immediately from Day 1 - what a great Breeder? But during the day we are watching her carefully and in 2 weeks have only had one little accident - the remainder of the number 1s and 2s are outside on the grass but the poor little bugger hates the rain - don't we all!!
Food - we have slightly adjusted what the breeder recommended and she is wolfing it back. We are determined not to share our own food with her - a mistake we made with our old dog, Gladys. You make a rod for your own back and can't take them anywhere without begging.
Play she is already going nuts, charging around the house sp we have now put her on a trailing lead so we can catch up with her - she loves her squeaky squirrel the most!
The biggest problem we had was her reaction to the vaccination - she was very VERY lethargic to the point that even the vet was worried about her when we took her back - but not so worried that they didn't slam in another £41 charge for the extra consultation!! We have not yet made our mind up on which vets to use.

Hi, I’m in Florida. You have a very cute and nice puppy. Great breeder, too. Good that you’re training her. Your rewards will be ten fold. We have a regular Cavalier King Charles, Winston. He’s nine already, I can’t believe how the time flys. Nice doggos. ❤❤

Thank you for posting this,it warms my heart. I have two fur babies and the joy and laughter they bring is wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness she’s adorable. You can tell she’s shy. I would be holding her close in my arms and giving her a kiss and petting her. She’s absolutely adorable gorgeous little puppy. Oh I love love her.🥰😘💕😍

[@karenlehn2351]

Dried kibbles,are absent of good nutrition . They are processed at high temps,kills the benefits for good health. I would suggest fresh natural food,while she’s growing so fast . She’s so very lucky to have you both.

Little Dot is absolutely gorgeous. What joy she will bring to your family. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your little Dot with us. Will look forward to seeing more of her. She is so sweet! I love the tail! ❤❤❤

[@Brooksfam-th8ld]

Hello from the small town of Whaleyville in southeastern Virginia USA. Congratulations on finding your beautiful little Dot. My husband and I are 70 and 71 and just got a sweet crazy 11 week old Morkie. Family and friends think we’re nuts to start over with a new puppy now. We also have 12 and 13 year Shih tzus. We named our little guy Finley because we picked him up on Saint Patrick’s day. Just subscribed 😄

[@BeKindCB]

Dot is adorable! Thanks for sharing this sweet puppy.❤

[@frantucker608]

Your new doggie is purely adorable! I wish you many happy years together!

[@user-vk4vw4le1c]

Oh my goodness she’s absolutely beautiful. That little tail going. She’s very happy. She knows she’s loved.🥰💕

[@jennifera4350]

She is so adorable. I love how fast her little tail wags. Amazing how fast she was potty trained! That has to be a record. She loves playing with your daughter and son. But your son needs some education on how to play with her!! She is growing so fast!!

[@lindaables7492]

She is a doll. Thank you for the sweet video. Look forward to more news from Little Dot.. Linda in Georgia USA..

[@averilstyles1020]

Hello Rob and Beverly, thank you so much for setting up your videos to follow the progress of your precious Dotty, we too are the very proud parents to be of a Cavapoo puppy, he is two weeks old today so we have to be patient for another 6 weeks before we can begin sharing our life with him. We too lost our devoted little dog last July and find it quite unbearable not sharing our lives with the unconditional love a dog brings. We look forward to more instalments! Dotty is absolutely adorable and it is so heart warming to see you both looking so besotted and very happy. Averil

[@RobLittleuk]

Averil thanks so much for your comment and, like us before Christmas, we knew Little Dot was on the way and we were very excited. Soon you should be able to see him!! We are having fun with her - as I write this she is 11 weeks old, has her second jab next monday and the following week we can take her out. She is ready to go out and discover the world. She is also a little monkey - very bright but the signs are good with no trouble leaving her overnight and two consecutive "dry and clean" nights - not bad for 11 weeks. She does her business outside in the garden. Keep in touch - I will try to publish something every 2 weeks or so!

[@tamaramorton8812]

She’s as cute as she can be. I’m planning on getting a dog pretty soon but until then, I have to be content with watching videos with dogs. Thanks for sharing. She’s adorable.

[@pambeni5635]

A responsible pet parent will crate train their puppy. Little Dot is fine and happy in her crate. What would happen if there was a fire while they were out? Firemen would be able to locate her and get her out. They can get into so much mischief while they are alone! Being in a crate sure does keep them safe.

[@tofueater47]

Thank you, that was so useful. Not collecting my puppy till May, but it was reassuring to see that the first couple of weeks aren't too difficult.

