Meet the breedA small cross with a coat to watchCharacter, size, and what surprises new owners
A Cavapoo joins Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle ancestry in a small companion. The coat may lean toward either parent, so brushing needs should be judged by the hair the puppy actually has.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle can each leave a mark on this mix. The coat, size, and habits of the individual dog tell you more than the cross's name alone.
Parent breeds can pull size and coat in different directions. Measure your own Cavapoo, and ask your veterinarian what healthy growth and care look like for this dog.
Daily life & exerciseA day with a CavapooExercise, play, and a practical daily rhythm
This Cavalier–Poodle cross is usually a small companion, but its activity level comes from the individual. Short walks, play, and time with people make a better plan than treating small size as a reason to skip exercise.
What would your Cavapoo love?
Add their age, size, and favorite things. We’ll find a few good places to start.
Training & temperamentLearning together with a CavapooGood manners and individual personality
Cavaliers are often gentle company; Poodles can be quick students. A Cavapoo may bring either tendency in different measure, so reward calm greetings and make brief alone-time practice part of puppy life.
Coat & groomingThe Cavapoo coatGrooming and everyday care
Soft waves can tangle around the ears, legs, and collar. Brush the actual coat to the skin and ask a groomer when a trim will keep movement and vision comfortable.

Choose food for your Cavapoo's life stage and measured weight. The portion and fit should follow the individual, especially when there is no standard size range. Use this smaller dog's measurements for a harness, carrier, crate, or bed; a breed name is not a size chart.
Begin with small-dog playthings and a gentle detangling comb. Check fit and usefulness against this individual dog rather than the cross's name.
