Cavapoos are a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle, typically weighing between 10-25 pounds.
On average, male Cavapoos tend to be slightly larger than females, with an adult weight range of 18-22 pounds for males compared to 15-20 pounds for females.
Understanding Cavapoo Size
Cavapoos can vary significantly in size due to their parent breeds' influence. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is considered a toy breed by the AKC and typically weighs between 13 and 18 pounds.
Their height can range from 12 to 13 inches, making them relatively small dogs. A Cavapoo's full-grown size is largely determined by its parents' genetics, so it's essential to consider their heritage when predicting adult size.
Size Chart and Measurements
A full-grown Cavapoo can weigh anywhere from 9 to 25 pounds.
The average height for a Cavapoo is around 9 to 16 inches tall, with some reaching their adult size sooner than others. Toy Cavapoos tend to reach their adult size around 7.5 to 11 months of age, while Miniature Cavapoos take a bit longer, typically reaching full size between 11 to 13 months old.
You can estimate your Cavapoo's adult weight based on its current weight using growth charts like the one provided in Example 3.

Mini
Mini Cavapoos are a small hybrid breed dog that usually reach their full-grown size by 11 to 13 months old.
They can weigh anywhere between 13 to 25 pounds and stand at 12 to 16 inches tall at the shoulder. Mini Cavapoos typically reach half of their adult size around 3.5 to 5 months of age.
To calculate your Mini Cavapoo's size once they reach adulthood, you can use a formula that takes into account their weight and height at various stages of growth.
Mini Cavapoochons are an even smaller variation of this adorable pup, weighing between 12 and 15 pounds as adults. They tend to grow faster compared to larger Standard Cavapoochons.
You can predict your Mini Cavapoochon's size as an adult using a specific formula that takes into account their weight at different stages of growth.

A Cavapoo can weigh anywhere from 9 to 25 pounds and stand at around 9 to 16 inches tall.
The full-grown size of a Cavapoo is usually reached by the time they're 12 months old, with Toy Cavapoos reaching their adult size around 7.5 to 11 months of age.
Miniature Cavapoos reach their full size around 11 to 13 months old and typically weigh between 13 to 25 pounds, standing at 12 to 16 inches tall.
Only a big Cavapoo, probably 10% or less of all puppies, will be a medium-sized dog.
A Toy Cavapoo's weight can range from 7 to 13 pounds, while a Miniature Cavapoo can weigh up to 25 pounds.

Calculating Cavapoo Growth
To calculate your Cavapoo's growth, you'll need their current weight and age. Our puppy growth calculator is a great tool for this, as it takes into account various factors that can influence their final size.
You can use the dog size calculator to estimate your Cavapoo's adult weight based on their current weight in pounds and actual age in weeks or days. For example, if your Cavapoo weighs 9 lbs at 12 weeks, they'll likely weigh around 39 lbs as an adult, with a predicted height of up to 25 inches.
Here are some general size categories for reference: Toy dog — e.g., Yorkshire Terrier, Chihuahua, Prague RatterSmall dog — e.g., Beagle, Dachshund, CorgiMedium dog — e.g., Samoyed, Labrador retriever, American Staffordshire TerrierLarge dog — e.g., Alaskan Malamute, Bernese Mountain Dog, BergamascoGiant dog — e.g., Great Dane, Bullmastiff, Kuvasz
Keep in mind that these are just estimates and many factors can influence your Cavapoo's growth and final size.

Our Puppy Calculator is a game-changer when it comes to understanding your Cavapoo's growth.
The calculator we use is based on actual scientific growth data specific to individual breeds, making it the most accurate puppy weight calculator on the internet. This means you can rely on precise predictions for your Cavapoo's size and weight as they grow.
Our calculator takes into account the characteristic growth curve that dogs have, which is different from the linear growth assumption made by many other calculators. This ensures that our predictions are tailored to your Cavapoo's unique breed and size.
Here's a breakdown of what you can expect for Toy and Mini Cavapoos:
With our calculator, you can get a clear picture of what to expect from your Cavapoo's growth journey, from their weight and height to the age at which they reach full-grown size.
Generational Impact on Adults
Calculating Cavapoo growth is not just about understanding their size at birth, but also how their generation can affect their full-grown size.
With hybrid breeds like the Cavapoochon, their generation tells us how a litter of puppies was bred and how much of their genetic makeup roughly consists of each parental breed. These are very rough estimates, but they help us understand and guesstimate potential traits, including size.
The generations don't exactly work the same way as with regular Poodle mixes because the Cavapoochon is a second-generation or later crossbreed that already requires one hybrid breed parent.
Let's take a look at some possible Cavapoochon generations:
As you can see, there's quite a lot of room for variety when producing Cavapoochon puppies, and their generation can significantly impact their size. For instance, if an F2 Cavapoochon is bred back to a Miniature Poodle, we can expect the litter of F2b Cavapoochons to take more after the Poodle parent, with roughly 75% Poodle in their genetic makeup.

Generations Explained
Let's start with the basics - understanding the different generations of Cavapoos is essential for calculating their growth. The F1 generation, also known as the first filial generation, is a cross between a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle.
Cavapoos in the F2B generation are a mix of an F1B Cavapoo (a cross between an F1 Cavapoo and a Poodle) and another non-purebred Poodle. This generation is often considered to be more consistent in terms of size and temperament.
The average weight for male Cavapoos ranges from 11 to 18 pounds, while female Cavapoos weigh between 10 and 15 pounds.
Pet Maturity at 6 Months
At 6 months old, small dog breeds like Chihuahuas will be closer to their adult size.
Keep in mind that even though your small dog might look like an adult dog already at 6 months old, they are still very much puppies and need a lot of patience and training.
No dog breed is done growing at 6 months old.
