About Cavapoos

Cavapoos were first bred in American during the 1950’s by breeders who wanted to create a low-shedding dog that would be an ideal choice for people who suffer from allergies. A cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle dog breeds, outgoing, playful, and curious inheriting some of the best traits from both of their parents.

Cavapoos go by several names, including Cavadoodle and Cavoodle. Despite their unfortunate status as a designer breed, they make amazing family pets, as they’re outgoing and adore attention. If you want a loyal, playful dog who enjoys romping around with you or snuggling up on the couch, then this breed may be for you!

Coat colours, the texture and length of hair can vary some lean towards the Poodle and others having more of a Cavalier coat. As such some can have silky coats which they inherit from the Cavalier whereas others have a wavier coat which is a good indication they have thrown more to the Poodle. When it comes to colours, the most commonly seen coat colours being as follows:
