Question 4

What is the difference between a Cavapoo and a Golden Doodle?

Accepted Answer

Cavapoos are an excellent choice for families seeking a smaller, moderately energetic dog, making them ideal for households with young children or first-time dog owners. Their size and lower energy levels allow them to seamlessly fit into various lifestyles and home environments, minimizing the need for significant adjustments.In contrast, Golden Doodles appeal to families looking for a medium-sized dog with a more exuberant personality. They thrive on social interaction and require a bit more space, whether it’s a yard or regular trips to the park, to accommodate their higher energy levels. Owners should be prepared for a commitment to meeting their exercise needs, ensuring that these spirited companions receive the activity they crave.

Question 5

What Makes the Cavapoo an Ideal family Companion?

Accepted Answer

The Cavapoo is a friendly, affectionate, and playful breed that combines the best traits of both the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle. Known for their moderate energy, loving nature, they are great family companions and get along well with children and other pets. Cavapoos are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. They are also social and thrive on human interaction, often forming strong bonds with their owners. With their cheerful disposition and charming looks, Cavapoos are a wonderful choice for families looking for a loyal and loving pet.

Question 6

What Size Range of Cavapoos Do You Breed?

Accepted Answer

Our Cavapoos go down to 8 pounds and up to 40, with 20-30 pounds being most popular. The size of our Poodle mother plays a key role in determining the weight of each puppy.

We are an in-home breeder, which means they are born in our living room and live in our house until the day they go home. They get a multitude of exposure, desensitization, handling and love!

Question 10

Can I Cross the US Boarder to Bring My Puppy Home?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026, the cross boarder laws only allow a 6 month+ puppy to cross into the US.

Question 11

Do You Allow Visitors?

Accepted Answer

Unvaccinated puppies are VERY vulnerable to viruses that can make them sick or even kill them. Therefore we must protect their wellness and health with limiting the exposure other people can unknowingly bring to our home.If you are wanting to get to know us better, we highly suggest you check us out on Instagram and Facebook - we post LOTS of pictures and videos of our current puppies, watch our YouTube videos (we have around 120 videos posted - link above on the YouTube icon) and read through our website to help get to know us. All but two of our families have been to our home - we did FaceTime and photos to ensure all was well. We have had one family from Michigan purchase two puppies from us, and so they stayed in our home for five nights and flew home on two different trips, others have flown from Montreal, Ontario, multiple families from California, and driven from Calgary, Manitoba, Seattle, Oregon and the likes to take their bundle of love home! We take massive pride in our amazing program, and how we raise our puppies in our home, including the love and care of our mamas and papas too!!

Question 12

Can we Meet Your Dogs?

Accepted Answer

Our dogs live in family homes and are actually family pets, first and foremost. We have a Guardianship breeding program which means we research, buy, health test and assess the personalities of all of our dogs. Once we are confident that a dog is a good fit for our program we then interview families and have them take our dogs home as their own. After they have passed health testing and have been bred she will return to us a week before she is due to have her puppies to whelp and tend to her babies. Once the puppies are roughly seven weeks of age and fully weaned, our girl goes back home to be a beloved family pet once again.

Question 13

We Have Allergies - Can We Visit Your Dogs?

Accepted Answer

We have Cavalier and Golden Retriever mamas that come and go from our home, as well as a  Golden Retriever that lives with us full time, so we aren't a good testing ground for how someone would react. It's best to consider dog-sitting someone's Cavapoo or Goldendoodle to see how it goes for you. If it's that big of a concern, then you would need to consider an F1b puppy, as they are 75% Poodle and best for those who have more moderate to severe allergies.

Question 14

Do I get to pick my puppy?

Accepted Answer

With our support and guidance, ​yes! I would like to think of the puppy selection process as more of a collaboration of educated minds coming together. We take the temperament test scores, along with a full page of notes on each puppy during the testing, along with what we know of them since birth and then we start our conversation. The best that we can ask is that you stay open minded, do your best not to narrow in too much on one puppy and trust that with loads of professional information​ and lots of conversation with you,​ we will​l find your next BFF​!
