Frequently Asked Questions

Availability changes throughout the year, so the best place to start is our Available Puppies page. If you are planning ahead for an upcoming litter, you are always welcome to enquire through our contact page or email info@cavoodlespuppies.com.au and we can let you know what is coming up.

We focus on Toy, Mini, and Miniature Cavoodle puppies. Adult size can vary depending on the parents, the puppy's individual development, and whether a litter leans smaller or a little sturdier, so we always give families realistic guidance rather than promising an exact adult weight too early.

Pricing can vary between litters depending on factors such as size, coat type, colour, and breeding pair. We are happy to share current pricing when you enquire, along with what is included, so families have clear information before making any decision.

Yes. Once we have spoken with you and confirmed that a particular puppy is the right match, a deposit can be taken to secure your place. The deposit is applied toward the total price, and we explain timing, payment steps, and reservation terms clearly before anything is confirmed.

Yes, at times we do keep a waitlist, especially for families looking for a particular size, sex, or timing. Joining a waitlist does not mean you are rushed into choosing a puppy; it simply helps us keep you informed when a suitable litter or puppy becomes available.

Puppies usually leave for their new homes from around 8 weeks of age, sometimes a little later depending on the puppy's development, confidence, feeding, and veterinary timing. We do not rush puppies out early; their wellbeing and readiness come first.

Yes. Puppies leave with age-appropriate vaccinations, regular worming, and microchipping completed in line with their age and stage. We also provide the relevant records so your local vet has a clear starting point for ongoing care.

Each puppy is health checked before leaving for their new home, and families receive supporting records. We also provide a clear health guarantee for added peace of mind. You can read more on our Health Guarantee page, and we always recommend booking your own local vet check within the first few days after collection or delivery.

Families receive their puppy's key health and care information, and we aim to make the transition as smooth as possible with practical guidance on feeding, routines, and settling in. Inclusions can vary slightly, but we explain what is going home with your puppy before collection or delivery is arranged.

We explain payment timing clearly before a reservation is confirmed, including the deposit amount, when the balance is due, and what details families need for a smooth handover. We prefer everything to be straightforward and transparent so there is no confusion close to pickup or delivery.

Families are welcome to collect their puppy in NSW, and we can also discuss delivery options within NSW and interstate where suitable. If transport is needed, we focus on safe, practical arrangements and clear communication so families understand timing, costs, and what the puppy will need for travel. Our Delivery Options page has more information.

Yes, where appropriate we can provide additional photos or video updates so you can get a better feel for a puppy's size, coat, confidence, and overall personality. We know families are often choosing from interstate as well as within NSW, so clear communication is important.

We try to guide families based on lifestyle, household setup, experience with dogs, and what sort of temperament they are hoping for. Rather than treating every puppy as identical, we prefer to help match people thoughtfully, especially when a family has young children, other pets, or a particular routine at home.

They often can, provided they have regular company, daily exercise, toilet-training consistency, and enough mental stimulation. Cavoodles are usually adaptable, but like any puppy they still need routine, gentle boundaries, and time with their family rather than being left alone for long stretches too early.

For many families, yes. Cavoodles are often affectionate, responsive, and relatively adaptable, which can make them a lovely first dog. That said, first-time owners still need to be ready for toilet training, grooming, routine, socialisation, and the time commitment that comes with any young puppy.

Cavoodles are often loved for their affectionate, social nature and can do very well with children and other pets when introductions are handled properly. Like any breed, they still need supervision, gentle handling, and consistent guidance, especially in busy family homes with very young children.

Many Cavoodles are low-shedding, but no dog can be guaranteed to be completely hypoallergenic. Coat type can vary from puppy to puppy, so we prefer to be honest and practical: families with allergies should spend time around similar dogs first and make a decision based on their own sensitivity.

Cavoodles need regular brushing to help prevent knots and matting, along with professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks for most coat types. Exercise needs are moderate rather than excessive; a combination of short walks, play, and daily interaction usually suits them well, especially while they are still growing.

We recommend keeping your puppy on the same food and routine for the first week or two so they can settle without too many changes at once. Fresh water, small regular meals, a quiet sleeping area, and a calm household routine make a big difference during the adjustment period, and we provide guidance to help with those first few days.

We begin introducing puppies to simple early routines and encourage good habits before they go home, but full toilet training still takes patience and consistency from the new family. Most puppies settle best when meal times, toilet breaks, naps, and bedtime are kept predictable from day one.

Before collection or delivery, it helps to have food ready, water bowls, a bed or crate, a secure pen or safe area, soft toys, and a calm place for your puppy to rest. We also recommend planning your first few days so your puppy is not overwhelmed by visitors, too much travel, or a sudden change in routine.

Yes, we strongly recommend booking a local vet check within the first few days of your puppy arriving home. Many families also like to organise pet insurance before or immediately after collection so cover is in place early, but the right policy is a personal decision and worth comparing carefully.

In many cases, yes, as long as the timing is discussed in advance and is suitable for the puppy. We always try to balance family travel plans or work schedules with what is genuinely best for the puppy's routine, feeding, development, and transition into their new home.

Yes. Ongoing support matters, especially during the first few weeks when families are getting used to feeding, routines, sleep, grooming, and general puppy behaviour. If you have questions after your puppy comes home, you can always get in touch through our contact page or by emailing info@cavoodlespuppies.com.au.
