About the Goldendoodle Breed
Goldendoodles came along during the 1990's after the popularization of Labradoodle breeding. The Goldendoodle was bred to see if the gentle nature of the Golden Retriever and the allergy friendly coat of the Poodle would produce a good genetic combination. This cross results in "hybrid vigor" which is the phenomenon that the first cross between two unrelated purebred lines is healthier and grows better than either parent line. The Goldendoodle is a good-natured family pet and they tend to be allergy friendly and have low to non-shedding coats.
Goldendoodles are extremely social, outgoing, non-aggressive dogs that thrive on human companionship. They have a great desire to please and to learn. Coupled with the low to non-shedding coats, this temperament has proven to make Goldendoodles perfect candidates for service work.
About the Cavapaoo Breed
Popularized in the late 1990’s, the Cavapoo (also called Cavoodle or Cavadoodle in some circles) is a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle! This cross is a smaller/miniature breed, generally between 12-18 lbs. They’re gorgeous, fun-loving, and have big hearts.
They love to run, and adapt very well to different living environments, making them perfect for nearly any home. Their coat quality can vary since Poodle coats are curly, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel coats are very straight, but generally if they are more “Poodle,” then they are more curly/wavy and hypoallergenic.
Cavapoos are known to be very loyal, and are looking for someone to be their very best friend. Some even say they’re clingy, but who can resist such a cute teddy bear face? They’re sociable, loving, and don’t make good guard dogs as they’re usually super friendly and gentle with all they come in contact with.
