The Cavapoo is a designer breed that's a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle. This charming breed is known for its friendly and sociable nature, intelligence, and low-shedding qualities, making it an ideal family pet.
An F1 Cavapoo is the first generation cross between a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a purebred Poodle. These puppies will have qualities from both parent breeds, often featuring the Cavalier's friendly nature and the Poodle's intelligence. They generally have a wavy coat and shed significantly less.
On the other hand, an F1B Cavapoo is a unique blend, combining the best of both the Poodle's and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's worlds. By backcrossing an F1 Cavapoo with a purebred Poodle, we increase the Poodle's genetic influence to 75%. This means that F1B Cavapoos carry a higher proportion of the Poodle's renowned hypoallergenic and low-shedding qualities, making them an excellent choice for individuals or families with allergies. Their coat often presents a distinct, plush curl that adds an extra dash of charm to their appearance. Despite these Poodle-influenced traits, the F1B Cavapoos retain the Cavalier's famous friendly and sociable temperament, making them the perfect example of a family-friendly pet. To put it simply, the F1B Cavapoo offers the best of both breeds, with an added hypoallergenic advantage and a delightful curl to their coats.
