The Cavapoo (American English) or Cavoodle (Australian English) is a crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle.

The cavapoo is speculated to have been first bred by designer dog breeders in Australia in the 1950s[1] as a companion dog with similar traits to the cockapoo, but at a smaller size.

Studies have shown that no breed is truly hypoallergenic but simply less likely to cause a reaction.

They are said to be a great choice for a family, and to be very intelligent and trainable.

Less desirable traits such as an urge to assert dominance upon other dogs and issues with potty training have been reported.
