Size
Cavapoos are typically small dogs, usually weighing between 10 to 20 pounds. This makes them suitable for both apartments and homes with limited space. They don’t require a large yard to thrive, but they still enjoy a good walk or play session.
Temperament
Cavapoos are affectionate, friendly, and social. They tend to get along well with everyone, including children, other pets, and strangers. Their easygoing nature makes them excellent companions for various family dynamics. They often thrive in environments where they are the center of attention, as they love being around people.
Good with children – Cavapoos are generally gentle and patient, making them suitable for homes with children.
Great with other pets – They typically get along well with other dogs and even cats, provided they are properly socialized from a young age.
Adaptability
These dogs are adaptable to different living situations. Whether you live in a busy city apartment or a suburban home, a Cavapoo can adjust to your lifestyle, as long as they get enough attention, exercise, and mental stimulation.
Exercise Needs
Cavapoos are fairly active and require regular walks and playtime, but they aren’t as demanding as some high-energy breeds. A daily walk, along with some indoor playtime or interactive toys, will keep them happy and healthy.
While they enjoy outdoor activities, they're not as high-energy as some larger breeds, which makes them easier to manage indoors.
Low-Shedding (Hypoallergenic)
Thanks to the Poodle's influence, Cavapoos often have a curly, wavy coat that sheds very little, making them a good option for people with mild allergies. While no dog is truly "hypoallergenic," they are generally considered to be more allergy-friendly compared to many other breeds. Regular grooming is necessary to keep their coats in good condition, but the effort is usually worth it for people looking for a low-shedding dog.
Intelligence & Trainability
Cavapoos inherit intelligence from both the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle. They are relatively easy to train and often eager to please, making them great for first-time dog owners. Basic commands, house training, and socialization tend to come relatively easily to Cavapoos. However, like many smaller dogs, they can sometimes develop small dog syndrome (being a bit more stubborn or independent), so early training and socialization are important.
Companionship
Because they are so people-oriented, Cavapoos can be quite clingy at times. They generally don’t do well being left alone for long periods. If you work from home or have the time to spend with them, they will thrive in your presence. They make wonderful lap dogs and love cuddling, so if you’re looking for a companion who will be close to you, this breed is a good choice.
Grooming Needs
While Cavapoos shed little, they still require regular grooming. Their curly or wavy coats can become tangled and matted without proper care. Regular brushing and occasional professional grooming (every 6-8 weeks) are essential to maintain their coat and overall health.
Health Considerations
Like all mixed breeds, Cavapoos inherit traits from both parent breeds, which means they can sometimes inherit health conditions. However, Cavapoos are generally healthy dogs. Some potential health concerns to be aware of include:
Ear infections (due to their floppy ears)
Dental issues (Cavapoos, like many small breeds, can be prone to dental disease)
Heart issues (due to their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel heritage)
Regular vet check-ups and preventive care will help ensure your Cavapoo stays healthy.
