The cavapoo (also known as the Cavadoodle or Cavoodle) is a tiny dog breed with silky, curly or wavy fur that was developed in Australia from a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the poodle.
This affectionate and petite dog is noted for its companionable disposition, having parents from the AKC's toy and non-sporting divisions.
Cavapoos have grown in popularity in the United States over the last few decades, and they adapt well to most environments. These dogs' lively, easygoing nature make them an excellent choice for most families with children.
Cavapoos are well-suited to a range of lifestyles. They love to be in the company of their owners rather than in a kennel, so expect them to be giddy when you return home from a trip.
It's better to choose this breed if you want to spend a lot of time with them. Cavapoos are particularly loving with their family and have a gentle, tranquil demeanor when not exercising. Because of their lively attitudes, they may also be rather active.

In recent decades, American poodle mixes, especially the cavapoo, have grown in popularity.
These hybrids combine the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's pleasant disposition with poodles' hypoallergenicity and reduced shedding. Cavapoos were originally bred in Australia in the 1950s, despite their recent popularity.
