Cadoodle Activity Requirements
Cadoodles are a mix between a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They are friendly, intelligent, and energetic. While they are not the most high-energy of breeds, they do require regular exercise. Daily walks and trips to the dog park are a great way to keep your Cadoodle happy and healthy. Puppies and young Cadoodles tend to need more exercise and attention than older, more mature dogs. However, all Cadoodles should be given the opportunity to stretch their legs and get their heart rates up on a regular basis.
