We’ll also share some essential tips for diving headfirst into the world of dog ownership.
So, let’s unleash your inner dog lover and fetch some helpful info!
What Dogs Are Available at Pets This Spring?
Some gorgeous ones, we’ll tell you that for nothing!
German Shepherds
Let’s kick off with the ever-faithful German Shepherd, or as we like to call them, the “Fur-midable Protectors!”
These intelligent and loyal dogs are beloved for excelling as family pets and working dogs. They are strong, agile, and oh-so-affectionate.
Just don’t expect them to fit in your purse!
If you’re on the lookout for a courageous companion who’s always got your back (and your front, and your sides), then a German Shepherd might be your perfect match.
Whippets
Next up, we have the Whippet, which we like to call the “Pocket Rocket” for its small size and incredible speed.
These graceful, slender dogs are perfect for those seeking a more petite and agile companion. Bonus points for their low-shedding coat, which means less time vacuuming and more time cuddling!
Cavapoos
Cavapoos, or “Cuddly Clouds”, are a charming designer breed created by crossing a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a Poodle. Their irresistibly cute appearance, coupled with a loving personality and hypoallergenic qualities, make Cavapoos a favourite among dog lovers.
And yes, they’re as soft as they look!
Cockapoos
Last but not least, let’s talk about Cockapoos, or “Cocka-doodle-adorable!”
These playful pups are another designer breed, created by crossing a Cocker Spaniel with a Poodle. Similar to their Cavapoo cousins, Cockapoos are friendly, low-shedding, and perfect for allergy sufferers.
For those struggling to decide between a Cavapoo and a Cockapoo, we say, “Why not get both?” Just kidding!

Top Tips for Getting Started on Getting a Dog
Before you sprint off to find your new furry family member, take a moment to paws and consider the following tips:
- Research, research, research! Each breed has unique needs and requirements, so make sure you’re well-prepared to provide the best life for your new pup.
- Puppy-proof your home and get your family on board. Remember, a puppy isn’t just for Christmas; it’s for life.
- Choose a reputable breeder or rescue organisation. A responsible breeder (like us here at Pets!) always prioritises the health and well-being of their puppies, while a rescue organisation can help match you with the perfect pup in need of a loving home.
- Stock up on essential supplies like food, toys, bedding, and grooming tools. Your puppy’s first days in its new home should be as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
- Seek out resources for new dog owners, such as books, websites, or local training classes. A well-informed owner makes for a happier, healthier pup!
Conclusion
Now that you’re familiar with the delightful German Shepherds, Whippets, Cavapoos, and Cockapoos available this April, it’s time to embark on the exciting journey of dog ownership.
Remember to take the time to research, prepare, and educate yourself before welcoming your new best friend into your home.
Embrace the adventure, and you’ll soon find that life is simply better with a wagging tail by your side.
