Cavapoos, a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Poodles, have become one of the most popular designer dog breeds. Their friendly personalities and cute looks make them wonderful family pets, and they’re especially popular with people who have dog allergies.
But what exactly is a Cavapoo? And what are the different types?
Cavapoos come in several different “generations,” and it’s important to understand what those generations mean before you bring a puppy home. The most common generations are F1 and F1b.
An F1b Cavapoo is a first-generation backcross. This means they’re bred by mating an F1 Cavapoo with a Poodle. The result is a puppy who is 75% Poodle and 25% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
So, what does that mean for their personality, appearance, and whether or not they’re truly hypoallergenic? And what can you expect to pay for an F1b Cavapoo puppy? We’ll explore all of that in this article.
