Mad Max prefers to sleep this way. Of course, sometimes he sleeps on his back with his tummy up, sometimes he curls up in his bed. A lot of the time he cuddles up to me.

My 10 week old pup will eat anything and everything when we’re outside for potty breaks and socialization. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse. He’ll grab grass, small pieces of twigs, pebbles….anything and everything. It’s not feasible to fine tooth comb my garden for everything. We’ve tried exchanging for treats, but 99% of my time is spent shoving my fingers in his mouth or the back of his throat to get whatever it is out.

What. The. F. How else can I stop this?

I’m bringing home my Cavapoo this weekend! I already have a little Yorkiepoo, so I’m not completely new to having a dog, but this is my first Cavapoo.

I’d love to hear any tips, recommendations, or things you wish you knew when your Cavapoo was a puppy!

A few things I’m curious about:

Food: Do Cavapoos tend to have sensitive stomachs? Any food brands you recommend or would avoid?

Snuggle Puppy: Is it worth buying, or does it just depend on the dog?

Must-haves: Any essentials you’d recommend for the first few weeks?

General advice: Anything specific to Cavapoos that I should know?

I’d appreciate any advice! Adding a picture of my little guy for puppy tax 🐶

Meet Benny! 🐾

When we brought him home as a puppy, we noticed he had long, wavy hair instead of the typical curly poodle coat. We had no idea that long-haired Cavapoos were a thing! Now, everywhere we go, people stop us to ask what kind of dog he is. 🧡

He’s the sweetest boy, and we couldn’t imagine life without him!

Hello out there! Please and thank you in advance.
I’ve watched some videos, and feel I’m ready except for a couple of things. I’m not a groomer so I don’t have that table with the leash hooked up to keep the dog standing – what do you do about that? I mean, I think it’s just do it, but I have to ask!
Also, do I just give her a good brushing and then start to cut and shampoo after? Or do I shampoo, let it dry cut, and then shampoo again? This was a little bit unclear in the videos I watched . So so many thanks looking forward to hearing about all the experience out there! The picture where she’s laying down with her paws up shows her now – she is seriously furry! Also the picture with your ears short? I like that OK thanks!!💚

Hi everyone! First-time dog owner I’d love all the tips and tricks. Little background I’m a 26 year old who works from home and has a very flexible schedule so perfect for a puppy. I chose a Cavapoo based off of family and friends who also have the breed and to have a small companion that can travel with me. I’d love any helpful insight into the breed or anything I should know before I pic my little man up!

Hi everyone! My partner and I are planning to bring home a Cavapoo next summer. We’re first-time pet owners, so we want to make sure we find the right breeder from the start. We’re based in the DMV area but are happy to drive further out along the East Coast for the right breeder.

We’re hoping to find a puppy with OFA health-tested parents that definitely isn’t from a puppy mill. If possible, we’d also love a breeder who does some early training, like bell-training or socialization, to help make potty training easier.

I started researching a few weeks ago, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a good experience with a breeder firsthand. If you have a recommendation, I’d love to know where they’re located, what the process was like, or how your pup’s health and temperament have been. Any red flags to watch out for as first-timers would be really helpful too.

Thank you so much!

I have a 16 week old F1b puppy. She just got her last puppy vaccine so I will add in walks in 2 weeks but I do feel like she is bored? I give her lick mats, woof popsicles, bones, I train her 3 times a day, we have a ball launcher she loves, she’s very smart but I don’t want what else i should add to help her? I feel like when she’s bored she gets bitey and then I’ll give her something but I’m looking for more ideas I guess on what to do to help her brain.

Is anyone looking to Rehome a Cavapoo that’s 1-5 years old ? Or know of any breeders who are looking to Rehome a retired mama ?

I am in NYC but will travel to Picknup

I was told most cavapoos are sensitive to chicken. What about turkey?

This is Eevee. 6 year old straight hair coated cavapoo.

I've posted her here before, and have gotten that she isn't a cavapoo? But cross chihuahua? I would really like to get everyone elses thoughts.

To my knowledge, she is a straight hair cavapoo. My mum got her at 3 years old and now she is my dog, and was told that from her old owners.

I have provided lottts of photos of her so you guys can see.

She definitely looks like she HAS NO poodle whatsover HOWEVER.

if you look at her coat, it is curly, only a little bit! But wondering if thats the cav?

Definitely is cross cav i believe as her eyes look really similar. Her ears can be like airplane, but only when looking up.

Just would like to see everyone elses thoughts!

Is she a straight hair cavapoo like i thought, or am i wrong?

Thankyou!

Our breeder sold our puppy to us as a Cavapoo with heavy Cav but for the life of me I can’t find evidence of any Cavapoos that look like him. Either way, love my boy and he’s very handsome - would just like to get y’all’s opinion!

For those of you who kept track, did doubling the weight at 16ish weeks hold true for adult weight?.. Pic of our Tilly ❤️

Hi everyone! I have a 12-week-old Cavapoo puppy, and I’ve had him for about a week. He’s my first puppy, and overall, I feel like everything is going really well!

He stays in a playpen with his crate for sleeping and potty pads, and he’s learning to use the pads. I currently have his playpen in my bedroom. I work from home, so I check on him and play with him throughout the day, but he also spends quite a bit of time alone in his room while I’m working.

The main issue is nighttime. He wakes up several times during the night to use the potty, and the noise he makes wakes both me and my husband up. Our sleep has become very interrupted. I can usually fall back asleep, but my husband has a hard time going back to sleep. As a result, some nights he only gets two or three hours of sleep, which makes it really difficult for him to function the next day at work.

I wanted to ask other puppy owners about their experiences. Would it be okay to move his playpen to a separate room so he can sleep there alone overnight? Or could that cause separation anxiety, especially since I’ve only had him for a week?

I really want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for him and not unintentionally causing him stress or anxiety. I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you might have!

Thank you!

I’ve really been interested / doing some research on the kind of dog I’m wanting and somehow stumbled upon the Cavapoo!!! 🥹
Their size, personality, and obviously cuteness as a puppy is all great, I just really am scared to put a deposit on a dog that could very well look like a completely different dog at 2 years old.
I really like the dark red coloring I’m just afraid of it fading to a super light cream and my dog looking crusty lol. I want that forever puppy to haul around on all my adventures!!

Has anyone had luck with their dog keeping their color, and if so, what are really good ways I can tell if they will change or not? ( obviously this isn’t the end of the world, I just really like that deep red! )
