The Cavoodle is a hybrid breed, a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and either the Miniature or Toy Poodle. The origin of this crossbreed is disputed. It was probably first bred intentionally in Australia in the 1950s and then exported to the United States. These charming dogs were first bred as a response to the growing demand for low-shedding, hypoallergenic family pets. They quickly gained popularity due to their friendly disposition and appealing appearance, and are now one of the most popular family pets in Australia, although they are still not recognised as a stable breed. They come in a variety of sizes, from miniature to small, and generally don’t grow to more than 12kg depending on the genetics of their parents.
Cavoodles typically possess a soft, wavy or curly coat that requires regular grooming to maintain its hypoallergenic qualities and prevent matting. However, not all Cavoodles are hypoallergenic, and some do shed. Their small to medium size makes them suitable for almost all homes, from apartments to houses with large backyards. Renowned for their intelligence and trainability, they excel in obedience training and agility sports. Their affectionate and sociable nature makes them excellent companions for families and individuals alike. Cavoodles thrive on human interaction and will form strong bonds with their owners. They are usually friendly towards other dogs and cats and are safe to have around small children.
The loving and affectionate nature of Cavoodles makes them sensitive to being left alone for long periods, and they can suffer from separation anxiety. They should be supervised around smaller animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits.
Most Australians can expect to pay between $20 and $60 a month for pet insurance. There are many factors that can influence the cost of pet insurance for your Cavoodle, including the following:
