Mini Cavapoo: A Complete Guide
What is a Mini Cavapoo?
Mini Cavapoos, also known as Cavoodles, are an adorable hybrid of a Miniature or Toy Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This charming breed combines the best traits of both parent breeds to create a smart, loving, and hypoallergenic companion. The popularity of Cavapoos have soared because of their beautiful appearance, sweet nature, and suitability for families, individuals, seniors, and dog lovers of all ages.
I began breeding Cavapoos in 2006. I wanted to be a responsible breeder that focuses on health and DNA testing to reduce the chances of health issues in the lineage. To this day there is still a very small number of Cavapoo breeders like myself that go to such extremes to protect this breed with Health Testing and Socialization. I’m dedicated to breeding Cavapoos because they are so dear to my heart.

The Adoption Process
To begin the adoption process:

- Interact with Breeders on Social Media: Connect with breeders on social media platforms to observe how the puppies are cared for in their environment. Check out their reviews to make sure they are a legit breeder. (So many scammers are out there!)
- Expect that a Reputable breeder is NOT a puppy store, they do not allow visits in their homes with their families. Puppies are picked with videos, pics, and Facetime. They need to be sure that the puppies’ health and safety is the number one priority so bio security is extremely important to make sure that disease is not brought into the puppies’ space.
