A Cavapoo is a mix between a Poodle and a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Cavapoo and Mini Cavapoo Breed

A Cavapoo (aka Cavoodle or Cavadoodle) is a mix of a miniature Poodle (or toy Poodle) and a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Cavapoo puppies are wonderful with children, they seldom meet a stranger and love being with people. Cavapoos are some of the most calm of all Doodle varieties. They seldom bark, and they love to cuddle.

If you’re considering adding a Cavapoo to your family, it’s important to understand their unique traits and personalities. In this article, we’ll dive into the key characteristics of Cavapoos and what makes them such a lovable companion.

Appearance

One of the first things you’ll notice about Cavapoos is their charming appearance. Their soft, wavy coats can come in a variety of colors including golden, red, black, white, and tricolor. Their adorable floppy ears and expressive eyes make them hard to resist.

Cavapoos are considered a small breed, typically weighing between 12-25 pounds and standing at 9-14 inches tall. They have a sturdy build with a compact body, making them great for apartment living or smaller homes.

Temperament

Cavapoos are known for their friendly and affectionate nature, which makes them the perfect companion. They thrive on human interaction and are happiest when they’re spending time with their owners.

These dogs are also highly intelligent and easy to train, making them a great choice for first-time dog owners. They have a gentle disposition and get along well with children, other pets, and even strangers.

Energy Level

Cavapoos have a moderate energy level and are happy with daily walks and playtime. They can adapt to different lifestyles, whether you’re an active individual or prefer a more relaxed lifestyle.

However, it’s important to note that Cavapoos are prone to separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. They thrive on attention and can become destructive when bored or lonely.

Health

As with any breed, Cavapoos can inherit certain health issues from their parent breeds. However, they are generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12-14 years.

Some common health concerns for Cavapoos include hip dysplasia, eye problems, and ear infections. It’s essential to maintain regular vet check-ups and stay on top of their grooming needs to keep them happy and healthy.

Training and Exercise

Cavapoos are intelligent dogs that are eager to please, making training a relatively easy task. Positive reinforcement methods work best with this breed, as they respond well to praise and treats.

In terms of exercise, Cavapoos can adapt to various activity levels depending on their owner’s lifestyle. A daily walk and some playtime in the backyard are usually enough to keep these dogs happy and healthy.

However, it’s important not to over-exercise Cavapoos, as they can be prone to joint issues due to their small size.

Conclusion

Cavapoos are a delightful mix of two beloved breeds, making them an ideal companion for many families. Their friendly and affectionate nature, combined with their charming appearance, makes them hard to resist.

However, it’s crucial to understand the unique traits and needs of Cavapoos before adding one to your family. With proper care, training, and exercise, these lovable dogs will bring joy and companionship for many years to come. So if you’re looking for a loving and loyal furry friend, a Cavapoo may be the perfect addition to your family. Happy dog parenting!

Common Questions About Cavapoos

What is a Cavapoo?

A Cavapoo (aka Cavoodle or Cavadoodle) is a mix between a Poodle (or mini/toy Poodle) and a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Do Cavapoos shed?

Overall, Cavapoos are a great breed choice for those who suffer from pet allergies or who want to avoid the added mess of dog hair in their home, as they tend to be low-shedding and hypoallergenic. For those who deal with allergies, we encourage you to consider adopting a curly-coated pup.

Typically, the curlier the coat, the less shedding that pup will experience as an adult. However, it’s still important to brush them regularly to reduce any shedding and keep their coat looking healthy and beautiful. With a little extra care, you can enjoy the many benefits of owning a Cavapoo without worrying about shedding.

How big do Cavapoos get?

Generally, a Toy or Petite Mini Cavapoo tends to grow to be between 5-24 pounds, while a Traditional Mini Cavapoo tends to grow to be in the 25-40 pound range. Since each pup is a beautiful and unique blend of their genetics, these ranges are simply estimates and not guarantees.
