Meet the breeder

I'm Emily Z., the breeder behind Sugar and Spice Cockapoos located in Hopkins, SC. We are a small family-run business near Columbia, SC. Our Cockapoo puppies are born and raised in our home, loved and played with by our family and friends, and our goal is always to have them be happy and healthy family companions!

Q. & A. with Emily

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My grandparents raised Yorkies when my mother was a teenager, but we felt they were too small for many young children. After learning about Cockapoos, we adopted our first, and found the perfect fit! Ever since, I've loved raising our puppies and matching them each with families - sharing that wonderful Cockapoo love.

  • What makes your program special?

    We genetically test all of our parent dogs for PRA/PRCD, and bring them for CAER tests on a regular basis. We do genetic (DNA) testing, as well as having our vets perform patella/knee/OFA exams.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Emily was a pleasure to work with start to finish. It was abundantly clear from the start how invested she was in the health and well-being of her puppies, and how invested in the breed she was. I felt confident about the love and care she had put into her litters, and it has absolutely shown in my experience with my pup! He has the best temperament and people stop us on the street to compliment his attitude, confidence, and demeanor. He is an angel and I would absolutely recommend Emily to ANYONE!

    I am so glad I had the pleasure of adopting Ace from Emily. She quickly responded to all questions I had when I was in the process of looking for a pup. She is very knowledgeable about the breed and I can tell she truly cares for the pups. Our interaction has been nothing but positive throughout and even after I brought Ace home. I definitely would recommend her to family and friends.

    We have two wonderful dogs from Emily! We got Casper a little over 8 years ago and when we started looking around for a second puppy it was no question that we’d choose Sugar and Spice again! Emily clearly cares deeply for her litters and could not be more pleasant to interact with! Casper and Kiba have been such a blessing to our family

    I must share my love and gratitude for Dear Emily - Suger and spice Cockapoos :)! I found Emily on Good Dog website!  From our very first text exchange we had until I received my precious puppy - Shemesh , I had such a wonderful experience with her !! She was so responsive and knowledgeable.  Our first phone call was 40 min long, I believe. Just feeling the energy and exploring, figuring out if one of her wonderful puppies will be a good fit for me ,my lifestyle and will serve both the puppy and me in the best way . to make sure that he will have the best life !! The application process was wonderful. She answered all of my questions quickly, always kind , sweet and caring , always open and supportive!  Her husband kindly brought Shemesh to me on a flight to NY. The process was so smooth , secure , organized, communicative. Overall, I feel so grateful in my heart for meeting them, and for taking such good care of their furry babies. Shemesh came into my life at the most perfect time, and our bond just grows stronger and brighter every day. He is so loving,vibrant, healthy, happy, smart, funny and such a special soul!!  I’m so lucky to have him in my life, and to have met Emily, Suger and spice Cockapoos ! My experience was, and still is, 10 out of 10 !  We are still in touch, and checking in about Shemesh’s wellbeing and journey !   Thank you !!  Here are some photos of my little fluffy boy !!
