What is a Cavapoo?
A Cavapoo is a designer dog breed, a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (typically a Miniature or Toy Poodle). They are known for being friendly, intelligent, and affectionate dogs. Here’s more about the breed:
Key Traits:
- Size: Small, usually weighing between 10 to 25 pounds.
- Coat: Cavapoos have soft, curly, or wavy coats. Their coats can come in a variety of colors, including cream, apricot, red, chocolate, and black, sometimes with white markings.
- Hypoallergenic: Thanks to their Poodle genes, Cavapoos are often considered to be hypoallergenic. However, this can vary depending on the individual dog and how much they shed.
- Temperament: Cavapoos are gentle, loving, and social dogs. They typically get along well with children and other pets, making them a great family dog. They are known for being playful and energetic but also enjoy downtime with their families.
Health:
They generally enjoy good health but, like all breeds, they can be prone to certain genetic conditions inherited from their parent breeds, such as:
- Mitral valve disease (from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel)
- Hip dysplasia
- Progressive retinal atrophy (Poodle side)
Care:
- Exercise: They need regular exercise, such as daily walks or playtime, to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.
- Grooming: Their coats require regular grooming to prevent matting, especially if they inherit more of the Poodle’s curly coat.
