About the Cavapoo/Cavoodle:

The Cavapoo, also lovingly known as the Cavoodle, is a delightful cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle. While the exact beginnings of the breed aren’t fully documented, Cavapoos are widely believed to have first been intentionally bred in Australia during the 1990s. The goal was to create a loving, family-friendly companion that blends the Cavalier’s gentle affection with the Poodle’s intelligence and low-shedding coat.

The result is a dog with a sweet personality, an irresistible face, and a deep devotion to their people. Cavapoos have quickly become one of the most beloved companion breeds around the world. They are known for fitting beautifully into family life and forming strong, lifelong bonds with those who love them.

Cavapoo Size:

Because Poodles come in a range of sizes, Cavapoos can vary as well. Typical size ranges include:

• Toy Cavapoo: approximately 6–10 lbs

• Miniature Cavapoo: approximately 12–18 lbs

• Medium (Moyen) Cavapoo: approximately 22–35 lbs

• Standard/Large Cavapoo: approximately 45–60 lbs

Toy and Miniature Cavapoos are the most common and are especially loved for their “perfect cuddle size.” Larger Cavapoos, which are sometimes called “Cuddle Cavapoos” offer the same wonderful temperament in a more active, athletic body and may range from 25–60 lbs.
Our breeding program focuses exclusively on Toy and Miniature Poodles to produce Cavapoos well suited for family companionship and travel.

​Colors & Coat:

One of the many joys of Cavapoos is their beautiful variety of coat colors and patterns. Common colors include red, cream, apricot, black, brown, black and tan, tricolor, and parti (a white base coat with patches of another color). Check out our Cavapoo Photo Album page for picture examples.

Their coats are typically soft, fluffy, and wavy to curly in texture. Like many Poodle-mix breeds, Cavapoo coats may lighten or change slightly as they grow, which is completely normal. While red Cavapoos have become especially popular, every color is equally charming, and each puppy is uniquely beautiful.

​

Temperament & Personality:

Cavapoos are treasured for their loving, and friendly nature. They thrive on companionship and truly want to be part of everything their family does. Many owners describe them as a “little shadow,” happily following from room to room just to stay close.

They are wonderful with children and usually do very well with other pets when properly socialized. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make training a rewarding experience, especially when using positive reinforcement. Cavapoos respond best to gentle guidance, encouragement, and consistency; keeping in mind that Cavapoos are a sensitive and emotionally intuitive breed.

Because Cavapoos form such strong bonds with their people, they may struggle with being left alone for long periods. Starting training and independence skills early in puppyhood can help prevent separation anxiety and build their confidence.

House training may take a bit longer than with some breeds, as Cavapoos can mature at a slower pace. Patience, keeping a routine, and using positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping your puppy succeed.

Cavapoos may bark to let you know someone is at the door, but they are not typically excessive barkers. Their calm, and people-loving nature also makes them excellent candidates for therapy or emotional support roles.

​A Cavapoo is a Loving Companion for Life:

The Cavapoo is more than just an adorable puppy, they are a loyal friend, and a true member of the family. While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, many families find Cavapoos to be a great option for lower shedding and allergy-friendly homes.

Above all, Cavapoos are dogs that love deeply and wholeheartedly. Once you welcome a Cavapoo into your home, you’ll quickly understand why this breed captures hearts so easily. They bring gentle companionship, endless joy and cuddles. Cavapoos have a special way of turning a house into a home.​
