Cavapoos
Meet the Cavapoo
A Cavapoo is a charming mix of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle. Sometimes called a Cavoodle or Cavapoodle, this hybrid combines the Cavalier’s gentle, golden-retriever-like personality with the intelligence and hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle. The result? A sweet, smart, low-shedding companion who fits beautifully into a wide range of lifestyles.
Why We Love Them
We were first drawn to Cavapoos because of their affectionate nature and adaptability. Their loving temperament, soft low-allergen coats, and intuitive personalities make them ideal family companions, therapy dogs, and emotional support animals. Whether you’re an active adventurer or a homebody, a Cavapoo is happy to be right by your side—on a hike, a paddleboard, or snuggled up on the couch.

Pippi, our beautiful miniature Poodle, was bred to a sweet Ruby Cavalier boy Lance for amazing Miniature F1 Cavapoos. Pippi is such a sweet, smart girl and loves her people hard. Lance is sweet and loving and has such a wonderful temperament, is easy going, and loves everyone. I love her past babies so much and am so excited to see what this pair produce!! This will be Pippi’s final litter and all her babies have been so incredible.

Harper, our beautiful and amazing F1 Cavapoo, was bred to a sweet Miniature Poodle boy Bolt for amazing Miniature F1b Cavapoos. Harper is the epitome of the Cavapoo breed, happy, loving, and always up for a snuggle or an adventure. She brings sunshine wherever she goes with her playful spirit and heart of gold. Bolt, with his sweet personality and gentle demeanor, is the perfect complement. We’re thrilled about this litter and expect puppies with soft, wavy to curly coats, happy dispositions, and the perfect blend of cuddly companionship and playful energy.

River, our beautiful Blue Merle Phantom Poodle, will be bred to a stunning and oh-so-sweet Multigen Cavapoo, Bullet for Cuddle Cavapoos.
River is 25 lbs and 16" at the shoulder, elegant and intelligent with a gentle, loving personality. Bullet brings that heart-melting Cavapoo sweetness and charm, making this pairing extra special. Together they will produce a slightly larger Cavapoo than our usual litters. This size is perfect for families with small children or anyone wanting that amazing Cavapoo temperament in a sturdier, less fragile package.
We are so excited about this litter and expect puppies with soft, wavy to curly coats, affectionate temperaments, and the perfect blend of cuddly companionship and playful energy. This is a repeat litter. We had such amazing feedback from the first litter, we are doing a second one!
Puppies will be Cuddle Cavapoos, likely in the 18–30 lb size range. All will be Tri color, Blue Merle Tri, or Red, with some white on chest and head!
River is in heat now and puppies will be ready to head home approximately end of May / beginning of June
Energy Level
Cavapoos have a moderate energy level. They enjoy daily walks, backyard play, and the occasional outing, but they don’t need intense daily exercise to stay happy. These pups are naturally affectionate and thrive most when they’re included in everyday family life.
Important to note: Cavapoos are people-oriented and can develop separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. They do best in homes where someone is often around to give them love and attention.
Training & Temperament
Thanks to their Poodle roots, Cavapoos are smart, eager to please, and quick to learn—making them a breeze to train. They respond best to positive reinforcement like treats, praise, and consistency, and are sensitive to tone and gentle guidance.
From potty training to basic commands, they pick up routines quickly and enjoy mental stimulation like tricks or enrichment games. Their easygoing, affectionate nature makes them an ideal choice for first-time dog owners or families looking for a well-mannered companion.
They’re so known for being:
Exceptionally affectionate
Naturally intuitive and emotionally attuned to their people
Friendly with kids and other pets
Health & Lifespan
Cavapoos are generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12–15 years. Still, as with any breed, it’s important to be aware of potential health concerns:
Ear Infections: Their floppy ears can trap moisture, so regular cleaning is key.
Hip Dysplasia: A condition that affects joint development—our parent dogs are screened to reduce risk.
Heart Conditions: Cavaliers can be prone to heart issues, so we prioritize health-tested lines and regular vet checkups.
Common Health Considerations:
While these are common health issues for Borderdoodles, Pacific Northwest Doodles has bred out these issues in our puppies. Let us know if you have concerns about your puppy’s health.

Grooming & Care
Cavapoos have soft, wavy to curly coats that are low-shedding but require regular grooming. A consistent brushing routine and professional trims every 6–8 weeks will help prevent matting and keep them looking their best.
Their moderate coat means they need a little extra care in extreme weather:
In winter, a cozy sweater or jacket can help keep them comfortable outdoors.
In hot climates, avoid long sun exposure and make sure they stay hydrated and cool.
City or Country?
They’re Happy Anywhere!
Cavapoos are adaptable and thrive in both urban apartments and country homes—as long as they have people around and opportunities to play. They tend to do great in multi-pet households, with proper introductions and socialization.

Predictable health and temperament
Health guarantees and lifelong support
Thorough early socialization and intentional matching
Whether you choose to adopt or purchase, what matters most is giving your Cavapoo a safe, loving, and committed forever home.
