Westipoo puppy FAQs

Quick answers to help families decide if the Westipoo is the right fit for their home.

What breeds do you offer?

We specialize in four hypoallergenic breeds: Cockapoos (Cocker Spaniel x Poodle, 15-20 lbs adult weight), Aussiedoodles (Australian Shepherd x Poodle, 25-40 lbs adult weight), Westipoos (West Highland White Terrier x Poodle, 15-25 lbs adult weight), and Petite Goldendoodles (Golden Retriever x Miniature Poodle, 15-25 lbs adult weight). All four breeds are known for their friendly temperaments and low-shedding coats.

Are your puppies hypoallergenic?

Yes, all our Cockapoos, Aussiedoodles, Westipoos, and Petite Goldendoodles are considered hypoallergenic breeds. They have low-shedding coats inherited from their Poodle parentage, making them excellent choices for families with allergies.

Do you breed Schnoodles or American Cocker Spaniels?

We specialize exclusively in Cockapoos, Aussiedoodles, Westipoos, and Petite Goldendoodles because these breeds offer the best combination of hypoallergenic coats, friendly temperaments, and manageable sizes for Atlantic Canadian families. While American Cocker Spaniels are one of our parent breeds, we do not sell purebred Cockers. If you're interested in Schnoodles, we recommend researching their higher grooming requirements and more active temperaments.
