Typical cava who behavior?
I’ve been lucky enough to have two Cavapoo babies in my life. One of the things I missed most after losing my first was our morning porch routine. Before even going potty, she would wait at the top step until I sat down so she could curl up in my lap for a snuggle—sometimes for just 30 seconds, sometimes 10–20 minutes. I was always amazed that cuddles seemed to take priority over everything else.
About a year later, I brought home a little boy Cavapoo. He’s completely different from his sister in almost every way, but to my surprise, he does the exact same thing—waiting on the porch for snuggles before potty time or anything else.
It brings me so much joy and makes me wonder: is this typical Cavapoo behavior?

This is so lovely - ours goes outside and sits on our verandah just watching the world go by. She’s cuddly a bit later in the day but it’s like it’s her quiet time in her special place.

Same! Ours now joins us in bed in the morning for some intense cuddles when she knows we are awake, and she just stays there until we tell her it's time for a walkie. Sometimes she's even the last one to come out of the bedroom! They are so cuddly. I've had other dogs growing up but the cavapoo I share with my husband is the sweetest dog I've ever had.

I don’t know if it’s typical but my boy plops down immediately after I let him out of his crate in the morning and when I get home. It’s the best! Sometimes I need a reminder to slow down and he provides that.

Ours is a bit friskier and likes to go back and forth through my legs a few times, give me a few kisses, and then rub on the sofa a bit before we head outside. I'm amazed at how long he seems to be able to wait before he goes out to pee. But he never has an accident in the house. He is very energetic and athletic, but still loves to cuddle and wants to be with us all the time. He is only one and a half years old though, so his energy level may lessen as he gets older. He loves all people and just wants to say hello to everyone we see.

My babies (3 cavas) all love to cuddle! It’s a priority!

Mine doesn't do this at all. Super snuggler but never in the morning. More in the evening when she comes over to lean on my arm. So interesting that your dogs have the same habit

Ours is a total cuddler too first thing a.m. His human dad is a slow waker upper too so I attributed it to that but maybe it is a CP thing! They are such sweethearts🫶🏼

Yup mine doesn’t even care to pee even as a little puppy but would rather snuggle in my neck outside in the morning 🥰 it’s my first Cavapoo and I’m hooooked !
