Meet the breeder

I'm Liz M., the breeder behind Comfort Cavs located in Devon, PA. Welcome to Comfort Cavs where we raise healthy, happy, beautiful puppies with the skills to be successful as therapy dogs, as emotional support animals, and as companions. Our puppies are raised in our home, with our busy family. About Cavoodles: If you’re looking for a dog that’s both smart and gorgeous, a Cavoodle (also called a Cavapoo), might just be the breed for you. This mix between a poodle (miniature or toy) and the Cavalier Kings Charles spaniel is one of the most popular dog breeds, for many reasons. The Cavoodle comes from two treasured breeds, so it makes sense that the combination would result in a truly delightful dog. Cavoodles are gentle and friendly, and their very social nature means they usually don’t know a stranger. Still, they tend to reserve their greatest affection (and they have a lot of it) for their families. They’re also extremely loyal and value human companionship—often even over that of other dogs. They think of themselves as one of your pack pretty quickly after joining your household, and they can sometimes get rather clingy. Don’t be surprised if you soon have a fluffy shadow following you everywhere soon after bringing home a Cavoodle. About Cavachons: The Cavachon is a mixed breed dog–a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise dog breeds. Compact, spunky, and full of fun, these pups inherited some of the best traits from both of their parents. Cavachons are loving and playful, and they make the perfect pet for families and city dwellers who live in small apartments. Let’s first have a look at the character and temperament of their ancestors in order to better understand what makes the Cavachon so popular. Cavachons are intelligent, playful, and overall merry. They get along perfectly with other canine companions, but also with children.

Q. & A. with Liz

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a professional dog trainers with over 30 years of experience, I have the skills to effectively socialize our puppies before they go to their forever homes. Our goal is to raise puppies who can walk into any environment, meet any person or other animal with a sweet, gentle, happy attitude, and provide comfort to those in need, all of which are the hallmark of the breed. Health, Temperament, and Form & Function with a focus on Socialization are our top priorities.

  • What makes your program special?

    We raise our puppies with knowledge of the newest science based research, incorporating Early Neural Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction, and what we have learned through Puppy Culture™, Guide Dogs Of America, and Avidogs, ensuring that all of our puppies are equipped with the skills they need to be stable adult dogs. All of our dogs live in either our home or in guardian homes, and are a loving part of a family. They are treated with the utmost love and care. With our dogs, we enjoy everything from therapy work to long walks on the beach, and of course lots of cuddling on the sofa with them. Our dogs travel with us, swim with us, play fetch with us, perform tricks with us, dance with us, and so much more! All of our breeding dogs are Embark DNA tested. They are OFA screened yearly for heart, & eyes, with biennial echocardiograms. They have MRI scans before breeding, and again at 5 years of age. Patella, and hip clearances are done are done by 24 months of age. Visitors are welcome, and encouraged.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
