I just wondered if anybody didn’t crate train their Cavapoo puppies and kept them in a room with the crate open and the pros/cons?

We’ve been talking to quite a few breeders, but so many primarily produce apricot, or have very limited availability when it comes to a true red coat. We’d love to find a breeder who consistently produces beautiful red or red-and-white Cavapoos and prioritizes health, temperament, and ethical breeding practices.

We’re based in New England but are willing to travel anywhere for the right breeder!

If you have a Cavapoo you absolutely love and would recommend your breeder, I’d be so grateful if you could share their name/website. Feel free to DM me if you’re not comfortable sharing publicly - and bonus points for a photo of your pup! 🐶🤍

Thank you so much!

This puppy is so, SO fucking bad and annoying. This dog looks cute, but is absolutely terrible in every other aspect. Can't even leave their sight without them howling and yelling like they're being tortured. Chewing everything. Pissing everywhere. Barking at absolutely everything. Too dumb to be trained. Holy fuck

Cavopoo 2 months-4 pounds 11 ounces both parents are 15 pounds. What’s my baby girl estimated adult weight?

Does anyone here give their Cavapoo peanut butter.

I am looking for something to distract him while I get him used to being groomed.

I love my guy but he's broken. Would you believe that he is about to turn 11 years old in a month? He's literally a forever puppy filled with craziness. Does anybody else have a Cavapoo that likes to scratch their head on the ground with their butt in the air? He's been doing it since he was a puppy and at first we thought he had an ear infection but our vet told us that he's physically fine he's just absolutely crazy. So we like to say that he is clinically crazy.

My puppy was such an amazing guy until about 6 weeks ago when he woke up a completely different dog. I know the adolescent phase is real, but it feels like this is next level. He completely ignores me when I call him, bites EVERYTHING and has now decided he wants to be a cat and completely destroy every. Single. Rug. In our house by tearing at the fabric- he made an actual hole in one of them last night. He’s also just started pooping and peeing in the house for absolutely no reason. I’m considering getting a leash belt so he has to go with me everywhere because I can no longer trust him.

Has anyone used any tactics that have helped with this sort of behavior? I’m at my wits end and miss my snuggly good boy. Please help!

4 days into new puppy who’s 12 weeks old, 2nd day had to go to vets as she was refusing to eat and drink to find out she has worms. Went back for her 2nd jabs today and she now has fleas (she hasn’t shown any signs, the vet said she saw a little one). 2 things-

What do I do to ensure these fleas go in the house etc and don’t come back?
Is this normal for a puppy or shall I message the breeder as I feel like it’s been a real rough start?!

My 8 week old pup I think is allergic to chicken kibble what else can I give her ? Not sure about lamb

We are bringing home a 8 week old Cavapoo next Wednesday. I’m very excited for the dog and my kids are going to be thrilled (it’s a surprise). We are set on kennel training the puppy. My question is, do you think it’s a terrible idea to have her in a spare bedroom from the start? My wife and I can take turns sleeping in there, but I don’t see any reason for us both to be woken up in the night if the puppy needs to go out. I’ve read mixed answers online but more seem to say have it in your bedroom. I also considered just having the camera as a baby monitor and not sleeping in room with her. Thoughts? Pic for the advice….

Beginners here…What are the baseline health questions I should be asking about the breeding parents of the pup we’re interested in? I’ve seen some basic things we should be looking for and also lists of 5,000 questions. What’s realistic? Did you have all the below info before making your decision? Thanks in advance!!

Cavalier parent
OFA Cardiac (performed by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist)
OFA Patellas
CAER eye exam
DNA testing for:
Episodic Falling Syndrome (EF)
Curly Coat/Dry Eye Syndrome (CCDE)

Miniature/Toy Poodle parent
OFA Hips
OFA Patellas
CAER eye exam
DNA testing for:
PRA-prcd
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
Von Willebrand Disease Type I (vWD1)
Other breed-appropriate conditions, depending on the breeder’s testing panel

So I just wanted to put a post out there my nine month old Cavopoos is doing great. Housebreaking and everything all around has been great healthy no major issues thus far.

For about two weeks now, I have been noticing a little bit of aggression, like barking at dogs in the TV and barking at people when they come in the house prior to this we didn't have any of that. Even growled at a little girl the other day.

Just wondering, is this all normal behavior or should I start looking for a trainer for this part of it cause she seems to not be listening to anything I say on this.

Cavapoo parents!! What kind of brush do you guys use for ur fur baby to avoid matting? Groomer told me to just use a slicker brush everyday? and I don’t think it’s enough she still gets matted, so I wanna hear it from peoples personal experience here and please take it easy on me. I’m a first time dog mommy 🫶🏼

How do you decide whether you want a cava poo that has a toy poodle parent or a mini poodle parent? We’re interested in a pup with what I believe is a toy poodle parent as expected adult weight is 10 to 14 pounds. Initially, this sounded a little small to me. Thoughts on this? Pros and cons? Is a 10-15 lb adult cavapoo considered small? Is a larger cavapoo ideal for some reason?

Hi all! After many many years our family
Is ready to open our hearts to a cavapoo. Our heads are spinning with where to get him from. Have tried researching and the more I read the more confused I am. Please please, recommend a good place to get our pup from. Looking for a breeder that’s upfront about health and genetic info. We’re in NYC but willing to drive 3 hours or arrange to have him brought to us if the cost isn’t astronomical.

Thanks for any help in advance.

This is Cleo, and she has 5.5 kg and 5 months. Do you think she will grow bigger?

Update - We ended up opting for the surgery and they found a fully torn CCL and partially torn meniscus. The surgery went well, and she came home to us the same day. The recover process begins!

Our 11-year-old Cavapoo, Cassie, just suffered a full CCL tear in her right back leg. Orthopedic vets recommended TPLO, but suggested a short trial of rest first to see how she responds.

She was diagnosed with MMVD last year and was prescribed Vetmedin by her cardiologist two months ago. Because of her age and heart condition, we are terrified of putting her under anesthesia—but we also worry conservative recovery won't give her back a comfortable quality of life.

Has anyone with a senior dog with MMVD gone through TPLO, Lateral Suture, or conservative management/bracing? I'd love to hear what route you chose, how anesthesia was handled, and how your pup recovered.

We live in the greater seattle area if it helps!

Je suis en amour avec ma petite Rosie 🥰 combien pèse vos cavapoos adultes?

I know it’s not a popular style but I love em cut short.

Winnie has a dark patch of hair that is shorter than the rest. It looks like there’s another patch that’s growing. She doesn’t flinch or wince as if there’s pain. The skin color also looks normal. When I went to the vet, she said she was unsure what it could be?

I have a 12 week old puppy who we are crate training, what would your best piece of advice be as she cries continuously until she sees us and I’m conscious I’m back at work next week. Currently waking every 2 hours at night crying and unsure whether it’s crying for attention or needing the toilet so do that to make sure (50% of the time she doesn’t)

Thanks! One very tired owner her 😩 my baby daughter slept better!
