If someone were to tell me that I have a resource guarding case, and I had to place a bet on what type of dog it would be, I would bet on a Cockerpoo. Whilst resource guarding can happen in any breed of dog, it’s Cockerpoo’s that I see cropping up time and time again, with issues beginning around 4 months old and becoming severe by about 6 to 8 months. So why is this supposedly perfect family pet so prone to this kind of issue? Why does it start so early, and what can you do about it?
