Cavapoo's are very well-known for their loving and devoted natures. They are extremely loyal to their families, loving nothing more than being involved with everything that goes on, whether you’re doing the ironing or trying to take a bath! Unfortunately, this does mean that many of this breed suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for too long. It’s therefore vital that someone is around most of the day to give them all the attention and love that they deserve. They are however extremely adaptable and have no trouble fitting in to most lifestyles. This and their size also means they can be kept in apartments and small homes, so long as they have walks every day to keep them fit and healthy. They get on really well with children, dogs and other animals too.

A cross between a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Cavapoo is a particularly cute-looking breed!  This was one of the first ‘designer dog’ breeds, and first appeared in America during the 1950s. They have gone from strength to strength in terms of their popularity and also because of their ‘low shedding coats’ making them an excellent choice for ‘hoomans’ who suffer from allergies. However, one thing to consider with any hybrid dog is that there is never any guarantee as to which characteristics they may inherit.
