Cavoodle (Cavapoo)
Puppy
Fully Grown
A Cavoodle is what is known as a designer or hybrid breed - a cross between a Cavalier Kings Charles and a Poodle. Their curly hair, floppy ears and pretty eyes mostly covered by a fringe give them a sweet innocent teddy bear look.
Cavoodles are becoming very popular family dogs due to their many appealing qualities. Don't expect a couch potato, but rather a small lively dog that will bring fun and action to your family. They love to play, are eager to please and are quite easy to train, as they are intelligent. Even though they are full of energy, they still enjoy a cuddle or two at night with their family.
If they do not get enough stimulation, Cavoodles will find themselves something to do, which might not be something their owners will be happy with!
The Cavoodle is a low shedding dog, but their fur requires regular grooming. It's a good idea to brush this dog daily or their fur may get matted.

There are many sources to get your Cavoodle from. Considering the number of homeless dogs without a future, we strongly encourage you to consider rescuing a dog. Your local shelter or rescue organisation can be a helpful place to start, or try contacting your local or national breed club or a reputable breeder and asking if they have pets available for rehoming. Many rescue organisations have active Facebook pages, which can also be a good place to enquire.
