Cavoodle Information
What is a Cavoodle? – Information about this amazing breed

If you’re searching for an adorable, family-friendly dog that’s intelligent, affectionate, and low-shedding, you’ve probably come across the Cavoodle. But what exactly is a Cavoodle, and why has this breed become one of Australia’s most popular designer dogs?
At Bredwell Puppies, we specialise in breeding healthy, well-socialised Cavoodles, and in this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about this wonderful breed.
Why are Cavoodles So Popular in Australia?
Cavoodles have become one of Australia’s favourite dog breeds due to their adorable appearance, loving temperament, and suitability for various lifestyles. Whether you live in an apartment in Sydney, a house in Melbourne, or on a property in regional Australia, Cavoodles adapt well to different living environments.
Here’s why they’re loved by so many Aussies:
🐾 Great with kids and other pets – Their gentle and affectionate nature makes them ideal for families.
🐾 Perfect for small spaces – Cavoodles don’t require a large backyard, making them great for apartment living.
🐾 Easy to train – Their intelligence and eagerness to please make training a breeze.
🐾 Minimal shedding – Thanks to their Poodle genes, Cavoodles shed less than many other breeds.
Cavoodle Size & Appearance
Cavoodles vary in size depending on whether they have a Toy Poodle or a Miniature Poodle parent. Here’s a general guide:
- Toy Cavoodle: 25-33 cm in height, 4-8 kg in weight.
- Mini Cavoodle: 30-38 cm in height, 8-12 kg in weight.
They have soft, wavy or curly coats that come in various colours, including:
🎨 Red, Apricot, Cream, Chocolate, Black, and Tricolour.

Are Cavoodles Hypoallergenic?
While no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic, Cavoodles are considered low-shedding thanks to their Poodle ancestry. This makes them a great option for allergy sufferers, especially those sensitive to pet dander.
Regular grooming and brushing will help keep their coat healthy and reduce shedding.
Cavoodle Temperament & Personality
Cavoodles are known for their sweet, affectionate, and intelligent nature. They thrive on human companionship and love being part of the family.
🐶 Friendly & Social: They love meeting new people and get along well with other pets.
🐶 Affectionate: Cavoodles love cuddling and being close to their owners.
🐶 Energetic but Adaptable: They enjoy playtime and walks but are also happy to relax indoors.
🐶 Loyal & Intelligent: Easy to train and eager to please.
Training & Exercise Needs
Are Cavoodles easy to train? Absolutely! Thanks to their high intelligence and eagerness to please, Cavoodles are one of the easiest breeds to train.
📌 Basic Training Tips:
✔️ Start early with socialisation and obedience training.
✔️ Use positive reinforcement (treats, praise, and affection).
✔️ Be consistent and patient.
✔️ Crate training helps with housebreaking.
How Much Exercise Do Cavoodles Need?
Cavoodles have moderate energy levels, meaning they need:
🐾 30-60 minutes of daily exercise (walks, playtime, or interactive toys).
🐾 Mental stimulation (training games, puzzles, or agility activities).
🐾 Social interaction – they love spending time with their family.
Health & Lifespan
Cavoodles are generally healthy dogs with a lifespan of 10-15 years. However, as with all breeds, they can be prone to some genetic health conditions inherited from their parent breeds.
Common Cavoodle Health Issues:
✔️ Mitral Valve Disease (MVD): A common heart condition in Cavaliers.
✔️ Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA): An eye disease that can lead to blindness.
At Bredwell Puppies, all our parent dogs are DNA-tested to minimise genetic health risks, and we provide a 3-Year Genetic Health Guarantee on all our puppies.
