The Cavoodle or Cavapoo is a mixed dog breed, of designer dog type, between a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It became particularly popular through crossings in Australia in the late 1990s. The Cavoodle has since become one of the most popular dogs in Australia. They are raised to be small, healthy dogs, outgoing, with a coat that sheds little, who get along well with children. This popularity is due to its temperament, its robustness and its low weight.
