Iris and Curry had a singleton puppy a little while ago. This is beautiful blonde little Nala.
She is our first ever Cuddle Cavapoo. I am so blessed to have good breeder friends nearby, Kate had a litter born just a couple days before Nala was born (via c-section), so Kate generously allowed Nala to be raised in one of Kate's Mini Bernedoodle litters. Nala was accepted by her foster Mini Bernedoodle Mom & canine foster siblings. I brought Nala up to her foster litter after she was born & Kate rubbed some of her Mini Bernedoodle's "Momma juice" on Nala so that she smelled more like her own puppies to help her accept Nala, & it worked! It is always a risky thing having a puppy from an outside litter around another Mom, often times the Mom will kill the outside puppy just out of her nature to protect her own, so we had to monitor the situation closely. We are very fortunate that everything went smoothly and Nala was accepted. Nala has been thriving in her foster litter and was even the first of the litter to open her eyes. We could have raised just her alone but she would have missed out on the socialization skills she could've learned from siblings. It's better for her in the long run to go to a foster litter.
I am hoping to go up this week and visit Nala and
take a video to share as well. She is already so sweet and her new family can't wait for her! She is the very first of many Cuddle Cavapoos to come this year and something I have been working towards for almost three years! Cuddle Cavapoos are just larger size Cavapoos using a Moyen Poodle parent instead of a Mini or Toy Poodle. I personally prefer the slightly larger Poodles temperaments better.
They tend to be more chill, smarter, more human focused, loving to all not just their one favorite, they are a good size for a lap dog but also are big enough to keep up on hikes and runs. That is why the focus of my program going forward will really be on Cuddle Cavapoos in the 18-30 lbs range. Cavapoos are the sweetest dogs out there and live to make others happy and feel loved. I can't wait to watch Nala continue to grow as the first puppy in our new grand adventure of breeding Cuddle Cavapoos.
