What is a Cavoodle?
A blend of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle — expressive eyes, soft curly coat, and a temperament made for families.
Cavoodles combine the gentleness and affection of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. The result is a small, loving companion that adapts beautifully to apartments, family homes, and everything in between.
At Gentle Heart Cavoodles we breed for the things that matter most: the distinctive teddy-bear look, a gentle and trainable temperament, good health and longevity, and a soft low-shedding coat. Every parent is health and DNA tested.

Shaggy
Crimped, wavy coat. Low-shedding and easy to brush.
