The Cavapoo, also known as the Cavadoodle, is a hybrid breed that is a mixture of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle breeds. While the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel hails from the UK and the Poodle comes from Germany or France, the first Cavapoos were in fact bred in Australia.
This family-friendly breed has since spread across the globe and is now one of the most popular breeds in the United States and Canada. These small dogs are loving, affectionate, and intelligent, making them great companions for families and the elderly. Their compact size also makes them a great fit for city dwellers who live in smaller living spaces. Given their size and temperament, it is no shock that the Cavapoo is one of the most popular mixed breeds in the United States.
The Cavapoo is a small sized breed, often resulting from the mixture of a Miniature Poodle or Toy Poodle with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This combination results in a puppies who are 9-14 inches tall with an average weight of 10-25 lb.
Cavapoos have curly or wavy hair, typically taking after the wavy coat of their Poodle parent. However, some Cavapoos can inherit more of their fur type from their Cavalier parent, resulting in a more flat coat. The coat colors can vary significantly and can be single color, bi-color, or tri-color. The most common coat colors on a Cavapoos are Black, White, Red, Tan, Apricot, Golden, Cream, Chocolate, or a combination of these colors.
The coat color of a Cavapoo can change over time, though the colors tend to grow lighter rather than darker as they change over time.
Cavapoos are not a high-barking breed. The Cavalier is a gentle breed with a quiet demeanor, and this can be seen in Cavapoos too. However, as with most dog breeds, Cavapoos can exhibit excessive barking if left alone or not given proper activity or socialization.
Cavapoos tend to bark when they meet strangers, if they are startled by sudden noises, or if they are angry, scared, bored, or in pain. Given the intelligence of this breed, you can train your pup to overcome this barking urge through selective barking training. However, always pay attention to your dog's barking, as he or she may be alerting you to something that's disturbing it.
Cavapoo puppies for sale range in price from $1,200 to $3,000. While there is no exact price for this breed, the price tends to vary depending on the breeder's experience and location, time of year, and the size, color, and physical attributes of the puppy.
Smaller sized puppies tend to be in higher demand and this mixed breed is known not only for its cute looks, but also loving personality. Given this high demand, litters of Cavapoos can sometimes exceed $3,000 per puppy.
Cavapoos suffer from health issues that are common to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle breeds. Some common health concerns for Cavapoos include hip dysplasia, mitral valve disease, luxating patellas, epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy, and cataracts.
Research suggests that mixed breeds can be healthier than purebred dogs because of their lower likelihood to inherit recessive genetic conditions. Nevertheless, it is important that ethical breeders screen for common health issues in their breeding parents through genetic testing or veterinary checkups. This way, Cavapoo breeders can ensure that their puppies are protected against common genetic predispositions.
Cavapoos are excellent family pets. They are intelligent, loving, and playful, and make wonderful companions for both children and the elderly. Their sweet temperament makes them a great playmate for your children. If you are looking to bring home a play partner for your kids, then look no farther! The Cavapoo is an excellent companion for both small children and older children.
Cavapoos tend to inherit the curly but low-shedding coat of their Poodle parent. Low-shedding coats are less likely to release dander in the air, which is what triggers allergies. The hypoallergenic coat makes the Cavapoo an excellent fit for families with allergy sufferers.
Cavapoos have a moderate energy level and do not require excessive exercise or activity. This makes this family-friendly companion an excellent fit for smaller living spaces such as apartments. Also, given their high intelligence, this breed can be trained from an early age, whether for potty training or to encourage their behavioral development.
Given the high trainability of Cavapoos, these dogs can be trained to serve as therapy dogs or emotional support animals. This makes them a good service dog for the elderly.
Given the popularity of this breed, it is commonly bred by backyard breeders and puppy mills. These breeders are not diligent about the health or safety of their puppies, and can also lead to an overpopulation of dogs. It is extremely important that you do your research to ensure that the puppy you bring home is from a reputable breeder with ethical breeding standards.
Critical information you should gather include inspecting the breeding premises, asking for the pedigrees or bloodlines of the breeding parents, collecting references from previous buyers, and asking for information about health guarantees offered by the breeder.
Responsible breeders follow a well-defined breeding program that limits the breeding frequency of their breeding dogs and includes health and genetic testing of their studs, dames, and puppies. Ethical Cavapoo breeders also promote early and effective socialization of their pups.
