Mini Cavapoos & English Cream Golden Doodles

What is a Mini Cavapoo?

What is a English Cream Golden Doodle?

Cavapoos are a cross between Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Mini Poodles. They can be described as affectionate, gentle, loyal. They are even tempered, but can also be playful and full of personality! Be prepared for your cavapoo to be by your side. Cavapoos are not known to be excessive barkers and they can be somewhat hypo-allergenic depending on the genetic result from the parent dogs. Since poodles are non-shedders, the cavapoos often inherit some of this quality!

English Cream Doodles are a cross between a English Cream Golden Retriever and Poodles. Kind of like a golden retriever, but better (our bias shows there.) English Cream Golden Retrievers are a member of the Golden Retriever family however they are often lighter in color, shorter and stockier. They are more square in the body and more solid in their head shape.

Again when crossed with a mini poodle, you get all the best from that little poodles sharpness and some hypo-allergenic characteristics and the playfulness, loyalty and demeanor of the English Cream. We call it perfection! Oops there is that bias again!

What distinguishes a mini?

A mini cavapoo means that one of the parents was a miniature, and in our case, the sires are. Thunder and waffles are AKC-registered miniature poodles! They weigh in at 10 and 11 pounds. They all have been OFA and genetically tested!

Fancy, our foundation mama, is a full-blooded AKC-registered Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She weighs 20 pounds, she is OFA and genetic tested, and is up-to-date on all vaccinations!

Dotty, our foundation female for the English Doodles is also full-blooded AKC-registered and an English Cream Golden Retriever. She weighs in at 80 pounds and about 2ft at her shoulder.

We expect our cavapoo puppies to be somewhere between 15-25 lbs and 11″ at the shoulder when full-grown and our mini english cream doodles to be 40 to 45 pounds and about 18″ at the shoulder.

What is an F1?

The term F1 simply refers to the amount of poodle compared to the amount of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the particular cross. F1 puppies are 50% Cavalier and 50% poodle. This is often a desirable cross because they receive hybrid vigor which simply means lower risk of the known issues associated with either of the parent breeds! F1b is 75% poodle and 25% Cavalier. In our case to make F1bs we cross an F1 mama with a mini poodle dad.

For the English Cream Doodles, all the above is true. They are 50% English Cream Golden Retriever and 50% mini poodle. All the parents are on our farm, in our home, members of our family, health and genetic tested and AKC registered!
