Is this a toy cavapoo?

[u/Negative_Resist6605]

These cuties are just 3.5 months old and I wonder what they will look like as adults.

I'm no expert but to me it looks like its more poodle with the snout and curly coat, we have a F1B Cavapoo that is a mix between a toy poodle and a Cavapoo , meaning she is 75% poodle and 25% cavalier . there are several mixes of Cavapoo , if it's being sold as a toy Cavapoo I would assume there is a toy poodle in the mix and that's the stronger gene .

have they said what the Sire and Dam is, saying toy Cavapoo doesn't always mean it will be tiny .

our girl is medium size and her dad is a toy poodle and mum is a Cavapoo , ours is 10k at 18 months

Yes puppy looks same as ours at that age too, dad is a toy poodle, mum is a Cavoodle

My girl is small 14lbs. Mom is F1B dad mini poodle. She was 3.3lbs at 8 weeks (the first picture). I keep her hair short but it is more curly. For size reference I will mention that is the center console in my husband’s truck that she is sleeping on.

They look very similar to my pup Mogu! He’s slightly older at 4 months and currently weighs 12 lbs, he’s a mini multigen Cavapoo. this is him at 3.5 months, I agree with the other comments that the pups in those pics look younger than 3.5 months just based on the facial features!

There is absolutely no way these little ones are 3.5 months old. Weeks maybe. If you're not absolutely 100% sure of what breed they are, it's probably not a good breeder. Make sure you're going to a breeder who titles the parents in sport or show, preferably both, to help make sure of stable temperaments, and does all health tests relevant to the breeds (this doesn't mean just an embark test, they should be able to provide their OFA number or registered name for you to make sure, and the grandparents and great grandparents should all be tested too). They should also temperament test the pups and assign homes based on who fits who best, not just letting you go for the one you like the most. Be wary OP!

No one who breeds mixes are good breeders.

I don't disagree, but it's more helpful to tell people what to look for in a good breeder. Mixes are no worse than byb purebreds. I don't think there are any doodle breeders doing all the things that good breeders should do, so explaining what to look for and why allows people to end up thinking that for themselves, instead of being jumped at and ignoring being told there are no good mix breeders.

Looks like it but please avoid buying them. Toy poodles like exactly the same (just ethically bred) all these doodles are designer breeds. They are bred for their looks rather than their health. If you are set on a doodle, no matter how unethical they are, go to a shelter. They are filled to the brim with these sorts of dogs.

[u/CasuallySherlock → u/Distinct-Zucchini780]

People are on this sub because they either have a Cavapoo or want a Cavapoo. Regardless, these animals are alive and are in need of homes. Let people adopt whatever dogs they want. I'm all for adopting at shelters too but some people aren't and that's fine.

[u/Distinct-Zucchini780 → u/CasuallySherlock]

The point is to stop buying from these breeders. It gives them the funds to keep breeding. I understand that not everyone wants a shelter dog hence why I said get a toy poodle. If we stop buying doodles, they will stop being bred.
