Cavoodles are known for their friendly and sociable temperament. They are affectionate, loyal, and eager to please, making them excellent family pets.

Their playful nature allows them to get along well with children and other pets. Additionally, they possess a gentle disposition, which makes them ideal therapy dogs.


Typically, cavoodle dogs are small to medium-sized, depending on whether they are bred from toy or miniature Poodles. They have a soft, curly coat that may vary in texture. Their expressive eyes and floppy ears add to their endearing appearance. Cavoodles are intelligent and trainable, making them suitable for first-time dog owners.

The average lifespan of a cavoodle is around 12 to 15 years. With proper care, including regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and ample exercise, they can live a long and healthy life.

Cavoodles come in a variety of colors, including apricot, cream, black, and brown. Some may have a mix of colors, often displaying beautiful patterns that make each dog unique.

One of the appealing aspects of cavoodles is their low shedding nature. Their curly coat traps loose hair, which makes them a good option for allergy sufferers. Regular grooming is essential to prevent matting and maintain their coat's health.


While generally healthy, cavoodles may be prone to certain health issues inherited from their parent breeds, such as hip dysplasia and heart problems. Regular veterinary visits and a healthy lifestyle can help mitigate these risks.

A balanced diet is crucial for cavoodles. High-quality dog food tailored to their age, size, and activity level is recommended. Owners should consult with a veterinarian to determine the best dietary plan for their specific dog.

Cavoodles were developed in Australia as a designer breed, aiming to combine the affectionate nature of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities of the Poodle.

Their popularity has surged due to their friendly demeanor and adaptability.


Cavoodles are known for their versatility; they adapt well to various living situations, whether in apartments or larger homes. They thrive on companionship and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy.
