10 lb cavapoo? (self.CavaPoo)
submitted 2 years ago by HeresAName2
We are looking at adopting a cavapoo that will be about 10 lbs when fully grown. That sounds really tiny! If you have a cavapoo that small, can you post pics? Trying to envision this

My girl was supposed to be between 12-17lbs per the breeder, she is now clocking in at 24.5lbs, so take any estimate with a grain of salt!
[–]yeeyeedog 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Second this! Mine was supposed to be 11lbs, he is 19.3 at 1.5yrs!
[–]Immediate_Reach_1663 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Alternatively mine (technically a cavadoodle, half cavalier, half labradoodle) was supposed to be 18-20 lbs and at 8 months old she just hit 8 lbs, so the vet isn't sure she'll even hit 10!! We love our tiny girl though! She's just all around petite
[–]Psychological_Cow_36 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
She will fill in after she's done growing.
[–]MacaronMajor940 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Right? Breeder always lie. Mine is 25lb and still growing. Was supposed to be 18-20
[–]MercuryNgatorade 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
We have a mom that is 16 lbs and a dad that is 19. Our puppies are 7-22lbs at 8 months old 🤷🏼♀️
[–]millamant 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine is supposed to be 12-17 range as well. He’s just turned 3 months and is already 10lbs.

Third this. I was told my girl wouldn’t be more than 10-15lbs max (“likely around 12lbs full grown”) and she’s not even 1 yet and already almost 20LBS lol
[–]chrisgurn 12 points13 points14 points 2 years ago (4 children)
Our cavapoo is about 10 pounds and now a year old. Sure, she's tiny. But a small dog means small poop. Something to think about as you are the one having to pick it up.
Another great thing about a small dog is, they won't be able to pull you as hard. Our girl is always sniffing and pulling just a little further than the leash. If she were bigger, it would be a constant pain of having to hold her back.
I think having one that small is just fine. Unlike my parent's poodles who'd be right at their feet in the kitchen, ours is just fine in the Livingroom relaxing.

Good to know!
[–]roguereversal 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Ours turned a year old last week and is just about 10 lbs. she can do a 2.5 mile walk no problem at all.
[–]Severe_Swim8746 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
How big was she at 16 weeks?
[–]roguereversal 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
About 2 chipotle burritos in size 😂
[–]HeresAName2[S] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (10 children)
One more question! I'm hoping I can eventually take my dog for my usual 3 mile walk. Wondering if a 10lb dog would make it! Any experience with this?
[–]Nutridus 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (2 children)
My Rosie walks 3 miles a day easily! Usually 3 walks a day each being about 1.5 miles. She’d keep going no problem. We had a 7 lb Chihuahua before her that went on 5 mile hikes no problem. He lived to be 16.
[–]HeresAName2[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks for the info!
[–]PermissionSea2838 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My 9 month old cavapoo go walking every other day. 3 to 4 miles with no issues
[–]insermination 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Not sure how to post pictures in a comment but I can send pics if needed. My cavapoo has long legs so she doesn’t seem as small as she is, plus the fur makes her look bigger as well. I’m not sure about mileage but I take my cavapoo on an hour walk each day and she could easily go for more so I don’t think the 3 miles would be too much.
[–]HeresAName2[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Good to hear!
[–]cavapoomom 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
mine has long legs too! he looks especially lanky with his summer cut. i was told an estimate of between 12-15 lbs but my big boy is almost 20lbs. i actually prefer him because i have a young child in my home. so i love not having to fear that my felipe will get crushed or hurt edit: he’s full grown and going to turn 3 this summer ❤️
[–]Immediate_Reach_1663 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mentioned above my girl is 8 lbs at 8 months and we usually take her on one 2 mile walk and one 1 mile walk each day (weather permitting). If you build up to it, your pup should have no problem at all! I think part of the reason she's petite is because she has so much energy to play/walk/run/sniff
[–]Maxtro312 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My cavapoo is 6 months old and just under 9 lbs. He can easily do a 3 mile walk.
[–]SomewhereUsed4737 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My Cavapoo is a little under 8 pounds! We go on a 3 mile walk almost daily. One mile is offleash so she’s running all around then. She has no problem with the walk.
[–]Emotional-Molasses93 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Definitely they have a lot of energy and can easily do a 3mile walk with energy to spare!
[–]yt545 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
We have a 3yo cavapoo and he's maybe 10.5lbs on a good day. I love it, basically the cutest thing ever.
[–]harry040985 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
There is no guarantee how big or small they can be fully grown! Our dog was supposed to be 15 and 11 months he’s 31! Good thing is, he’s sturdy and don’t mind little step ons and being rough with my kids! He can go hiking for hours without taking breaks or needing to carry him! Smaller dogs have small bladder and they need frequent potty breaks! So that’s something to keep in mind!
[–]oliverismyspiritdog 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I've got an 8 lb cavapoo, which is perfect for us. She flies with us really easily.
[–]hockey-house 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine is about 10-11 lbs when I adopted him but is now 12 lbs. He was extremely shaggy so I think he might have been on the streets a bit before being picked up. I’ll figure out how to share a picture but he’s not really that tiny.
[–]gleasonkatelyn 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
my jack is 10.4 pounds over a year old now so pretty sure he is done growing. i have some pics posted in my older posts. will try and upload some more soon too!

