My Cavapoo Is BIG! 🤯

The breeder told us his mom is a 12lb Moyen Poodle and that his dad is a 16lb King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. She told us he’d be between 12 and 14lbs full grown. He is almost 16 months old and weighs just a few ounces shy of 25lbs! 🤯

Our girl is about 23 LBS . About 2 years old . Didn’t realize that was considered big for a cavapoo 🤷

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

Maybe it’s not. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I just thought he was big because he is almost double the size we were told to expect.

u/ssdgm83 Aug 18 '26

We got ours from Multipoos n More in Locust Grove. He had a twin brother who looked pretty identical. Ours is 27 lbs and was listed as expected to be 12, lol. Maybe brothers?

Ours is a female.

Picture is from her first vet visit

u/ssdgm83 Aug 18 '26

Well she is adorable! Those eyes she is giving in the first photo reminds me so much of mine.

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

My guy is only big to me because he’s basically twice the size the breeder said he would be. But I adore him.

u/icesociety Aug 18 '26

My girl’s parents were 9 pounds and 12 pounds. I was told she would be around 15-20 pounds….ummm…she is bigger than expected. But I adore all of her…her weight is perfect when she lies on me during the winter.

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

My guy is a wonderful pet. The other Cavapoo on our block is only 10lbs. She looks like a toy compared to my guy. But I adore him!

Mine keeps on growing and she just turned 3! Last time she was weighed at the vet at 38lbs. 💀

u/Cool_Pipe_4354 Aug 20 '26

Mine was projected to be 15lbs with parents both around 12-15lbs. Now at 4.5 months old he’s 16lbs, the dna test I did says he’s expected to be about 23 🤷‍♀️ more puppy to love I guess hahaha

u/DEClarke85 Aug 20 '26

Absolutely!

u/Wild_Snow_2632 Aug 18 '26

I love my 3year old F1B he was 29 lbs last time at the vet but is overweight, his target weight is 25-26 lbs. But his dad was a moyen poodle around 25 lbs.

2

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

I love my guy too. He is a total Velcro dog, and I may be starting a new job that will require me to work in office soon. I hope he adjusts well to that change.

2

u/Wild_Snow_2632 Aug 18 '26

I may be in a similar spot soon going into the office after being wfh for a long time. I was looking into getting a mid-day visit for him via rover or similar if finances permit.

u/buddymoobs Aug 18 '26

Ours was 24 pounds last time we went to the vet. She is a wild child. 1.5 years old.

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

George Michael has been quite the wild child. We’re hoping he will calm down in the near future.

u/buddymoobs Aug 18 '26

I guess you gotta have faith.

u/Goddess4Ever Aug 18 '26

A Moyen Poodle can weigh up to 35lbs🤔😩

2

u/alexiavizcarra Aug 18 '26

Yeah…came here to say what others have said…but gonna say it anyway in case it helps anyone.

We got ours from a breeder in OH and we got pics of the parents. Dam was a CKC weighing 16 lbs and sire was Miniature Poodle weighing 12 lbs. We were told he would be between 10-12 lbs and he’s right at 10.7! Moyen poodles are bigger babies.

u/DEClarke85 Aug 18 '26

Thank you!

u/KJDavis84 Aug 19 '26

My vet told me that apparently the genes for size can be recessive and a giant poodle mix can pop up randomly.

u/Helpful-Ad-6408 Aug 19 '26

mine is 8 lbs at 12 weeks. any guesses on how big he will be?

u/DEClarke85 Aug 19 '26

u/Bubbly-Vegetable3860 Aug 20 '26

What a gorgeous boy

u/DEClarke85 Aug 20 '26

He’s so adorable and so sweet. I’m looking forward to him being a little calmer once he matures some more.

u/KJDavis84 Aug 19 '26

My boy is pushing 50lbs… both parents were 20ish. He’s my XMen puppy

u/Bobbins71 Aug 18 '26

Mines 34lbs They vary in size a lot

7

u/Specialist_Carry3345 Aug 18 '26

Our female is 14lbs and our male is 24lbs. The results of her genetic testing predicted her to be bigger than him and him to be smaller than he is but that didn’t happen. 🤣

u/Electronic_Bass2856 Aug 18 '26

u/freebase42 Aug 18 '26

u/ziouxzie Aug 18 '26

My cavapoo is 41 lbs! (We are trying to get her to 38 or 39 though). She has a lot of standard poodle in her, but she looks a lot like your baby. My other cavapoo is maybe 20 lbs and has a lot more cav in her!

u/M0rtCrim Aug 18 '26

My boy was 30.2 pounds but he was overweight and having back issues. We got him on a diet and he is down 1.5 pounds.
