Caverpoo - can someone tell me about their health? Health

has any one got a cavapoo puppy or dog can you tell me anything about them please how is the health side thanks a lot

hi just got a cavapoo

Hi, It depends on the health tests the parents have....CKCS are quite prone to a few issues, Heart, SM, and some eye problems I think.

Best to look up for both CKCS and Poodles and expect to get a mix of both.

ETA - with the crosses - you sometimes get the best and sometimes the worst of the breeds that go into them, no way of telling for sure till the pup is fully grown I'm afraid.

O how nice hoe old is the pup

sorry you lott can not keep my mouth shut why a cavapoo what's wrong with a poodle or a cavalia it's people like you that want designer dog's that's spoiling good breed's and i bet you paid over the top money for a cross breed

They came on looking for advice please dont treat them with such disrespect. They havent quizzed you with your choice on poodles. The good breeds are already ruined. And a lot of them are less costly than your ped. Why are they worth so much money? For a bit of paper. You lot cannot keep my mouth shut with your constant judgements. And i dont even own one of these crosses.

Sorry I dont own one, couldnt say much about them just try find yourself a good breeder who tests. I owned a Cav previously beautiful boy but he had all the associated health problems his demise was heartbreaking

Is that a fact? ohh and for what Its worth alot of these crosses are more price wise than the two pure breeds that make the cross.


Sorry OP I havent got advice on this cross, Your best bet Is to research both breeds that make the cross and look Into how well you personally think their matched tempermant wise ect. Then find your self a good breeder that health tests, and Is willing to share both the pros and cons of such a cross.

One thing to note if they pick up on the poodle temprament you will have a very energetic intelligent little pup who will need a lot of mental stimulation, whereas your typical Cav is a lot more laid back. Because its a cross you wont know until you spend time with the pup which traits it will take on but its something to be aware of.

No its not. You can find good breeders but there are as many bad breeders of poodles and Cavs as there are of crossbreeds. The whole dog industry is ruined by bad breeders. And we can talk about this till the cows come home, you know my views from other threads but i found that post rather nasty when someone was looking for info on the dog. No need to shoot them down like that. Id hope the poster will have done research into the dogs.

Thats why they need the health tests, to stop the rot.

I'd check on what tests both breeds need and look for a breeder who does all of them.

Good luck with your search and well done for asking before you aquire a dog.

Yes there are bad breeders around of all breeds. But you said 'the good breeds are already ruined'. Which to my knowledge Is a false statement, Some breeds are, ALOT arent.

Cant say much for the poodle but the amount of frequent health problems in the cavalier doesnt really show it as doing well for itself. It was implied that crossing is ruining these breeds. Imo a lot of the breeds have sadly got plenty of their own problems. But this would be better suited for the designer dogs section would it not than someone asking about the health implications of the cross.

I was speaking with regards the breeds in question the poodle and the cav. As said above both have problems as will any dog but i know the cavs are a bit too frequent for healthy breeding.

i was not treating them disrespectfull was just giving my opinion on designer dog's selling for silly money keep yor hair on free speech and all that

Of course but why not join in on the designer thread where there a lot of people talking about the pros and cons rather than put someone down just looking for some help? I know if i had came on asking a genuine question within the crossbreed section it would upset me the way your post sounded.

Poodles and cavs are both two breeds that need testing. I wouldnt say poodles or cavs are ruined as a whole. Just need alot of serious breeders to test their dogs, which Is being done.
Breeding to pure or cross doesnt matter the breeds suffer from known health Issues that can be tested for and that should be addressed.

At the very very least poodles should have the pra/prcd eye test done yearly and cavs should be heart clear (no murmurs as verified by a cardiologist, not just from a vet) They should also have a MRI scan and you should ask to see the grading certs.

Agreed OP DDs post is exactly what your looking for test wise.

my intention was not to upset anyone just give my opinion :twisted:

Ok but can you see how your comment may affect someone who was asking a genuine question or to the owner of the cross. "people like you" etc. just didnt seem to a very beneficial post to the question? No? What im sayin is why not put your opinion where it is unlikely to cause upset and where people are having this exact discussion?
