Cavapoo
Adult Size: Depends on mix
Breed: Cavapoo (Poodle and King Charles Spaniel hybrid)
Breed Group: N/A

The Cavapoo is not a purebred dog, nor is it a recognized breed. Cavapoos are a hybrid or cross breed developed from the Poodle and the King Charles Spaniel. However, the cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC).

Though the Cavapoo cross can pull behavioral characteristics from both the Poodle and the King Charles Spaniel, the Cavapoo is best known for its playful attitude and poodle-like coat. These high-energy pups are also independent with a splash of sass.

When investigating a cross-breed, prospective buyers should research the behavioral characteristics of both parent breeds. Typically, poodles are dominant, energetic, intelligent and loyal. Meanwhile, King Charles Spaniels are spunky, submissive and loving.

In terms of health issues, veterinarians and breeders suggest that you ask about the dog’s risk for hip dysplasia, bloat, hypothyroidism, progressive retinal atrophy, mitral valve defect, epilepsy, cancers and patellar luxation.
