Owning a Cavoodle is a genuine joy, though there are a few things worth knowing about life with one of these dogs.
They are easy to care for and great fun to be around. Those adorable looks paired with a lovely personality make them one of the most lovable pets going. Here are 10 of the best things about owning a Cavoodle.
1. They are so cute
There is no getting around it, Cavoodles are ridiculously cute. Their looks vary depending on which parent they take after, but they are all gorgeous. Try ignoring one looking up at you with big round eyes and floppy ears. It cannot be done.
2. They barely shed
Most Cavoodles shed very little, if at all, which makes them far easier to live with for anyone with allergies. It also means they can roll around on the couch without leaving you a vacuuming job every day.
3. They suit small spaces
Cavoodles are very adaptable. They are just as happy in a small apartment as a big house, as long as their people are around. Company matters to them far more than square metres.
4. They are easy to please
Cavoodles thrive on attention rather than a pile of fancy toys. One or two toys and some time with you is all they really ask for.
5. They are very smart
Thanks to their Poodle side, Cavoodles are clever dogs that respond well to training, even as young puppies. They love a mental challenge and are always keen to learn something new, which makes training them fun and rewarding.
6. They get on well with other pets
They can get a little jealous when your attention is elsewhere, but Cavoodles are generally good with other animals. A bit of early socialising is usually all it takes, and then their friendly nature does the rest.
7. They are great with children
Because they look like cuddly toys, kids are naturally drawn to them, and happily Cavoodles are lovely with children. They are gentle and patient, and do not mind being treated like a living teddy bear as long as there is attention on offer.
8. They are goofy
Any day with a Cavoodle is a fun one. They are playful, jolly dogs and a constant source of entertainment, and because they are so cute, even the silly things they do are endearing.
9. They put up with your silliness
Every dog owner gets a bit goofy, and Cavoodle owners more than most, because it is hard not to when your dog is this adorable. The best part is that your Cavoodle never seems to mind the baby talk and the clowning around.
10. They are wonderfully affectionate
Above all, Cavoodles are sweet, loving dogs. They love being around you and are not shy about showing it. They can seem like balls of endless energy at times, but mostly what they want is a cuddle and a good scratch.
