Cavapoo vs. Cockapoo – How to Choose
If you’re looking for a smaller dog that enjoys playing and snuggling, these are two great choices, and making the decision between Cavapoo vs. Cockapoo is not going to be easy.
One characteristic that may help you decide is their size at maturity, as Cockapoos tend to be the larger of the two breeds. For a little less shedding, the Cavapoo is probably the better choice. A final way to decide may also be to look at our puppies that are currently available for adoption, and choose by color, sex, and price. Of course you can always just pick the cutest face, too.
