Cavapoo Puppies: The Complete Guide for First-Time Owners
If you're considering bringing home a Cavapoo puppy, you're in good company. Cavapoos are one of the most beloved designer breeds in America, and for good reason — they're affectionate, intelligent, low-shedding, and the perfect size for families. At Cedar Wood Farms in Berry, Alabama, we've raised dozens of Cavapoo litters and helped families across the Southeast find their perfect companion.
What Is a Cavapoo?
A Cavapoo is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (usually Miniature or Toy). This combination produces a small, affectionate dog with a soft, wavy, low-shedding coat. Cavapoos inherit the Cavalier's sweet, gentle disposition and the Poodle's intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities.
How Big Do Cavapoos Get?
Adult Cavapoos typically weigh between 10 and 18 pounds and stand 9 to 14 inches tall. Their compact size makes them ideal for apartments, condos, and families with children. Despite their small stature, Cavapoos are sturdy and playful enough for active households.
Cavapoo Temperament
Cavapoos are known for being exceptionally affectionate. They bond deeply with their families and want to be wherever you are. They're gentle with children, friendly with strangers, and get along well with other pets. Their Poodle heritage makes them highly trainable, while their Cavalier side gives them a calm, loving nature.
Are Cavapoos Hypoallergenic?
While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, Cavapoos are considered low-shedding and are a great choice for families with mild allergies. Their Poodle-influenced coat produces less dander than many breeds. Regular grooming helps keep shedding to a minimum.
