Searching for the Best Family Pet? (Shhh…Cavapoos are Tops!)

A Cavapoo makes an awesome family pet due to his sociability, gentleness, loyalty, entertaining personality, inquisitiveness, and hypoallergenic nature. 

He inherits these amazing traits from his parents: the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle. 

So, if you’re shopping around for that perfect family dog, you’ll hit paydirt if you choose a Cavapoo!

Cavapoos are Excellent Family Pets Because of Their Sociability!

Cavapoos are socialites! 

They love to be around all people! 

They have no age restrictions. 

They’re excellent with the young and old alike and those in between. 

They even go the second mile by being friendly with complete strangers.

Their sweet personality isn’t an achieved trait but rather is an inherited one from their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle parents. 

Cavapoos don’t wait for you to pick them up. 

They trot up to you, jump in your lap, and expect an hour-long massage!

Our F1B Cavapoo, Opie, loves everyone. 

He considers every person he meets a potential buddy. 

While some pups may be timid, and others aggressive, and even mean, Opie and other Cavapoos relish company. 

They don’t have a shy bone in their little bodies. 

In fact, Cavapoos are so outgoing that, they can experience separation anxiety when left alone for long periods of time. 

They thrive on interaction. 

So, do Cavapoos make good family pets? 

You betcha!

Cavapoos Make Superb Family Pets Because of Their Gentle Nature!

Cavapoos also make outstanding family pets because of their gentle disposition.

They’re not mean canines. 

They don’t growl, bare their teeth, or snap at you. 

Instead, they enjoy cuddling with their human family. 

Their aim is to please their humans.

When little children are present, it’s so important that a puppy possesses the trait of gentleness. 

After all, children can, unintentionally, get a little rough with a family pet. 

Cavapoos, because of their gentle nature, are patient and tolerant with kids. 

They play right along.

Unlike ferocious security dogs pacing back and forth guarding their territory, Cavapoos are gentle as doves! Read my post Why You’ll Fall in Love with the Spectacular Cavapoo! to learn more about Cavapoos’ gentle nature.

Cavapoos are Awesome Family Pets Because of Their Loyalty!

Cavapoos are extremely loyal to their owners and human family members. 

The old saying “He’s anybody’s dog that will hunt with him,” doesn’t apply to Cavapoos! 

They’re dedicated to their people.

Because of their high intelligence, they know when their owner is struggling with sadness or is sick. 

They bond with their human parents, never leaving their side. 

Sorry, but here’s another reference to Opie! 

When I come home from work, Opie meets me at the door, jumping up and down, wagging his tail. 

He’s eager to see me and I’m eager to see him.

The words “Cavapoo” and “loyalty” are spelled differently but I think they can be used interchangeably!            

Cavapoos are Fabulous Family Pets Because of Their Entertaining Personality!

 Cavapoos are showstoppers! 

Their outgoing personality will put smiles on your face. 

You’ll chuckle as you watch them do their “zoomies.” 

They’ll chase balls or thrown toys and bring them back to you time and time again. Read more about Cavapoos being exceptional entertainers by reading my post Discover 8 Reasons Why Your Cavapoo is the Ultimate Therapy Dog.

In a world that claims a lot of our family time because of work, school, and extracurricular activities, Cavapoos bring families together for a period of relaxation, fun, and laughter.

They give us what we need!

I guess you can say that Cavapoos remind families what is important in life-spending time together!

Cavapoos Make Great Family Pets Because of Their Inquisitiveness!

Borrowing the smart gene from their Poodle parent, Cavapoos are so inquisitive. 

They’re interested in just about anything. 

Let me back up and make a correction. 

I should’ve said “They’re interested in EVERYTHING!”

Study their eyes and you’ll see an intense stare that spells concentration. 

When your Cavapoo is awake, he’ll watch your every move!

What does this mean? It means that you better not leave anything of any value on the floor. 

Because your 12–25-pound canine vacuum cleaner will get it in his mouth and then he’s off to the races! 

But you’ll have boatloads of fun trying to catch him! And while you’re getting your time in on running laps, your family will be belly-laughing while cheering your pup on!

Cavapoos are Outstanding Family Pets Because of Their Hypoallergenic Nature!

Please remember that no pet is 100% hypoallergenic. 

However, Cavapoos, because of their Poodle genes, are as close to being hypoallergenic as a pet can be.

What does this really mean? How does this make them a good family pet?

I don’t know anyone who enjoys sneezing their head off due to being allergic to dogs. 

If you’re prone to allergies, you know how miserable you can be, sniffing and wiping your nose before you finally…achoo!

Good news. You won’t have an allergic attack around Cavapoos. 

And that means you can enjoy family time holding your pup, rubbing his back, and spoiling him rotten.

In fact, one of the reasons that breeders mated the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a Poodle was to develop a hypoallergenic dog. 

The other objective was to produce an offspring that was low shedding (and that, of course, depends on whether the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s genes or the Poodle’s genes are more dominant). 

If the Cavapoo takes more after the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, you’ll have to sweep or vacuum your floor often.

But if he takes after the Poodle, he’ll be a low-shedding pup. And instead of exercising your arm with a broom or vacuum cleaner, you can play with your puppy.
