David Anderson lives in Minnesota with with wife Rebecca and their Teddy Bear puppy Buddy. An avid dog lover his whole life, David has translated that passion into his writing. Growing up on a farm, David was exposed to all sorts of animals; raising Cattle, Sheep, Hogs, Horses, and Chickens, as well as caring for his families dogs and cats. "Some of my favorite memories as a child involve running through the pasture with my dogs, and lazy summer days spent lying in the grass with all the animals" Anderson said. "As a young boy I really wanted to be a veterinarian, and while I eventually chose a different path, my passion for animals never wore off." That passion for animals continued as he graduated college and started to make his way into the world. Mr. Anderson launched LP Media, a company that is dedicated to promoting and educating the public about the joys of pet ownership. The company started small, but quickly grew and now helps over a million pet owners every month. Anderson continues to write and search for ways to help other people who are contemplating the decision to become a pet owner. "My work is never done" he said. "I love helping other people and providing great resources that they can use to help better their lives, and the lives of their pets. I plan on continuing to create great products that help pet owners for as long as I can!"

Cavapoo Central
Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, in dozens (even hundreds) of different breeds, and each one is completely unique. Some dogs are known for their hunting ability or for their skills with herding livestock. Other dogs are bred for competing in dog shows or for use as therapy dogs. Some breeds are bred for nothing more than companionship and it is those breeds that make some of the best pets a person could ask for – the Cavapoo is one of those breeds. This breed is friendly, social, and people-oriented – the ultimate family pet! In this chapter, you will learn the basics about what the Cavapoo breed is like based on the two breeds from which it was developed.
a) What is a Cavapoo Dog?
The first thing you need to know about the Cavapoo is that it is not a pure breed. A purebred dog is simply a dog whose parents both come from the same breed. For example, a purebred Poodle would be a Poodle whose mother and father (dam and sire) are also Poodles. Dogs that are bred from more than one breed are known by a number of different names – mixed breed, crossbreed, even mutt. But when the crossing of two breeds is intentional, the offspring are called designer dogs. This is the case with the Cavapoo.
The Cavapoo is a mixed breed dog that results from the breeding of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small, gentle, and people-loving breed. The Poodle (which actually comes in three sizes – toy, miniature, and standard) is known for its curly coat and its intelligence. A Cavapoo exhibits qualities from both parent breeds, though not in a way that can be predicted. Genetics are very complicated so you do not get to choose which characteristics your Cavapoo will inherit from both breeds – you just have to wait and see.
Though you can’t predict exactly what the Cavapoo will be like as an adult dog, there are certain things you can expect. For example, most Cavapoos are bred from a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Toy Poodle or Miniature Poodle – this means that the Cavapoo will be a fairly small dog. You can also expect your Cavapoo to have a medium to long coat, either with or without a curl. Most Cavapoos are also very sweet by nature and they come in a wide range of different colors.
In order to really understand the Cavapoo, including its temperament and personality, you need to have an understanding of the two parent breeds. Keep reading to learn more about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle.
b) About the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (CKCS) has a regal name that matches its kingly appearance. These dogs are small in size but they have big personalities and beautiful long, flowing coats. CKCS dogs are one of the largest toy breeds, usually weighing between 13 and 18 pounds at maturity and standing 12 to 13 inches high when they are full grown. As a toy breed, these dogs have a fairly long lifespan averaging 10 to 14 years.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were bred to be companion animals and lap dogs – this is where their gentle, docile personality comes from. These little dogs are very loyal and they bond very closely with their human companions. These dogs have been known to follow their owners around the house day in and day out, always wanting to be a part of the action. These dogs also get along well with kids which makes them an excellent option as a family pet.
Though most Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are gentle and sweet, they can sometimes develop a bit of a stubborn streak. Unfortunately, sometimes these dogs have a reputation for being dumb or difficult, but it is really just a matter of socialization and training. The earlier you begin socializing and training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, the more well-adjusted and obedient it will grow up to be. Like many small breeds, these dogs can sometimes be a challenge to housetrain, but all it really takes is some time and consistency to make it work.
In terms of appearance, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a sturdy little dog with a silky, medium-length coat that has long feathering on the legs, chest, ears, feet, and tail. This breed sheds moderately and the length of its coat necessitates regular brushing and grooming to prevent tangles and to keep the coat in good health. These dogs come in four standard colors – Blenheim (chestnut and white), ruby (solid red), tricolor (black and white with tan points), and black and tan (black with tan points). These dogs should be brushed several times a week and they can be bathed every 2 to 4 weeks.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a fairly healthy breed with an average lifespan of 10 to 14 years, but they are prone to certain inherited diseases. Some of the conditions to which this breed is prone include degenerative mitral valve disease (MVD), patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, syringomyelia, and degenerative disc disease. This breed also sometimes has problems with ear infections due to its long, floppy ears – if the ear gets wet, moisture can become trapped in the ear canal which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. These dogs need vet checkups every 6 months to monitor their health and to keep up to date with vaccinations.

The Miniature Poodle is the middle size, standing 10 to 15 inches tall and weighing 12 to 15 pounds. The Toy Poodle is the smallest, standing 10 inches or under and weighing 5 to 10
