Cavapoo
Health concerns
A 2025 study on the epidemiology of acute diarrhea in dogs under primary veterinary care included statistics on the types/breeds most likely to suffer diarrhea and placed Cavapoos atop the list as the most likely to suffer from this health problem. The Royal Veterinary College at the University of London has also reported that Cavapoos, like other Poodle hybrids, are more prone to tick infestation because of their "curly poodle-type coats."
Cavapoo
The Cavapoo (American English, British English) or Cavoodle (Australian English) is a crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle.
History
The Cavapoo was one of many Poodle crossbreeds to emerge during the "designer dog" craze of the late 20th century. This particular hybrid originated in Australia, and gained greater attention there after several notable Australians adopted Cavapoos, including then-Prime Minister Julia Gillard and television personality Tiffany Scanlon. Breeders hoped to combine the intelligence and hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle with the friendly disposition and small size of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
