Cavapoo (Cavoodle)
The breed of adorable dogs named Cavapoo, also called in some circles as a Cavoodle, is actually a mix between the Poodle purebreds and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They are designer dogs and have been grouped under βtoyβ dog breeds, which are generally characterized by their small size. They are social, intelligent and loving by nature, however, they donβt get well with children.

Temperament
Cavapoos are friendly, loving, caring and affectionate dogs. They are quite playful and social. They are harmless, however, care must be taken so that, children treat them with respect, and they are supervised by the elders, while playing around with them. Cavapoos are not kennel dogs. They would rather prefer to spend time with their master and family, and even cuddle in bed at night in the ownerβs bed, since they feel lonely alone at nighttime.
Care
Exercise
Take them for a walk regularly, find out some time regularly for some indoor plays and amusement like fetch games and small dog agility competitions. In general, both the puppyΒ and the adult cavapoos do not need the daily dose of lots of exercise.
Grooming
Always keep your cavapoo clean and grow healthy habits. Keep them away from dirt, brush their coat, keep their nails trimmed and get their ears cleaned by expert hands.
Health Problems
Cavapoos shed hair moderately. If not groomed regularly, the coat of the cavapoo can become tangled and matted, which could easily lead to different problems of the skin.
Like other crossbreed dogs, cavapoos are vulnerable to picking up genetic health problems. Hence, these dogs can very well develop specifically such health conditions which are common to both the poodle and the cavalier king charles spaniels, particularly if you are not aware about whom you are buying your puppy from.
Other heredity diseases include :Β Hip dysplasia, eye diseases such as glaucoma, entropion, cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy,Β mitral valve disease, luxating patellas (a disease affecting one or more knees, which might even end up in surgery) and even epilepsy.
Training
For their intelligence and vigilance, cavapoos can pick up tricks, and can easily understand what is asked of them, and are eager to please their owners. So it is recommended to interact with them in a well-varied and gentle approach.
Appreciate your puppy every time it does something good or learns something successfully.
Choose a particular phrase for the respective action you want your puppy to do, like βgo to the looβ, βhave your lunchβ, βbring me the newspaper Snowyβ etc. Repeat this every time you want the work to be done, and very soon, your pup will connect those words with the action you want it to do, and it will carry it on successfully.
Interesting Facts
- Among the cavapoos, the females tend to be more loyal and might even follow you around.
- These dogs are fearless by nature, which in turn means that, they are more vulnerable to danger and can potentially be harmed.
- Cavapoo dogs have short muzzle, and hence, can be sensitive to heat, hence should not be left exposed to the outside heat on a hot day.
Buying/Adopting CavapooΒ Puppies from Breeders
Cavapoo adoption is quite common. However, the medical history of the parents, grandparents and great grandparents must be inquired and considered before buying a puppy from the cavapoo breeders.
To ensure that, your puppy stays safe from any future health hazards, it is strongly advised to buy cavapoo only from the breeders who use (or is ready to use) the RSPCA / BVA AWF Puppy Contract and Puppy Information Pack (PIP).
It is also advisable to buy a cavapoo pup only from the breeders who abide by the Dog Advisory Councilβs Standard for Breeders. Just having the new dog get checked by the vet is not enough for genetic health testing. Hence, one should not buy a cavapoo puppy from any breeder who is unable to provide the buyer with written documentation that the pupβs parents were cleared of health issues, which usually affect the cavapoo breed.

I am interested in acquiring a puppy. Can you give me names of breeders in Virginia or Pennsylvania?
Thank you.
Would like to buy a cavapoo we have a bungalow with nice garden and we are both retired
I have a cavapoo and she is happy to just have people around. She does have a large yard to roam but she doesn’t really care. She’d rather sit near me on the deck and just watch. We take short walks which she had become accustomed to, and will remind me every night what time it is!
As as pup, she did like to dig in the yard but that happened because she was bored. She likes to chew on toys and run for a ball.
She’s so easy to have! She JUST LOVES HER HUMANS!
please advise on where I can purchase this exact type of dog
Do you have adult dogs
Do they shed?
no they do not,,,,however, I would like to ask about when they will stop acting crazy,,,I have a 4 1/2 to 5 month old,,,can’t get him to potty outside,stop biting, jumping etc.. and he went to puppy school,,,,,
My cavapoo was a bit crazy for a year, maybe a bit longer. She was potty trained well before 4 months. You have to be consistent with his training. They are very eager to oleaseyyand should have a lot of positive reinforcement.
The “zoomies” still happen at age 3! It’s fun to watch and it’s playful.
Don’t be discouraged. Be consistent.
Hi,
Yes, Cavapoos do shed, but the intensity varies. If it takes more towards the Poodle side, it will shed lesser than if it takes the Cavalier side.
No.
I want to buy one for myself. Have any idea where I can get a puppy?
Can you recommend breeder local in South Carolina? Looking to get a covapoo puppy for my daughter as a Christmas present.
