Breed Info for Mini Red Cavapoo F1b

THE CAVAPOO BREED

Cavapoos are a blend of the loving and loyal King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, and the Toy Poodle. They inherit the Poodle’s high intelligence and trainability. They are healthy, sturdy, small dogs.  They are very popular due to their exceptional temperaments and robustness.

All designer dogs are special in their own way. But, not as many are adorable as the F1b Cavapoo. The sweetheart among the Doodles, the designer Cavapoo breed is becoming more popular around the world. They are especially well liked for their teddy bear face.

The F1b Cavapoo is bred to get a better, hypoallergenic and non-shedding version of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle. Having 75% poodle and 25% Cavalier, the F1B are favored by many. They typically have curlier coats that should not shed, or hardly shed at all. They are more allergy-friendly. Thanks to the Poodle genetics, their legs might be slightly longer, they can be a bit more active, and are highly intelligent.

F1 Cavapoos (50/50) are more common, and they are a good mix of both breeds in terms of health and temperament. However, there is a chance that the F1 Cavapoo can be a shedder. It totally depends on which coat the puppy inherits. If the puppy has more of a straight wavy coat then it will shed just like a Cavalier will (like our 50/50 Cavapoo Dam Roxy.)  On the flip side, if the coat is curly like a Poodle then the puppy will be low to non shedding (like our Dam Ruby)

Rosie’s pups are designer F1B Toy Cavapoos.

·       The Dams are F1 Cavapoos (50% Purebred Poodle and 50% King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.)

·       The Male Sire is 100% Purebred Poodle.

·       The Dams each weigh ten to thirteen pounds, and the Sire weighs six pounds.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of today is the direct descendant of the small Toy Spaniels seen in many pictures of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Originating in the United Kingdom, Toy Spaniels were commonly kept as pets of the Royal families during the Tudor times. Their main purpose being to provide companionship and warm the laps of the Ladies of the Court. Thus the Cavalier acquired the nickname "The Comfort Spaniel". Many ladies would hide their Spaniel under their skirts and could often be seen riding in carriages with a Spaniel or two curled up on their lap.

​

It was because of King Charles II and his love of the little dog, that they were given the Royal title of King Charles Spaniels. It was said that King Charles II was seldom seen without a few Spaniels at his heels. During the early part of the 18th century, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough kept red and white King Charles Spaniels. They were well known for their sporty qualities as well as being companions. His estate was named Blenheim in honor of his victory at the Battle of Blenheim. Because of this influence, the red and white variety of King Charles Spaniel became known as the Blenheim

​

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniels wasn't recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1995. The royal breed has risen in popularity ever since and is now the number 17th most popular pure breed in the USA. The Cavalier is one of the most affectionate dogs you will meet. They are extremely patient, eager to please, playful and good with most dogs and children. Cavaliers adapt quickly to almost any environment, family, and bond deeply with their family. They are naturally curious, and have a happy-go-lucky, zest for life. It's hard to feel sad when you have a Cavalier by your side. There are four official colors: the Blenheim, Tri, Black and Tan, and Ruby Cavalier. The Cavalier weighs between 12-18lbs and stands between 12-13 inches in height.

Poodle

Although the Poodle is the national dog of France, the Poodle actually originated in Germany. The breed name comes from the German word "pudel" or "pudelin", which means "to splash in the water". In France, the breed is called "Caniche", French for "duck dog". The Poodle was named after splashing water because they were originally bred to be water retrievers (The Poodle has many talents other then their stylish looks!). Their job was to bring ducks and other birds back to their masters. Poodles still love water to this day and you can see many Poodles (and Doodles) swimming in pools and playing in backyard sprinklers. We only use Toy Poodles to be the parents of our Cavapoo puppies. But Poodles actually come in four different sizes including: Standard, Miniature, Medium (also known as Moyen), and Toy. Regardless of size Poodles are an active breed who enjoy playtime, stimulation and training. Their eagerness to please also makes them an excellent service/therapy dog. Another reason why Poodles are so popular, is due to their hypoallergenic hair, that comes in many different varieties and may be styled in many different ways! The Poodle has been a favorite breed for many years and will be for many more years to come!
