Cavapoo Puppy Ruby & White Boy | Toy Size 12 - 14 Pounds Grown

Oh, what a handsome puppy guy, Rusty Beau is extra stylish with an Irish Setter red coat, that perfect teddy-bear face, and a jolly, friendly way about him that makes everyone fall in love the moment they meet him.

I get asked all the time which is the better choice, a boy or a girl puppy. In some breeds, there is a vast difference. If we were discussing Rottweilers, Beagles, or some other purebreds, I’d say there is much more variation than I found with these Cavalier hybrids.

Yes, the boys can be a little more adventurous, especially as puppies, but they can also be very soft-natured, and many of them tend toward the old soul side of the puppy personality wheel.

The girls are equally happy to explore new things, and while occasionally a bit more maternal, even as babies, both boys and girls journey through puppyhood to the same destination, becoming loving, loyal family members who grow into brilliantly intelligent grown-up dogs.

Rusty, as he's known here at home, is currently in my lap, having found the coveted squeaky strawberry, which he happily carried off to bed for a while, then took a few turns around the office, and decided that all that activity required a nice long nap. I'm sure he's dreaming of a vast puppy toy store full of wonderful new toys yet to be discovered.

He’s a lovely, gentle fellow, yes, leaning toward the old-soul variety, occasionally lapsing into nibbling fingers like all good puppies, but a mild correction is all he needs for any puppy misdemeanors; he’s got the makings of a compliant sort of puppy who wants to please. If you want a puppy with more pizazz, I’ll point you towards his brother Baron Waffles, who is convinced that everyone he meets will fall immediately in love with his comical, slightly goofy self.
