Generally Cavapoos, like their parents, have sweet expressions and solid small bodies. Their coat is long, wavy or curly, and they are ether.

Colour: Blue, grey, silver, brown and lay-back cafe, apricots and creams. This is the most tasteful tone of a Poodle’s muted colour. Or it could be found in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels’ rich browns and black.

How big do Cavapoos get?

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are usually no more than about 12–13 inches high at the shoulders.

Tipping the scales at 13–18 pounds, they are categorised as a toy breed.

But whether your other parent was a toy or a miniature poodle will be a major determiner of your adult Cavapoo puppy’s size. Miniature Poodles normally weigh between 10 to 15 centimetres high and 10 to 15 pounds on the shoulders.

The Poodle toy is less than 10″ high and weighs only 6 Pounds. The weight and height of the Cavapoo can vary, but the general rule is to look at their parents’ measurements. You can expect the range of parents to cover.
