Background of Cavapoo for Sale

Cavapoos are one of the few designer dogs with a documented history. Formal crosses originated in Australia.

Care

Cavapoos require the most care in the areas of affection and grooming.

Affection or Attention

King Charles Spaniels, the immediate ancestors of Cavaliers, were bred literally to be lapdogs. After failing as hunting dogs because of their tiny size and lack of stamina, they were tasked to warm laps. Your Cavapoo is not programmed to do well for any length of time without being near you. If you work long hours and cannot take your dog to work, a Cavapoo is not an appropriate pet for you. Another Cavapoo may prevent loneliness but will not substitute for the human affection and validation they crave. Cavapoos that are alone for excessive periods will become depressed and develop an anxiety disorder.

Grooming

The grooming of a Cavapoo depends on a couple of factors.

Type of coat she inherits
Whether you keep it short or leave it natural

Cavapoos usually have a long, soft coat with curls that are looser than those you see on purebred Poodles. Such a coat needs daily brushing. Some Cavapoos have strong waves in their coats, and they can often go a day between brushing. Occasionally, your Cavapoo will have the straight silky hair of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and you will only need to brush her twice a week. Many times if your Cavapoo has a typical curly or wavy coat, you may keep it clipped in a puppy or kennel cut. In this hairstyle, the fur on the body, legs, and feet is cut short. In one variation, the Teddy Bear cut, the hair on the head is rounded but otherwise left long. Dogs need a full grooming session every six to eight weeks. Those with continuously growing hair often get a bath every two to four weeks. You should always brush your dog when she is dry to prevent hair breakage. Additions to your grooming regimen are as follow. Cavapoo puppies for sale are just fluffballs with short hair all over, but you should get them accustomed to brushing and grooming at a young age. If you go with a professional groomer, contact them early.

Exercise

A Cavapoo is a mix between the Poodle’s liveliness and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s low stamina. Plan on providing 30 to 50 minutes of exercise for your dog. If your dog has any shortness to his face, avoid exercises outside when it is hot or humid. Otherwise, Cavapoos are tolerant of temperatures below 86 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other end of the spectrum, they do best in the winter if it is above freezing. Cavapoos, like any dog, require mental stimulation. You can replace a portion of the physical activities with interactive games and advanced training. If you still have a puppy, you should replace physically challenging exercises with training and socialization. Allow your young pup to achieve most of its strenuous muscle exercises through play.

Training

Your Cavapoo should be relatively easy to train. Sensitive and responsive, Cavapoos are eager to please you and obedient. A major challenge to overcome is your Cavapoo’s sensitivity. If you feel impatient, your best course of action is to skip training as your dog will quickly sense your impatience and frustration. Cavapoos may shut down learning when they feel negative vibes. Keep sessions with young puppies short and frequent. Some repetition is necessary, but find innovative training methods so as not to bore your Cavapoo.

They rank even higher in emotional intelligence and have the ability to learn from observation and experience. Socialization is imperative in Cavapoo puppies for sale as they can easily become shy and fearful without guidance.

This time frame gives them every possible chance to interact with their siblings and learn crucial points of canine etiquette.

Finally, pick puppies that look well-fed and clean and that are free of any discharge from the eyes or nose.

Mini Cavapoos, unlike similar breeds, represent the most popular size of the Cavalier x Poodle mix. Some breeders use an alternative-sized Poodle, the Moyen (recognized by a few registries and is between Miniature and Standard Poodle in size), and obtain Cavapoos between 25 and 40 pounds. These dogs are great for people who want a sturdier and more rugged Cavapoo. Yet another option for people who love miniature dogs, the Toy or Teacup Cavapoo is under twenty-five pounds. Many Teacups are five to ten pounds and under 10 inches tall. These dogs, like others of its size category, are susceptible to organ dysfunction (heart and kidneys) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
