I WANT A CAVAPOO

Commonly asked questions about Cavapoos:

What is a Cavapoo? A Cavapoo is a cross between a King Charles Cavalier and a Poodle. They are super friendly, social, cuddly and are fabulous lap dogs. Most Cavapoos being made are F1 Cavapoos and are 50% Cavalier and 50% Poodle, using a Poodle parent and a Cavalier parent. Cavapoos can also be made using a F1 Cavapoo bred back to a Poodle making them 25% Cavalier and 75% Poodle those would be called F1b Cavapoos. Another variation is a F1 Cavapoo bred back to a Cavalier making a Reverse F1b Cavapoo resulting in a Cavapoo that is 75% Cavalier and 25% Poodle; those are less common because it can produce some puppies in the litter that are unfurnished and can shed. Another type of Cavapoo is a Multigenerational Cavapoo, these are made breeding a Cavapoo to another Cavapoo of any percentage of Cavalier. These are rising in popularity because breeders have discovered that they can produce puppies that are healthier and have more desirable coats and can increase the percentage of Cavalier in the puppies that are produced. While some Multigenerational Cavapoos can actually be less desirable in health, coat and temperament traits it is always so important to do your research and select your puppy from a breeder that is ethical and has a firm understanding of genetics and their parent dogs being used. Cavapoos are not all created equal and it is important to work with a breeder that understands the genetics and temperament being used to create their Cavapoo Puppies.

How Big Does a Cavapoo Get? Cavapoos come in many sizes because Poodles also come in many sizes, but the most common Poodle size used to make Cavapoos are the Toy and Mini Poodles, making 17 lbs and smaller Cavapoos. When using a Moyen Poodle, 20-40 lbs, those Cavapoos created are called Cuddle Cavapoos and typically range in size from 17-40 lbs, with the average being between 20-30 lbs.

Do Cavapoos Shed? No, but yes. Let me explain: Cavapoos are considered hypoallergenic and many consider them to be non-shedding. However, all dogs will shed to some degree just as humans do. There is a lot of misconception out there about hypoallergenic dogs. Many think that it's the coat texture that determines the shed factor, whether a dog has a curly, wavy or straight coat. But that is wrong and does not have to do with the amount of shedding. The actual genes that determine shedding are the furnishing gene and the shed gene. The furnishing gene being the strongest to determine the amount of shedding, verses the shed gene that mosly determines whether the hair follicle is softer and more fine or thicker/coarser. If a dog has even a single furnishing then they will have hair insead of fur and that is what makes them hypoallergenic and what many would call "non-shed". Fur follicles grow to a certain length and then fall out and replaces itself and that's the shedding that happens in most dogs. Compared to hair follicles that continuously grow with only some falling out, like with humans, but most hair follicles continue to grow and those dogs are the ones that are low to "non" shed and are considered hypoallergenic. Dogs with furnishings will need regular hair cuts every 2-4 months typically. Dogs with 2 furnishings shed even less than dogs with 1 furnishing, even though both are hypoallergenic and hardly shed at all compared to dogs with fur. Dogs with 2 furnishings and 2 low shed genes will shed the very least and are the absolute best for those that may suffer with dog allergies, and the dog's coat will be the softest. Dogs with 2 furnishings and only 1 shed gene will still be great for allergy sufferers and the coat will still be soft. Dogs with 2 furnishing and no low shed genes will still be less shed but their coats may not be as soft and the coat may bother some with allergies. Dogs with 1 furnishing and no low shed genes may shed a little more noticeably but still not very much, but have a higher chance of bothering allergy sufferers. Dogs with no furnishings will have fur and will shed noticeably whether they have 0-2 low shed genes and usually do bother those that have dog allergies. How the two genes interact will determine the shed amount and coat softness. For example many Poodles with 2 furnishings have no low shed genes and their hair has a more coarse feel to it but they still don't shed, at least not anymore than a human. But all Cavaliers do not have any furnishings but do have 2 low shed genes and their fur sheds noticeably but their coat is silky soft.

How long do Cavapoos live? Cavapoos generally live 12 - 15 years. There are many factors that can influence a Cavapoo's lifespan, the main ones are genetics, diet, exercise and preventative care. Purchasing from a reputable breeder who tests both genetically and physically with DNA and OFA testing for health issues in both parent breeds and pairs their dogs responsibly will increase the longevity of a Cavapoo's life. What a dog eats can also affect it's length and quality of life. Regular veterinary visits are also important to catch any issues early on, especially in their senior years starting around 8 years old.
