Whether you’re thinking of borrowing one or getting your own, we’ve pulled together lots of fun and interesting facts you should know about the breed, courtesy of the Cavapoo owners in our community.
What is a Cavapoo?
A Cavapoo is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. They were originally bred in Australia in the late 1990’s, with the aim of creating a non-shedding dog that would be perfect for families.
How much exercise does a Cavapoo need?
Cavapoos require a moderate amount of exercise, making them the perfect breed for a variety of owners. To keep the breed healthy, it is recommended to give them one walk a day.

What is the temperament of a Cavapoo?
Cavapoos’ temperaments are said to be like their looks: gentle and loving. Their loyalty makes them the perfect dog for families and they absolutely adore children. Given they are a cross, their temperament can vary slightly based on their parents.
Walt is such a loveable dog - he adores cuddles, company, socialising and treats.
