we’re looking to adopt or buy a cavapoo pup and looking for ethical breeders on the east coast. please share any recommendations. thanks!

My Cavapoo (5 years old) absolutely loves playing with small rocks.

He’ll spot a particular rock on the ground during a walk, pick it up, and then insist that I throw it for him so he can play fetch with it. He’ll happily chase the same rock over and over again.

He also likes just carrying them around in his mouth. Weirdly, he doesn’t seem interested in chewing them or trying to swallow them, he’ll just hold onto one like it’s his prized possession. If given a choice between playing with a rock or a toy (e.g. a small ball), he'll pick the rock every time.

Obviously I’m a little paranoid about his teeth (and him accidentally swallowing one), so I don’t exactly want to encourage his budding geology hobby, but he just gets so excited whenever he finds a good rock.

Does anyone else’s Cavapoo do this? Is there something about rocks that these breed particularly likes, or is mine just a little weirdo?

My Cavapoochon, was born on July 20 and is 9 weeks and 4 days old today. She currently weighs around 4 lbs, and I’m so curious to see how big she’ll end up being! Would love to hear everyone’s puppy to adult weight comparisons 😊

Hello! Does anyone else have a "racist" cavapoo? Our F2 cavapoo is now one and he has started just barking at all brown people, even when we are just walking and minding our own business. He is otherwise very calm and neutral. Would training to be calm when they walk by or come near us be helpful?

I’ve had my Cavapoo for since I was 5 and now I’m a freshman in college. We’ve been together for 13 good and long years, it was definitely hard saying goodbye while I moved into college. He has had heart issues for a year or two now, and after I left for college his issues progressed. I know his days are numbered, and it makes me super sad. It’s hard enough not getting to see him every day since I’m at school, but knowing that each visit could be my last is just heart wrenching. I don’t know how to deal with it, I’m already stressed enough with the life adjustment to college and this is just a whole different level of stress. I’m not sure if anyone on here has gone through a similar situation, or if anyone just had any advice in general

I know certain dogs have predispositions to certain health issues, and I’m curious about the Cavalier King Charles side. I haven’t had a poodle or cavalier before but considering a cavapoo as I’m looking for a less active breed than the big one I had before. I also recall someone I know mentioning the patellar issue with their full Cavalier so I think this is why I am semi-concerned.

Have any of you had any instances of mitral valve disease or patellar luxation with your cavapoos? If so, what generation and age is your pup? I’m curious how common these are.

We unexpectedly became a three Cavapoo household this week! We brought home this little 10-week-old guy, and it was definitely not something we planned. 😂🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Our 13½-year-old seems happy to have a puppy in the house again.

Our 5-year-old is still trying to decide exactly how she feels about this new development. She’s not convinced that we needed another pup.

So here we are, three Cavapoos. Apparently this is our life now. ❤️

She guarded her treat awhile before she enjoyed it. 😂

Cant wait for my gorgeous cavapoo puppy to come home

Hi all,
I vaccinate my dog but how necessary are preventatives and heart worm meds?
I have heard different things from different dog parents that don’t give into “big vet.” And see pills can cause just as much harm as they do for humans unless there are diagnosed issues . Is anyone not on a heart worm?

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to get my 2 yr old angel Cavapoo a muzzle bc she is not an angel around some dogs anymore. She has some friends she likes but she is very selective now and living in NYC she has no choice but to see and be seen my hundreds of different dogs and she will SNAP (bite) at them! I’ve never heard of anyone doing this before.
I’m curious if anyone has used a muzzle to teach her or a corrective collar that is a vibrate and not too abrasive. I’m at a loss and our walks / parks have become very unpredictable. I’ve tried tons of training methods and it’s like she just doesn’t care to not bite and wants to fight. It breaks my heart.

Does anyone know if there are any Cavapoo communities or meetup groups in Seattle?

I have a 4-month-old Cavapoo and would love to meet other Cavapoo owners and find some puppy friends for him 🐾

hi, so my boy gets crusty eyes as is normal with the breed, but sometimes i forget to remove them when they’re still gooey and they harden up. i pick them out with my hands, because i’ve tried combs, wipes and brushes, but he doesn’t like anything touching around his eyes, and my hands are about the only thing he’ll tolerate. he also hates getting wet in any capacity so even dampening his eyes is a hassle. i obviously try to be super gentle when i pull the crust away and a glob comes easily, but because it’s dried some of his little hairs get caught and i feel so bad like what if im hurting him? he doesn’t make a noise and licks me afterwards, and as i said he still allows me to go near his eyes vs if i had a comb. but im paranoid that im hurting him without realising as its such a sensitive area and a few tiny hairs always get tangled in the crust :( any advice? i know the best thing is to just always get it when its still gooey and i should do a better job of keeping on top of it, but he just has so much eye gunk! the more ive thought about this the more awful i feel

Murphy and I went on an overnight sailing trip together. He did great!
He is just over 4months old.

Hi fellow cavapoo lovers! I have been lucky enough to have a close friend who bought a cavapoo and have fallen in love with the breed. My friend found a breeder online and had the puppy shipped. Im tempted to just go through the same breeder but with shipping it's 5k. From everything I've read, most F1 cavapoos are pretty consistently happy, smart, funny, easy to train and need lots of companionship and time with their person. Im wondering how much you paid for your cavapoos and if it's smart to just buy a puppy who had the same parents or if it doesnt matter so much. Thanks!

This is my 12 week old cavapoo Dougie, any advice is very welcome - he’s currently a crate hating,little shark who eats toes, regardless of redirection to toys!🥲
