The CavaDoodle may be new to you, and that’s part of what makes them special. They’re an uncommon breed, and one we’ve come to love and specialize in. Gentle, sweet natured, and easy to be around, they were created to be the perfect companions.
Our goal in breeding the CavaDoodle is to create an easy going, medium energy, minimal shedding, intelligent dog you’ll love to welcome into your home. CavaDoodles are generally a better choice than a Cavapoo if you have small children. CavaDoodles want to be with their human family and are eager to please. They will thrive in your home with lots of love and consistency.
What is a CavaDoodle?
The CavaDoodle is a blend of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Poodle, and a dash of Labrador Retriever. Maple Hill Doodles is one of a select few breeders in the U.S who breed CavaDoodles. When bred responsibly, this combination of three breeds helps to produce a healthier dog than its purebred ancestors.
Don’t be confused by different names for the breed, though. The CavaDoodle is distinct from a Cavapoo, which is sometimes called a Cavoodle.
Then, to be even more confusing, the Cavapoo/Cavoodle breed can be called a Cavadoodle as well. We figure that making the names interchangeable is a simple mistake of terminology. What makes our CavaDoodles unique is the addition of the Labrador. Not only does that gene pool add size, but also it makes for a family friendly temperament.
In size and appearance, a CavaDoodle most resembles an Australian Labradoodle, which is a different dog from the standard Labradoodle. They typically land in the small to medium range, a comfortable size for just about any home.
Family-Raised CavaDoodle Puppies
Our CavaDoodle puppies are part of the family from day one. We raise all puppies in our loving home and safe environment. So, they’re used to being around an active household. And they’ll transition to their forever homes easier than if we raised them in the kennel environment.
We begin their training at 3 days old with Early Neurological Stimulation methods (ENS). That’s a fancy term for gently introducing them to different noises and situations they will experience in their lives. Your puppy will be better able to deal with new and unexpected situations, as they grow and into adulthood. This is followed up with enrichment and further desensitization.

Are CavaDoodles hypoallergenic?
The answer is yes, but… Hypoallergenic means – they are less likely to affect allergies. Be aware this doesn’t mean that they are allergy free. If you are very sensitive, any breed of dog may affect your allergies.
How big do CavaDoodles get?
They usually range from 20 to 35 pounds in weight , depending on the sizes of the parents and grandparents. We occasionally may have a larger or smaller puppy in a litter outside of this size range.
Do CavaDoodles shed?
They are considered ‘non-shedding’ dogs. This means there is minimal shedding of fur. Keep up with proper grooming and you should have fewer issues.
Do CavaDoodles have low maintenance coat?
The short answer is no. Low shedding, allergy friendly breeds generally need grooming on the same schedule as a poodle, every 6-8 weeks. The upside side is they won’t cover your furniture, clothes and floor in fur. More time grooming but less time cleaning!
What is a CavaDoodle’s lifespan?
12 to 15 years is the average lifespan for a medium-size dog, including the CavaDoodle. With a proper raw food diet, and minimal harmful chemicals, quality of life and years can be extended.
