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. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-25 pounds and stand 9-14 inches tall.

Cavapoos are generally excellent with children of all ages. 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. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

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. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

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. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Cavapoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. These dogs are the perfect size for apartments, but if they live in a house, they should primarily stay indoors and around people. They are fairly easy to train.

Beagles are small dogs with incredibly powerful noses. They love hunting and will follow any interesting scent they come across. Beagles are friendly and playful, but they do like to do things their own way. If you’re okay with a strong-minded dog, a Beagle’s spunky, fun and friendly personality will steal your heart. Full-grown, they typically weigh 20-30 pounds and stand 13-15 inches tall.

Beagles are generally excellent with children of all ages. They are friendly playmates with children and most other dogs. Beagles can learn to get along with cats if raised with them, but remember, they’re hunting dogs, so keep an eye on them when they’re together just to be sure. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

Beagles love hunting, but their favorite part about this activity is being allowed to follow their nose to their heart's content. If you’re a hunter, take them with you in the field and you’ll have a faithful ally always. They’ll also enjoy long walks or hikes, especially if you let them stick their nose around to investigate what else has been in the area. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

A Beagle’s short hair is relatively low-maintenance. Brushing their hair or going through it with a hound mitt once or twice a week will get rid of anything they’ve brought back into the house with them and help remove dead hair. Beagles do shed, but these weekly brushings will help cut back on the amount of hair you find in your house. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Beagles are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. The happiest Beagles have access to a large, safe, outdoors play area but can come back inside to live with their families. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
