Cavapoos first originated from the united states, also called Cavadoodle and the “hybrid” (the crossing of two breeds). They have become the latest designer dog to hit britain, with their charm and popular low shedding coat.
Their appearance takes on the Cavaliers stance and the poodles coat brings the wavy “shaggy” look and typically long droopy ears, they almost are crossed with a toy or miniature poodle, here at Blackberry Pups we always cross Cavalier to Toy Poodle, the average size of a Cavapoo is around 10″ floor to neck.

This is mine and Steve’s favourite cross, as they are small and easy to fit in with most families, from toddlers to teenagers. Their personality is very endearing and they will be happy to make friends with any visitor cat or dog in your home. They require little exercise a nice enclosed garden, is suitable or a brisk daily walk is sufficient.