[@LittleDot-CavaPoo]

.....mind you will notice the difference in life !!

[@nancyjohnson5810]

I never after having 2 sick dogs for a week after their rabies vaccination I NEVER ever got them vaccinated again. They are rarely ever around other dogs anyway. Little Dot is so adorable. I saw a stuffed dog that was a perfect companion for a puppy as it breathed and it's stomach moved up and down as it breathed, imitating how comforting it was for the puppy to curl up with as it would sleep. I would myself rub the stuffed dog all over the puppy's mother and get as much of the smell of mama all over the stuffy dog. Making the transition less painful for the puppy. I've also heard that the longer a puppy is with it's mother the better since they are learning so much from mama. I think around 12 weeks is a good time to get a puppy.

[@debschieve3468]

Congrats on little Dottie, she's beautiful. I would like to recommend a wonderful book that could give you some suggestions regarding food and vaccination for puppies. The book is called From Needles to Natural, by Dr Judy Morgan, DVM. She explains the hazards of vaccines, especially for little dogs. I have no connection with her, but I have watched her on KZbin and I am reading the book in preparation for getting our little puppy, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. She will be tiny like Dottie. Dr Morgan explains the issues with vets giving more vaccines than are really necessary. Just food for thought. The book also will tell you a lot about the problems with feeding dry kibble. Best wishes for you and Dottie. She is making amazing progress on training already.

Yes indeed we are focusing on the nipping at the moment and the "zoomies" - see in the next video. But she is very sweet, characterful and clever !!

Your little Dot is adorable!! From one Dottie to another Dotty, enjoy your new home little one. It looks like you have a wonderful Mum & Dad!! Congrats from Dottie H. in the USA!! 🐕🐶

[@micheleeve6054]

Good luck with your new little dog. An eight week ol puppy is a little early , although legal, to leave its Mother. Some breeders wait wait until the puppy is 12 weeks old. During this developmental stage, the brain is rabidly developing, and the dog is impressionable and ideal for training.. Waiting until a puppy is at least 12 weeks old enables puppies to learn from their litter mates and socialize. Much happiness with Dottie. Would you consider resear thing for a new Vet?

[@ejames6431]

so cute!

[@Sabina-lo8fv]

Very cute, be careful because some vets just need to make money so they find loopholes.

[@MaricelGaspar-yy3fm]

So cute❤. Need to play outside a little longee

[@kaymccormick2279]

Put her crate in your room at night and she will hear you breathing and be happy. Keep her crate in what ever room you are in with the door open and she will learn to love it and beg to go to bed

Hi Rob and Beverly. Your little Dot is so cute and full of life. What is it like being parents all over again. Hope you are getting use to the toe biting😂.she is definitely going to be enjoying life with you two. Sorry to hear about the reaction she had after having her injection. Hope it does not make her dislike going again. Catch up soon.

Fortunately the breeder was not far from us, in the Cotswolds!

[@user-vk4vw4le1c]

I really don’t like to give my dogs any them shots. I try to stairway from them shots as much as possible they can be very dangerous. I got three dogs and they haven’t had no shots and I don’t want them to have any of them shots. She is absolutely beautiful.

[@rainbowfox1934]

I have never found one good reason to crate train a dog or cat. My animals do not spend their time in jail. I can tell you are otherwise being kind to her.

[@kathleenbrown6734]

make her food and she will be healthy forever. dog food that is processed is not good for dogs or cats.

Rescue don't buy.

[@sandrahedley1866]

Not everyone is confident enough to rescue , if you are used to dogs and experienced then yes , rescue is the way to go , my first dog was 2 years old ,a rescue , seemed lovely at first but had to go back after 7 months , he bit 4 different people and I almost got prosecuted . Tried everything , was very traumatic ,my son [13 at the time ] never forgave me for giving him up .

[@kathyian1]

I have had many rescue and in 2020 we had registered to rescue again. No rescue we contacted had a small dog. Then came Covid and they all closed. In the April spotted an ad for 4 toy poodle puppies. We went and pick out our little girl. We brought her home in the July and she is the best thing we have ever done. Love her to bits and she is perfect.

[@mollymac8678]

@@sandrahedley1866we’ve had 2 dogs from rescue that were pups when we got them so no confidence is required as a pup is a pup wherever you get it from but every rescue dog is saving 2 dogs cos you’re making a new space in the rescue for a new dog to be helped..
