As a mix between Cavaliers and Poodles, Cavapoos are sweet dogs that make great friends for kids, dogs, and other pets. Each pup’s personality will vary based on genetics and environment, but you can count on most Cavapoos to be loving dogs that stay glued to your side. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-25 pounds and stand 9-14 inches tall.

Cavapoos are generally excellent with children of all ages. Cavapoos make great companions for anyone, from small kids to older couples. They’re friendly with strangers and get along well with dogs and other pets too. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

The Cavapoo needs exercise every day but nothing too strenuous. They will be happy playing inside, walking, fetching, or paying a visit to the dog park. If your Cavapoo is interested, dog sports and games like agility and rally can be another good way to get their energy out. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

Cavapoos are known for their soft, Poodle-like coat, though a few have the Cavalier’s longer, silkier, wavy coat. These pups come in a wide variety of colors, including gold, black, white, Blenheim (brown and white), or tricolor (black, white, and tan). The Cavapoo’s shedding will depend on their genes, as those with Cavalier fur will shed more, while those with a Poodle coat will hardly shed at all. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Cavapoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. These dogs are the perfect size for apartments, but if they live in a house, they should primarily stay indoors and around people. They are fairly easy to train.
