The Ultimate Guide to Cavapoos: Everything You Need to Know About This Adorable Breed
Cavapoos come in a delightful array of shapes and sizes. Their varying sizes can sometimes lead to confusion among prospective owners, especially those who are unfamiliar with the breed. Understanding the factors that influence Cavapoo size can help you choose the perfect companion for your lifestyle and living situation.
Let's explore the different sizes of Cavapoos and what to expect from each.
Factors Affecting Cavapoo Size
Parental Genetics: The size of the Cavapoo's parents plays a significant role in determining the size of the offspring. If a Cavapoo is bred from a smaller Poodle parent and a smaller Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent, the resulting puppies are likely to be smaller in size.
Generation: Cavapoos can be first-generation (F1) or higher generations, such as F1b or multigenerational. The size of the Cavapoo may vary depending on the specific breeding, as subsequent generations may exhibit more consistency in size traits. As we breed multigenerational cavapoos we are able to hone in on the specific size traits we are desiring.
Individual Variation: Just like humans, dogs have their unique genetic makeup, which can lead to variations in size even within the same litter. Some Cavapoos may take after one parent more than the other, resulting in differences in size among siblings.
