LLANDYSUL, Wales, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

A dog breeder celebrating a decade of breeding cockapoos in Wales this year has reported a record year in requests for cockapoo puppies in all colours.

In the last 12 months, Jandaz Cockapoos, based in Llandysul, Ceredigion, West Wales, has watched demand for cockapoo puppies in different colours increase by 25 per cent.

Joyful and endearing, the Cockapoo - a cross of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle - is the original 'designer dog' and is popular with celebrities. Dating back to the 1960s, the cockapoo is people-oriented, intelligent enough to train easily and hardly sheds.

Jandaz Cockapoos founder Janice Griffiths, who began breeding cockapoo puppies in 2004, said: "Cockapoos come in lots of colours and red or apricot has typically been the most popular. At Jandaz Cockapoos, we only breed American or English Show cockapoos and this year we've seen an increase of a quarter in requests made to us for a whole range of colours. This includes black, tan, beige, red, brown, sable, and a brown color with tipping and shading in black, cream, white, silver and brindle."

All Jandaz cockapoos are vaccinated three times, health checked, micro-chipped and wormed, and all cockapoo parents are eye tested and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) cleared. Jandaz Cockapoos has sold cockapoos all over the world including Europe and the Caribbean.

Jandaz Cockapoos customer Jane Slitting Mill said: "Our gorgeous boy Eli is now almost nine months old and already a big part of our family. He is a bonnie black and tan lad. We have been stopped by so many people who comment on how handsome he is."

Another Jandaz Cockapoos customer Mark Heater said: "Poppy is our bundle of joy and happiness. She has a pretty, shiny curly coat and amazing temperament. She loves people and other dogs, walks, toys and especially her ball!"

Jandaz Cockapoos has cockapoo puppies ready for July and August and anybody interested can register their interest and visit http://www.jandaz.co.uk for more information.
