Cavapoo

The Cavapoo is a dog mixed dog breed between two dogs: the Poodle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.^[1] They go by different names as well.^[2] They can inherit the traits from their parents. They can also inherit the good or bad genes of both of the parents. Because Poodles can suffer from PRA, hip problems or patella problems that is genetic, it is a gamble when you purchase a mixed breed puppy. This cross breed is very popular amongst people who breed to farm puppies. For instance might have a puppy mill business or puppy farm. It is wise to obtain your next puppy from a reputable breeder of one pure breed for instance from an American Kennel Club breeder who breeds Poodles or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Or for Australia, a breeder that is from the Australian National Kennel Council who breeds to a code of ethics for a particular breed. Buying from a person who breeds pets without background knowledge reduces the chances of obtaining a puppy that is free from any genetic diseases.
