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

Truffle got his second round vaccines this last week and is ready to go to his forever home! He is such a fun loving, happy and snuggly little guy, and his tri-color coat is developing into a beautiful phantom pattern and helps show his personality and facial expressions.
Equally happy to play around outside or snuggle in your lap. Message us if you’d like to do a video call, or schedule a time to come by and meet him! He will be a wonderful addition the family he joins.

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that our sweet Cinnamon found her forever home yesterday and after a day of driving she’s now settling in with her wonderful new family who already adores her!!
Watching Cinnamon walk out the door with her tail wagging and her new family beaming with excitement was such a heartwarming moment. We know she’s going to bring them endless joy, laughter, and unconditional love.
Congratulations to Cinnamon and her new family - here’s to many happy years together! 🐾❤️

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Hales Wagging Tails reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cavapoos.
Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

Working with Mariah has been so easy. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful. Her puppies are well taken care of and partially house trained. We are so lucky to have our sweet Honey and she’s been a great addition to our family! Training her has been easy and I know it’s because of her early weeks with Mariah.
