"I’m so sweet that you’ll never want to let me go!"
As a mix between Cavaliers and Poodles, Cavapoos are sweet dogs that make great friends for kids, dogs, and other pets. Each pup’s personality will vary based on genetics and environment, but you can count on most Cavapoos to be loving dogs that stay glued to your side.
The Cavapoo is friendly, energetic, and thrives on being around people. They're smart and can be somewhat hyper. Cavapoos tend to follow their owners from room to room, eager to play or just cuddle up. Some are so attached to their owners that they suffer separation anxiety, barking and whining whenever they leave. Cavapoos may get into mischief or snoop around too, so keep a close eye on them to avoid messy surprises.
Cavapoos are known for their soft, Poodle-like coat, though a few have the Cavalier’s longer, silkier, wavy coat. These pups come in a wide variety of colors, including gold, black, white, Blenheim (brown and white), or tricolor (black, white, and tan). The Cavapoo’s shedding will depend on their genes, as those with Cavalier fur will shed more, while those with a Poodle coat will hardly shed at all.
Cavapoos make great companions for anyone, from small kids to older couples. They’re friendly with strangers and get along well with dogs and other pets too. Young children should be supervised around Cavapoos to make sure they’re treated respectfully and don’t play too rough. These dogs are the perfect size for apartments, but if they live in a house, they should primarily stay indoors and around people.
The Cavapoo needs exercise every day but nothing too strenuous. They will be happy playing inside, walking, fetching, or paying a visit to the dog park. If your Cavapoo is interested, dog sports and games like agility and rally can be another good way to get their energy out.
