These dogs are a bit of a diversion from the search for reliability in coats …. But they come in such a fabulous range of colours that I have been unable to resist breeding from Chippy and her sisters. Half of the Cavadoodle puppies will be low or non shedding an half will be variably shaggy dogs – but they come in Gold, Chocolate, Black and Silver and Chocolate Harlequin (or merle – but harlequin’s a prettier name) – like Chippy’s beautiful baby Gypsy.

This is a guide to the expected size of my dog when grown – under their spectacularly different coats the Cavadoodles will be very similar in size and temperament to the mini-groodles.
