Cavoodles! Who does not love a cute Cavoodle? If you have ever wondered what it is that makes these little dogs so irresistible, you are not alone.
There is a reason your social feeds are full of Cavoodles. They are one of the most photogenic dogs going, and there is real substance behind all that cuteness. Here is what makes them so hard to resist.
That teddy bear coat
The first thing anyone notices about a Cavoodle is the coat. Soft, curly and plush, it comes from their Poodle parentage and gives them that unmistakable living teddy bear look. Whether your Cavoodle has the tighter curls of the Poodle side or a slightly longer, silkier coat from the Cavalier, it is the sort of fur you cannot help but want to reach out and pat.
Those big, round eyes
A Cavoodle's eyes do a lot of the heavy lifting. Large, dark and expressive, they give the breed that gentle, soulful look that melts even the most hardened heart. It is no accident, since the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is famous for exactly this kind of sweet, open expression, and the Cavoodle inherits it beautifully.
They stay small and huggable
Part of the charm is the size. Most Cavoodles sit comfortably under 12kg and stand knee-high at most, which keeps them looking puppyish well into adulthood. It also makes them the perfect size for a cuddle on the couch or a lap on a lazy Sunday.
The personality shines through
Cuteness is not just looks. A big part of what makes Cavoodles so appealing is their happy, affectionate nature. They are friendly, they love a bit of attention, and they have a way of looking genuinely pleased to see you that is impossible not to smile at. That warmth is what turns a cute photo into a dog you fall completely in love with.
They photograph brilliantly
It is no wonder Cavoodles have taken over Instagram. Between the curly coat, the round eyes and the expressive little faces, they are made for the camera. If you own one, you will quickly find your phone filling up with photos, and honestly, who could blame you.
