The Cavapoo (American English) or Cavoodle (Australian English) is a crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. The cavapoo is speculated to have been first bred by designer dog breeders in Australia in the 1950s[1] as a companion dog with similar traits to the cockapoo, but at a smaller size.[2]
