Breed Info
Cavapoos are a popular designer cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. They are known for their affectionate, playful personalities and their often low-shedding coats. At Paw Prints on My Heart, we raise Cavapoos in a loving family environment, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready to thrive in their new homes.
Shedding
Low to Moderate
Cavapoos typically inherit a wavy or curly coat from their Poodle parent, which sheds less than many breeds. Regular grooming and brushing help manage their coat and minimize shedding.
Size
Small to Medium
Cavapoos usually weigh between 12–25 pounds and stand 9–14 inches tall, depending on whether the Poodle parent was miniature or toy. Their size makes them adaptable for both apartments and larger homes.
Temperament
Affectionate & Friendly
Cavapoos are gentle, loving, and eager to please. They get along well with children, adults, and other pets, making them excellent family companions.
Energy Level
Moderate
Cavapoos enjoy playtime, walks, and interactive games, but they are equally happy to snuggle on the couch. Daily activity helps keep them healthy and stimulated.
Trainability
Excellent
Cavapoos are intelligent and eager to please, which makes training easier. Positive reinforcement works best, and they often excel at obedience and agility.
Health
Generally Healthy
Cavapoos are generally healthy but may be prone to conditions like heart disease (from the Cavalier) or hip dysplasia and eye issues (from the Poodle). Regular veterinary checkups help ensure long-term health.
Lifespan
12–15 years
Cavapoos typically live 12–15 years. With good nutrition, regular vet care, and lots of love, they can enjoy long, happy lives.
Grooming
Moderate
Cavapoos require regular brushing to prevent tangles and matting, as well as routine baths and trims. Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks helps maintain their coat.
