Origins
The history of Cavoodles dates back to the 1950s when American breeders wanted to develop a low-shedding and hypoallergenic breed. They crossed a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a Poodle, resulting in the first generation of Cavoodles.
The breed later on made its way to the United Kingdom and Australia where it thrived as a household pet. In the 1990s, Australian breeders started to breed Cavoodles due to their excellent temperament.
Today, the breed is registered with societies and clubs for crossbred dogs. However, it is still not recognised by major international kennel clubs.

How can I take good care of my Black Cavoodle?
Nutrition
Feed your Black Cavoodle a balanced diet of high-quality commercial dog food, preferably one formulated for small breeds. Black Cavoodles can also benefit from fresh, vet-approved additions like lean meats, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid overfeeding, as these dogs can be prone to obesity. Remember to have fresh water available at all times.
Grooming
The Black Cavoodle typically has a long, wavy coat that can easily become matted. Because of this, your dog’s hair needs to be brushed and trimmed regularly. If you are not confident about cutting your pup’s coat with a clipper, a visit to the groomer is recommended.>
If your pup enjoys spending time outdoors, it will need frequent bathing. Use a pet-friendly shampoo that contains natural ingredients to avoid allergic reactions.

Prevent mats by keeping your Black Cavoodle’s hair short all the time.
Clean your pup’s eyes regularly to prevent discharge from building up.
Make sure your dog is on flea and tick control year-round to prevent parasites.
This crossbreed has hairy ear canals, so frequent ear cleaning is necessary to prevent infections.
Avoid gingivitis and tartar buildup by brushing your Black Cavoodle’s teeth daily.
Exercise
The Black Cavoodle is a high energy dog that needs mental and physical stimulation. However, it does not require excessive exercise due to its small size. One 30-minute walk a day is enough.
Training
Because of its incredible intelligence, the Black Cavoodle is one of the easiest dogs to train. It is obedient, determined, and eager to please so it learns commands and tricks quickly. Training can include anything – emotional support, disability assistance, and competitions.
