The Cavapoo is a wonderful breed for the slower paced household, where snuggles are welcome after a leisurely walk in the park. Cavapoos are the smallest of the breeds we raise, but there’s a lot of loving, licks and wagging in any of our puppies. They are loyal and intelligent, and their goal in life is to please you.
Cavapoos love everyone – people, other dogs, even cats. So, they’ll happily fit in with a multi-pet family. But they’re sensitive, so go easy on rough and tumble play, especially when you first bring home your new puppy. Give them plenty of affectionate attention, and they’ll respond by becoming a sweet little family companion.
What Exactly is a Cavapoo?
The Cavapoo (also known as Cavoodle) is a small breed resulting from the combination of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. She gets her sweet disposition from the Cavalier and her intelligence (and curly coat) from the Poodle. Because she comes to you with ‘naturally curly hair’, shedding is minimal. Cavapoos can be classed as hypoallergenic. That means that their coat is allergy friendly.
Because your Cavapoo’s curls tend to trap the coat that does shed, she’ll need regular grooming. Gently brush and comb her, paying particular attention to her ears, fuzzy little face, and paws. Those areas are the first to develop mats, which are a hassle to remove and can be painful. Frequent, proper use of a slicker brush will result in healthy skin and a beautiful coat.

Are Cavapoos hypoallergenic?
The word hypoallergenic means that they are less likely to trigger allergies. All dogs shed to varying degrees. Cavapoos shed minimally, but don’t neglect their grooming. Frequent gentle brushing will keep them (and you) more comfortable.
How big do Cavapoos get?
Our adult dogs can range from 10 to 20 lb, depending on the size of the parents.
Are Cavapoos nervous?
That depends on how active your puppy is, coat type and length. Active dogs (swimming and running in woods) and those with long coats will need daily brushing. Even though he sheds much less, his coat will need more maintenance than a flat coat breed. If you want lower maintenance, keeping the coat short is a good idea!
Are Cavapoo puppies easy to potty train?
Smaller breeds can be a challenge to housebreak, compared to the bigger breeds. It’s a marathon, rather than a sprint. With consistency and praise, you’ll be successful.

What is a Cavapoo’s lifespan?
The average lifespan for a Cavapoo is 10 to 15 years.
My Problem with Ice Cream & Dogs
My husband always rolls his eyes when we go to get ice cream, I often get 2 or 3 scoops, not because I need that much ice cream, but because I simply can’t decide on just one flavor–I have to have at least 2! As you may have noticed, I also have the same problem with dogs, oh how my life would be so much simpler if I only had one breed to manage and plan around, but, alas, I can’t decide, which is why I have 3!
