Toy black Cavapoo Puppies for sale in Oakham, Rutland

The Cavapoo — a charming mix between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle, also known as the Cavoodle — combines the affectionate nature of the Cavalier with the intelligence and low-shedding qualities of the Poodle. Their coats range from soft and wavy to curly, in colours such as gold, black, white, or tri-colour, and they are often suitable for allergy sufferers. Petite but sturdy, Cavapoos thrive as loving companions for families, first-time owners, and anyone seeking an affectionate, playful, and people-focused dog.

Cavapoos differ by generation, such as F1, F1b, F1bb, and F2. F1 Cavapoos are a 50/50 mix of Cavalier and Poodle, with coat types ranging from wavy to curly and low shedding, though hypoallergenicity can vary. F1b Cavapoos — bred from an F1 Cavapoo and a Poodle — have around 75% Poodle genetics, resulting in curlier, more hypoallergenic coats and slightly higher energy levels. F1bb Cavapoos, created by breeding an F1b Cavapoo with a purebred Poodle, are around 87.5% Poodle and typically the most hypoallergenic, with tight curls and minimal shedding. F2 Cavapoos come from two F1 parents and can show more variation in appearance, coat type, and shedding levels.

Across all generations, Cavapoos are known for their warm temperament, intelligence, and enthusiasm for play and human interaction. They require regular grooming, mental stimulation, and appropriate daily exercise to stay happy and healthy.