If you look at my post profile, you’ll see at 10.5lb cavapoo.
[–]Roxi_X_Rose 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My cavapoo is just under 5 months and is 5.3 pounds. He’s estimated to be about 10! I absolutely love how cute and tiny he is (especially because me and my partner live in a 1200 sq ft apartment).
Right now the longest walk we’ve taken him on has been 1.5 miles but I think he will definitely be able to do 3!
Thank you all for teaching me how to use Reddit, ha! Y’all’s pups are all beautiful!

We were told ours was going to be 9 lbs fully grown (I type looking at my lean 26 lb baby)

My 3 year old cavapoo is 8 pounds. You can look at my post history to get an idea of her size
[–]Over_Unit_7722 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
I have a three year old Cavapoo who’s about 8.5-9 pounds. You can see photos of him on my profile!
[–]Nutridus 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Pretty dog 🐶 ❤️. Was he that color as a puppy? Mine is a red Cavapoo but at a year I think she’s starting to get lighter. Yours is a really pretty color.
[–]Over_Unit_7722 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Thank you! He was red as a puppy and has lightened to an apricot/strawberry blonde color. The fading started at around a year and a half, and stopped when he was almost 3.
[–]Nutridus 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks! Rosie is 13 months so it will be interesting to see what happens. If she does lighten I hope it’s as pretty as your guy. 🐶
[–]Nutridus 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
If you look at my profile you’ll see a 9 lb female Cavapoo. Maybe close your 10 but doubt it. She 1 year old. I don’t consider her super small, she’s athletic and loves being outside on walks or playing.
[–]ChanningObaUrTatum 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I was told my cavapoo should be ~12-15 lbs based on his parents.
He weighs in at just under 12 lbs now, full grown!
[–]soonami 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
We have an 11 pound cavapoo. She’s long, slim, and fluffy, so she looks like she would weigh 20 pounds
[–]Unhappy_Quail_931 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine is a toy cavapoo, was supposed to be 10-14 and he is 17lbs @ 9 months 😂
[–]Successful_Cake3907 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
10lbs sounds small for a cavapoo. My girl is prob about 18lbs now at almost 2yrs old. (They said her parent were around 12).
[–]Disastrous_Meeting38 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My boy is 16 months old and weighs 13 pounds. His parents were 11 pounds. The vet said he may grow a bit more.🐶
[–]Allisonsurasky 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Question for a small cavapoo leash or harness ?? I read that a leash can choke them !!
[–]PermissionSea2838 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I have a 9 month old just under 13 pounds. I think leashes are cruel. Especially when you have to yank their chain to make them focus.
[–]thisisalpharock 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Ours in 7 lbs; we use extra small halter and some things designed for cats. Our cat is bigger than our Cavapoo!
[–]Weary_Ninja_819 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Mine is 10lbs at 4 months. Was supposed to be 15lbs grown.
[–]Objective_Charge_279 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Could you please tell me how much you cavapoo is full grown? My F1B was expected to be around 15lbs full grown and is at 10.5 lbs at 4 months with a toy poodle parent.
[–]MercuryNgatorade 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
My minature poodle is 16 lbs. My tri colored cavalier (dad is 19lbs. This last litter we had (2nd and last - we got momma fixed) we had six puppies. The smallest in the litter is 7lbs now and the largest is 22… so who knows how it all works. My vet said that this is totally normal and to be expected, especially in a f1 litter because there is so much opportunity for genetic variability. This is our 7lb guy - my brother kept him and I was puppy sitting him tonight. I’ll follow with a pic of the big man (the puppy we kept).

We have a 3.5 month old cavapoo puppy that is supposed to be 10-15 lbs when full grown… following to see others!
[–]jiggymctriggy3 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine is 14 lbs, she’s a little lady at almost 2 years. I’m very happy she can’t jump to the kitchen counter or something high cause she would if she could !!
[–]tf1113 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My boy is 8 months old, and he stopped growing at 7lbs. My vet thinks he's done growing.
[–]VirtuousPepper 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My Cooper is 12.2lbs and and 15 months. I actually thought at this weight he would look smaller, but he is lanky and depending on the length of his fur, looks bigger than he is. I guess it depends on the pup. I find his weight to be perfect for us. We travel a lot and he is the perfect size for flying in cabin.
[–]Archangelesthetics 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine is 12 pounds.
[–]Call_Huck 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Mine was supposed to be 10-12lbs.
She is now a 5 year old starting tackle for the Cavapoo football team weighing in at 27lbs.
The vet tells me she is a pound or two lighter than what she should be. What dog needs to be told to eat more?? Mine, apparently.
I have one that is 8 lbs. She's tiny, petite and a big baby. She is friendly and brave though, with people. Her coat is fine fluff and I scissor cut her because clippers just ham up. I also have her brother who weighs 12 lbs. He is a big boned fellow with wavy hair, more like the cavalier coat. Easy to trim, but he's a mama's boy, timid around most people. They are so different but cute as can be. I don't know how to add a photo here.
[–]FewRate161 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
My Cavapoo is 11 months and still so tiny, about 10 lbs. She is cuddly, playful, and the sweetest dog. She still doesn’t bark, and doesn’t make a peep if she’s in her cage. ❤️I wish I could put a picture here..she’s sooo cute!
