Let's explore the different sizes of Cavapoos and what to expect from each. 

Factors Affecting Cavapoo Size

Parental Genetics: The size of the Cavapoo's parents plays a significant role in determining the size of the offspring. If a Cavapoo is bred from a smaller Poodle parent and a smaller Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent, the resulting puppies are likely to be smaller in size.

Generation: Cavapoos can be first-generation (F1) or higher generations, such as F1b or multigenerational. The size of the Cavapoo may vary depending on the specific breeding, as subsequent generations may exhibit more consistency in size traits. As we breed multigenerational cavapoos we are able to hone in on the specific size traits we are desiring.

Individual Variation: Just like humans, dogs have their unique genetic makeup, which can lead to variations in size even within the same litter. Some Cavapoos may take after one parent more than the other, resulting in differences in size among siblings.

Common Cavapoo Sizes

Toy Cavapoos: Toy Cavapoos are the smallest size of the breed. They typically weigh between 7 to 13 pounds and stand around 9 to 11 inches tall at the shoulder. These pint-sized pups are compact and well-suited for apartment living or households with limited space.

Miniature Cavapoos: Miniature Cavapoos fall in the middle range of sizes. They typically weigh between 13 to 20 pounds and stand around 11 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Cavapoos strike a balance between the compact size of Toy Cavapoos and the larger stature of Standard Cavapoos. 

Cuddle or Standard Cavapoos: These larger Cavapoos are the largest size variant of the breed. They typically weigh between 20 to 35 pounds and stand around 15 to 18 inches tall at the shoulder. While they may require a bit more space, Standard Cavapoos still make excellent family pets and thrive in homes with active lifestyles. They are an excellent size for owners with active lifestyles.
