Benefits for Families with Children, Couples or Individuals
Our puppies are suitable for ALL families including individuals and couples without children at home.
Cavoodles and Shoodles LOVE being with their family members.
Our puppies are well socialised and used to daily handling and interaction.
The benefits of owning a dog are well known and include companionship; improved physical and mental health; home security (sometimes) and pure entertainment.
Our toy Cavoodles (adult size up to 5kg) are ideal small dogs for individuals or couples looking for a small ‘lap’ dog. They are also great companions for children or adults in a wheelchair. They don’t require a big backyard however all canine companions DO require some daily exercise. Walking and playing with their owner is great mental, as well as physical, exercise. They will enjoy cuddles and snuggles when you are watching TV or reading.
Our miniature Cavoodles are bigger than toy Cavoodles (over 5kg under 10kg) and are often preferred by more active individuals, couples or families with active children. A miniature Cavoodle will require and enjoy daily exercise, playing and walking. They will appreciate mental stimulation/challenges when their owner isn’t home. They will enjoy a cuddle and snuggle when you are watching TV or reading.
BABIES and young children should NEVER be left alone with a puppy or dog irrespective of the breed. Young children can hurt a puppy if they squeeze or cuddle the puppy too hard so they should be supervised at all times.
Puppies should be trained not to jump up on people so they don’t knock over young children or the elderly. We recommend new owners attend Puppy School with their new puppy.
We have an easy to read chart which explains the difference between ‘toy’ and ‘miniature’ Cavoodles which may help when choosing the ideal puppy for your family and lifestyle
