cavapoos

This adorable mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle is also sometimes called a “Cavoodle.” These little pups thrive on human companionship. Cavapoos are friendly, energetic, and intelligent, and come in a variety of colors. Most often, these dogs have a soft, Poodle-like coat, but some have the Cavalier’s longer, silkier coat. Cavapoos make great companions, get along well with everyone (people and pets alike), and are happy living in any size home.

The charming Cavapoo is a small designer breed that combines the gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the clever Poodle. The Cavapoo has an estimated life expectancy of 12-15 years and is often considered to be a healthier option when compared to its purebred parents. While health research is still being documented for them it is important to mention they can still inherit similar health issues as their foundation breeds. Proper care and yearly vet exams are essential in providing your Cavapoo with a long, happy, and healthy life. Basic health screenings to diagnose or even rule out potential health risks can be performed by your veterinarian.

The Cavapoo is a loving and playful designer that is generally easy to train. They are often eager to please and form strong bonds with their family.

The Cavalier is often bred to either the Toy or Miniature variety of Poodle. It is very unlikely that Cavapoo will have a Standard Poodle parent.

Cavapoos are often gentle, sweet, and calm. Their size and disposition make them an excellent choice for apartment living or with young children.
