CAVAPOO INFORMATION The Cavapoo is not a purebred dog, but is the result of breeding two purebred dogs (of different breeds) together. Some call them "hybrids" or "designer dogs." The Cavapoo is the result of breeding the Poodle with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Poodles are popular as a purebred and also for crossing with other breeds. They are an intelligent and playful dog with a non-shedding coat which comes in a variety of colors and in three recognized sizes. (Usually the toy or miniature is used in producing the Cavapoo). The Cavalier (as it is affectionately called) is a gentle, affectionate, happy dog. The breed comes in four colors; ruby, black and tan, blenheim (white with ruby spots) and lastly, black and white with tan points. The Cavalier does not normally carry a heavy coat, but it is long along the belly, tail, leg feathering and around the ears. The Cavapoo is a wonderful combination of both breed,s coming in a variety of colors and sizes( depending on the parents of course) with a low to a apartment living, but enjoying a romp in the backyard if that's available. One thing is certain, Cavapoos are people dogs and want to be with their family! If you're looking for a backyard ornament and don't have time for a Cavapoo, you might consider a birdbath instead:) There is also something called "hybrid vigor" (or heterosis) where supposedly when breeding two different animals with different genes pools it is possible to strengthen the genetic makeup of the resulting offspring and making the usual problems for each particular breed not as prominent. Here's something about it from Wikipedia. "Heterosis is a term used in genetics and selective breeding. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor or outbreeding enhancement, is the increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring. It is the occurrence of a genetically superior offspring from mixing the genes of its parents." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis) Most purebred dog breeds have certain health issues that may affect them. So we hope that be crossing the two breeds we will produce a healthier dog, without the prevalent health issues that a purebred is prone to. We hope that you will decide the Cavapoo is just the right dog for you. |
