What Is a Cavapoo? (and Why Families Love Them)
The Cavapoo is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle. This combination brings together the gentle, affectionate nature of the Cavalier with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle.
Cavapoos are one of the most popular companion dogs for families because they are adaptable, people-focused, and easy to live with.
Temperament & Personality
Cavapoos are known for their friendly and loving nature. They tend to bond closely with their families and enjoy being part of everyday life.
You can expect a Cavapoo to be:
Affectionate and people-oriented
Gentle with children
Social and friendly with visitors
Intelligent and eager to please
Because of their temperament, Cavapoos do best in homes where they are included in daily routines and not left alone for long periods.
Size & Appearance
Most Cavapoos fall into a small to medium size range, depending on the parents.
Typical expectations:
Weight: ~10–20 pounds
Height: ~9–14 inches
Their coats can range from soft waves to loose curls and often have that classic “teddy bear” look many families are drawn to.
Shedding & Coat Care
Cavapoos are often considered low-shedding, especially when they inherit more of the Poodle coat.
However:
No dog is completely non-shedding
Regular grooming is still required
Plan for:
Brushing several times per week
Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks
