Cava-Tzu Activity Requirements

Cava-Tzus are a Toy Poodle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix. The Poodle side of the ancestry gives them a low- to medium-energy level, while the Cavalier side gives these dogs a playful and affectionate nature. A regular walk or play session will help to keep your Cava-Tzu happy. This breed of dog can also do well in an apartment if given sufficient time and attention. While they are not high-energy, they do need to interact with their humans regularly. A walk in the park can help to burn off some of their energy, as can a game of fetch. A puzzle toy or treat-dispensing toy can also help to mentally stimulate your Cava-Tzu.
