The Cavoodle is a small, playful, intelligent and gorgeous perfect apartment dog.

So, let’s get into this extraordinary breed. We’re going to tell you 14 facts about it and we’re pretty sure you won’t need to look any further.

Cavoodle Is An Adorable Cross

The Cavapoo or Cavoodle is a cross between a Cavalier Kings Charles Spaniel and a Poodle; standard, toy or miniature. It is of Australian origin.

The offspring produced inherit the corresponding qualities from the parents. Intelligence and liveliness from the Poodle and calmness and smallness from the other parent.

If you want to bring in a soft, gentle, cuddly breed that loves to play with children and sit on your lap, this dog is for you.

There Are Many Types of Cavoodle Generations

Different hybrid generations are available.

F1 generation:

First generation Cavoodles, or F1 generation, typically contain an equal mix of the two parent breeds; Doodle and Cavalier. This will be the best generation and is mostly bred by famous breeders.

First generation Cavoodles are the least susceptible to genetic disorders, have little or no hair loss and have pleasant behavior..

If a Cavalier or Poodle is crossed with an F1 Cavoodle, it will be an F1b generation.

F2 generation:

F2 generation means that the offspring/puppies produced are the result of breeding between two F1 Cavoodles.

Speaking of specific traits of this generation, on average half the litter will resemble both their parents (e.g. the color of a Cavalier and the size of a Poodle), a quarter like a Cavalier Charles, and another quarter like a Poodle.

F2b generation also exists:

It could be an F2 Cavoodle bred with a Cavalier or an F2 Cavoodle bred with a Poodle. In the first case, the puppy will associate more closely with the Cavalier, and in the second, the Poodle.

Also, if the F1b Cavoodle is crossed with the F1 Cavoodle, it will become F2b.

This type of breeding is not very common because the offspring lose many characteristics of their parents.

Multi-generation

Includes any Cavoodle of the third generation or higher. For example, generating F3 means crossing two F2s and F4 means crossing two F3s.

They Are Available in Multiple Colors & Have A Very Cute Appearance

Although appearance can vary depending on the appearance received from each parent, Cavoodles are generally very cute.

They have a soft and fluffy coat with small eyes that are usually grey, black and brown. The ears are drooping, the muzzle is of medium length, the tongue is small and thin, and the nose is black.

As for the tail, it is small, fluffy and pointed. Unlike other large breeds with a solid fur color, this breed is unpredictable.

It can be black, apricot, white, gold, chocolate, caramel. And then there are the multi- and tri-color options: a combination of any two or three colors.

The appearance can also change to become an adult dog as the newborn puppy ages.

Cavoodle Temperament Is One To Die For

The Poodle is the parent of many hybrid breeds: Labradoodle, Shepdoodle, Yorkipoo, Whole, and many more. And they all have an extremely cheerful nature.

Now consider the other parent:

Social and playful Cavalier. So it’s easy to say that Cavoodles combine the best qualities of cleverness, loyalty, trainability, playfulness and cuteness.

Easily bought by Americans and Australians for their gentle and friendly personalities, these animals are extremely loyal and yearn for the love and affection of their family members.

Whether it’s a jumbo ball, wooden stick or chew toy, they love to play with children and are friendly with strangers.

Quite cuddly, they love to roll on the floor, jump around, wag their tails gleefully, and curl around your legs.

You can prepare a playground with slides, tunnels and swings that will make them extremely happy.

They are also very loyal and will quickly recognize themselves as part of your family.

They don’t size much

One of the main reasons why it is a highly anticipated family dog is its small size. A full grown Cavoodle can be 25-40 cm tall and weigh 5-15 kg.

Although there is a range in their size, they can be correctly assigned as a small sized breed as neither parent is very large.

Poodles are no larger than 15 inches (standard), while King Cavalier is 12-13 inches.

There’s more.

They are usually bred with Toy or Miniature Poodles. Crossing a Toy Poodle and a Cavalier Spaniel produces a Toy Cavoodle up to 33 cm.

If crossed with a Miniature Poodle instead, it will generally be larger and produce a Miniature Cavoodle with a maximum size of 45cm.

They Are A Great Choice For Apartments

While ample space is absolutely essential for large dogs like the Black German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Pitbulls, this breed can happily live in an apartment.

If you don’t have a big house or a large area, don’t worry!

The first reason is that they are small. It’s a place to sleep and eat and you’re good to go too. They do not need a large yard or garden to run and bark.

The second reason is its ability to be a wonderful lap dog, similar to its parent Charles Cavalier Spaniel. They love to be petted and petted while lying on your thighs.

But he also has high energy levels due to his connection with the Poodle, so you’ll need to arrange walks for him too – not much, take him with you to a nearby store.

The third reason is that they are hypoallergenic and shed very little. You don’t have to worry if they jump on your sofa or bed unless their paws are clean.

More on spillage, later on the blog.

Their nutrition requirement change according to the age

Initially, Cavoodle puppies needed more fat and protein to fuel them with enough energy to play and run.

