The Cavapoo is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (typically Toy or Miniature), resulting in a small, affectionate companion dog that usually weighs 10 to 20 pounds at maturity. Males tend to be slightly larger than females, standing 11 to 14 inches tall compared to 10 to 13 inches for females. Their compact size makes them well-suited for apartment living and families with small children.

Cavapoos are a small breed and reach their adult size relatively quickly. Most Cavapoos are fully grown by 8 to 11 months, with the fastest growth occurring between 2 and 6 months of age. Puppies from Toy Poodle parents tend to be on the smaller end and finish growing earlier, while those from Miniature Poodle parents may be slightly larger and take a month or two longer to reach full size. It is important to track growth consistently, as the Cavalier parent can contribute a tendency toward weight gain.
