How to Choose the Perfect Doodle Puppy: Cavapoo vs Cockapoo vs Maltipoo

Are you torn between a Cavapoo, Cockapoo, or Maltipoo? These adorable, hypoallergenic designer breeds are among the most popular family companions, but each has unique traits that make them ideal for different lifestyles.

At Happy Paws Family, we specialize in family-raised, health-tested Cavapoo, Cockapoo, and Maltipoo puppies—and we're here to help you decide!

Size & Appearance

• Maltipoo: Smallest (5-20 lbs), with silky coats in apricot, cream, or white—perfect for apartments.
• Cavapoo: Medium-small (10-25 lbs), wavy "teddy bear" looks in colors like apricot, chocolate, or merle.
• Cockapoo: Slightly larger (10-30 lbs), curly coats with playful energy and colors like red or parti.

Temperament All three are affectionate and intelligent, but:

• Maltipoos are sweet lap dogs, great for calm homes.
• Cavapoos are gentle and intuitive—wonderful with kids.
• Cockapoos are playful and outgoing, thriving on fun activities.

Grooming & Allergies These low-shedding breeds are often hypoallergenic, but require regular brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.

Which is Right for You? If you want a tiny cuddler → Maltipoo. Gentle family dog → Cavapoo. Energetic playmate → Cockapoo.