The best dog food at this age would be Hill Science Diet Small Dog Food or Royal Canin Dog Food.

As they begin their journey into adulthood, they should be shifted to more regular dog food that needs to be dry as their teeth are prone to catching tartar.

Of course, you can clean them with a dog toothbrush, but it’s always better to be careful.

Because their stomachs are small, they usually eat a small amount at a time. So you need to feed them 4-5 times a day. We will not go into the details of the measurement as your canine veterinarian will guide you better.

However, we recommend measuring the food precisely so that you know exactly how much nutrients are entering their body. This can be helpful when explaining any health issues to your veterinarian.

Cavoodles require 45 minutes of daily exercise

Besides being highly trainable, they are lively and energetic dogs. This trait is derived from Poodles and unless you give them a good exercise routine they don’t offer the full potential of their “live” behavior.

Dog exercise is necessary; Different dogs have different exercise needs. Cavoodles need about 40-60 minutes of exercise a day.

It could be running, walking, cycling, throwing and catching or something else. These activities strengthen bones and muscles and improve cognitive skills.

They are quiet dogs but can bark in some cases

Just like French Bulldogs, they don’t bark much – Even when they do, it’s not exactly a bark but an audible note between a groan and a howl.

They would only bark when they were hungry, in pain, or in a temper. Even that is drastically reduced when you find out the reason for their barking.

They are likely to bark at new, unfamiliar people, but their love for them will soon grow.

You need to keep an eye on the puppies; they are very inquisitive

As puppies they love to sniff around and explore your closets and closets so you can consider two options:

1. Have a separate room for them (dog rooms)
2. Prepare restrictions and define boundaries for them through security gates and barriers.

They are easily drawn to a new smell or sound and quickly go to the source.

You can have fun with them with rattles and singing toys.

They are prone to separation anxiety so don’t leave them alone

We have mentioned earlier that they are very social and like to interact with people like Bernedoodles. If left alone for a long time, they can become moody and experience separation anxiety.

They then become destructive and can scratch the door or the place you exited.

But you don’t get a chance to be with them every minute.

So how is it prevented?

There are many ways. You can change the exit and return routine, have them explore different parts of the room to keep them busy, and provide chew dogs.

Cavapoos are definitely not low-maintenance.

They don’t shed much, but that doesn’t mean their coats don’t need attention – the Cavoodle needs constant grooming.

If they have long hair like the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, you should wash them every two weeks along with a good brushing.

Regular brushing is necessary if the coat is more like a Poodle. And by regular, we mean daily. Knots tend to appear in their coats, which can become large lumps if not brushed.

Cavadoodles tend to shed more in their first year of life because they have a soft, developing coat at that time. After the first year, they begin to get a dense adult plumage with little hair.

You also need to keep their face and ears clean to prevent infections and eye spots.

Have you ever seen brown, red, or rust-colored marks near a dog’s eyes?

They should be avoided, but how?

Trim the hair near their eyes and clean them regularly using wet wipes and cotton rollers. There are other ways this video will tell.

As a general rule, you should take her to the hairdresser every six to seven weeks.

They can get Syringomyelia & Mitral Valve Disease

Although mixed breeds are less prone to developing genetic disorders, there are still some diseases they can encounter.

Cavoodles are prone to ailments involving their parents. This includes the following.

• Syringomyelia: This occurs when the skull is too small for the brain. It can cause pain in dogs, and they would make a noise when they stroked or stroked their heads.
• Mitral Valve Disease: This is a heart problem in which the valve between the upper and lower heart chambers does not work properly. This is a genetic problem so when purchasing Cavoodle puppies make sure that the parents do not have this disease.
• Epilepsy
• Cataract: A sheath forms over the eyes that causes vision problems.

They aren’t cheap or easy to find

It is only reasonable to expect a high price for it, as they are a hybrid breed of two expensive parents.

You can generally expect to spend $1000-3000, but this range can go up to $4000. The price will depend on the age of the dog, the breeder’s reputation and/or the region’s adoption fees.

Now, there are two ways to get a Cavoodle.

• Cavoodle breeders

This breed is not AKC registered, so it will not be available from registered breeders. Therefore, before searching for a reputable breeder, consult online materials, veterinarians, friends and family.

Always confirm whether the breeder you are purchasing is licensed. Other factors to consider are:

The environment of the rearing house i.e. cleanliness, number of puppies in a place, nature of food intake and grooming

The nature of the breeder. It should not give offspring at a massive rate because that means something is suspicious.

The health of puppies or adult dogs. It is better to have a veterinarian with you when purchasing.

• Adoption platforms

That means both online platforms and nearby rescue and adoption centers. The problem with rescue dogs is that you don’t know exactly how they were raised and kept.

He may be prone to genetic disorders and diseases and be kept in a hostile environment.

But those who valued dogs held them pretty well (which turns withdrawal into an advantage)

There are online adoption platforms like Puppyfind and Adoptapet that sell high quality Cavoodle puppies.
