Temperament
The Cavoodle’s temperament highlights the best parts of the Cavalier and the Poodle, meaning they are gentle, intelligent, friendly and easily trained.
They love people and are sociable dogs. They are mostly relaxed, affectionate and not aggressive and make great pets for families and children.
Lifespan
13 - 16 years
Colours
Most common colours are Ruby (Gold or Red), Black, Apricot, Cream and Black and Tan but they also come in less common colours like Chocolate, Choc and Tan, Blenheim, Parti, Tri-Colour and Latte.
Maintenance and Grooming
The amount of grooming required will depend on what type of coat your Cavoodle has.
Cavoodle coats can be straight, fleece or curly.
All coat types will require some grooming.
If your Cavoodle has a non shedding coat they will also need to be clipped as the fur does not fall out.
Coats more like a poodle will need more maintenance and grooming than coats like a Cavalier.
We brush and comb our dogs every 2nd day and bath every 2 weeks. It’s very important to comb the coat through after a brush to make sure you don’t miss any knots or tangles. They need to be clipped approximately every 6 weeks from approximately 6 months of age. Their coats can be straight, fleece or curly. Straight coats are more likely to shed.

Cleaning Your Puppies Ears
It’s important to keep your puppy’s ears clean to prevent ear infections.
Keeping your dogs ears clean will also prevent a build up of dirt and wax.
You can buy ear wipes from places such a Petbarn.
Wipe out as much dirt and wax as you on a regular basis & make sure you dry inside your puppy’s ears after a bath.
How Big Do Cavoodles Grow
Cavoodles are a cross between a Cavalier King Charles and a Poodle.
As the Cavoodle is a combination of two breeds it’s hard to give a definite size.
Toy Cavoodles when fully matured usually weigh approximately between 4 - 8 kilos.
Miniature Cavoodles when fully matured weigh approximately between 8 - 12 kgs.
Sizes are approximately 25 - 38cms, although the height is dependent on which parent, the Poodle, Cavoodle or Cavalier, your dog takes after. Mostly Cavoodle’s weigh between 6 -10 kgs and are 30 - 35cm in height at shoulder.

In Poodles there is 3 sizes:

1st C3 and C5 vaccination at 6 - 8 weeks old. Your puppy will still need their: 2nd vaccination at 10 - 12 weeks. & 3rd vaccination at 14 - 16 weeks. Yearly Vaccine: After their 3rd vaccine they will still need an ongoing yearly booster shot.

Heartworm
You will need to give your puppy some sort of Heartworm preventative.
This can be either by vaccination administered by your vet or you can give your dog a monthly Heartworm treatment which is usually a chew, a spot on treatment or a tablet.
Speak to your vet about which Heartworm Preventative best suits your puppy.
Fleas
We prefer to use Advocate. Advocate treats puppies and dogs for Heartworm, Fleas and Worms.
There are a lot of flea preventatives out there.
Speak to your vet about which flea treatments best suit your puppy.
Ticks
Speak to your vet about a tick preventative especially if you live in a tick prone area.
Worming
When you pick up your puppy they will already of been wormed for Roundworm, Whipworm, Hookworm and Tapeworm.
We start worming puppies at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age.
You will need to continue worming your puppy at:
10 Weeks Old12 Weeks Old (3 months)4 Months Old 5 Months Old 6 Months Old After your puppy is 6 months old they should be treated for worms at least every 3 months for life. Alternately you can use Advocate every month for protection against most gastrointestinal worms, fleas and heartworm but you will need to worm separately for Tapeworm as Advocate doesn’t treat for Tapeworm. For Tapeworm we use Drontal which should be available from your vet. PLEASE NOTE: Drontal Worming Liquid does not treat for Tapeworm and neither does Advocate.

Desexing - The Medical and Behavioural Benefits
Desexing is important to prevent unwanted/unplanned pregnancies and to reduce the number of unwanted animals in the community.
Desexed animals are less inclined to roam and therefore less likely to get lost or be injured in an accident (e.g. hit by a car).
Research shows that desexed animals actually live longer. There are also important medical and behavioural benefits to consider, talk to your vet and discuss the benefits of desexing.
Medical Benefits of Desexing your Female Pet:
Pyometra Mammary TumoursMetritisOvarian CystsOvarian / Uterine / Vaginal neoplasia (tumours)
Pyometra:
Pyometra is an accumulation of pus/infection in the uterus and in some cases the infection can completely fill the uterus. It often occurs in female pets after oestrus ("heat") and is a potentially life threatening disease.
Pets with pyometra will become systemically unwell and show signs such as fever, depression, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting and increased drinking (polyuria).
Treatment is possible but major surgery is often required to remove your pet's uterus.
With oestrus, a major stimulant for pyometra, the risk of pyometra is drastically reduced in female pets.
Reduced risk of mammary tumours:
Just like breast cancer in human women, mammary tumours can be life threatening. There is a decreased risk of mammary tumours (neoplasia) for females if desexed before 5 - 6 months of age.
The risk increases from 8% after the first oestrous cycle (heat or season) to 26% after the 2nd cycle (Ogilvie, Moore 1995) so desexing prior to the first oestrous cycle is preferable.
Medical Benefits of Desexing your Male Pet:
Testicular tumoursProstate diseasesPerineal herniasPerianal adenomas
Testicular Tumours
Testicular tumours are eliminated in desexed male pets because the testicles are removed during castration (sterilisation).
Prostate Diseases
The risk of prostate diseases including hyperplasia, prostatitis, and infection which can lead to abscess formation, can be reduced by desexing your male pet.
Without the male hormone testosterone that is produced within the testicles, the male prostate gland does not develop as normal.
With very little prostatic tissue present, a male pet is less at risk of developing prostate disease.
Behavioural Benefits
Behavioural problems can have medical implications. For example a wandering male dog is more likely to be involved in an out of home accident such as a motor vehicle accident.
Here are a few of the important behavioural benefits of desexing:
* Helps to control male dominance aggression problems.* Reduces the instinct to wander and seek female partners for male dogs.* Reduces male territorial marking and resulting odours.
Talk to your local vet for more advice.
