Especially if you\u2019re in the market for a new puppy, you\u2019ll want to be sure the new family member is both cute and meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot to consider when deciding which of the poodle mixes are the cutest. For starters, what makes a poodle mix \u201ccute?\u201d How many different poodle crossbreeds are there? How do you decide which poodle mix is best for you? And, is there one overall best poodle crossbreed? This article helps you to answer all of these questions. Let\u2019s start with a look at the top seven cutest poodle mixes you are sure to melt your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Top 7 Cutest Poodle Mix Breeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poodle mixes have become increasingly popular pets. In the 1950s, the first poodle mixed breed appeared\u2014the Cockapoo, resulting from a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. In the 1980s, the first Labradoodle was bred by crossing a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breeders focusing on poodle mixes are trying to create the perfect dog that carries both breeds’ best traits. For example, a small breed like a Yorkshire Terrier crossed with a Toy or Miniature Poodle. The result, a “Yorkipoo,” is an excellent companion and apartment dog, combining Poodle smarts and terrier playfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven most cute and adorable poodle mixes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cavapoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Cavapoo<\/a> has one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent and one Poodle parent. Cavapoos were first bred in Australia in the late 1990s. Their size can range from 6-18 pounds, depending on whether a toy or miniature Poodle was a parent. Cavapoos are excellent companion dogs\u2014they are loving, easy-going, bright, and easy to train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside is you will likely have a more substantial grooming bill than with many other small Poodle mixes. Early training and socialization are vital as Cavapoos are prone to excessive barking and separation anxiety<\/a> if not properly trained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Havapoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Havapoo is a cross between a Havanese and a Miniature or Teacup Poodle. The Havapoo<\/a> is intelligent, friendly, outgoing, and great with children; they are gentle and sweet and enjoy people and playtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though they make great apartment dwellers, Havapoos enjoy being active, be sure there are many opportunities for outside walks and play. However, they have also been noted as an \u201cideal pup for almost any home<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Havapoo’s are prone to weight gain, so again, exercise, high-quality food, and limited treats are in order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Maltipoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Maltipoo is a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle. Their size depends on which breed is the father and which is the mother. If the father is a Teacup Poodle and the mother is a Maltese, then the result is a Teacup Maltipoo. These charming and affectionate companion dogs are great for someone who lives alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maltipoos are always ready to play, making them a great choice for an active family. They are low maintenance and easy to train. The Maltipoo thrives on attention and is loyal to its owner. Be aware that this close bond may result in protective behaviors, but this can be managed with proper training. Because of a Maltipoos small size, be sure to supervise introductions to small children and other pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Maltipoos have become high-profile \u201ccelebrity dogs.\u201d Unfortunately, often this means they\u2019re purchased but later abandoned. Consider checking out Maltese rescue centers<\/a> as you look for your new Maltipoo. There are many good resources for more information, including Maltese organizations<\/a> and reputable breeders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Miniature Cockapoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A popular choice for active owners, the Miniature Cockapoo results from crossing a Cocker Spaniel and a Miniature or Toy Poodle. Cockapoos are one of the first mixed breeds, appearing in the 1950s. They are quite intelligent, ranked only behind Collie in overall intelligence. Cockapoos are often likened to teddy bears. Their weight ranges from 12-24 pounds, and color can vary\u2014depending on parent size and traits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miniature Cockapoos are outgoing, happy, and playful.  They enjoy lots of exercise, including water activities such as swimming. Bred to be companion and therapy dogs, they do not like to be left alone. In addition to activities, other care considerations include daily brushing or a shorter, trimmed coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given both parent breeds have rich hunting traditions, (Cocker Spaniel and Poodle), these little guys love chasing squirrels. Early socialization and good training can help but remember to inquire about your potential Cockapoo\u2019s lineage. Cocker Spaniel males and solid color spaniels can exhibit \u201crage syndrome<\/a>\u201d (unprovoked aggression). This syndrome does occur far less frequently in Mini Cockapoos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Poochon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Poochon<\/a> is a mix of Bichon Frise and Poodle. This small, happy dog is full of unconditional love; they are also definitely one of the cutest small Poodle mixes. Poochons come in a variety of colors\u2014including apricot, brown, and dark gray. They may also sport a cute white patch on their chest. Great in an apartment, they enjoy lots of cuddles and playtime.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poochons need to be socialized early on and they enjoy outdoor walks and exercise. They tend to be barkers, so good bark training early on is essential. Poochons also need regular grooming and hair trimming. Otherwise, they are great dogs for first-time owners. Poochons are great companions for single owners as they are quite loyal, bonding closely to their person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Shihpoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This wonderful mix of Shih Tzu and Toy Poodle is playful and fun-loving. A Shihpoo<\/a> is a great choice for all, including families, singles, and seniors. This small Poodle mix is well-suited for apartments and homes without yards and one of the sweetest and gentlest breeds you\u2019ll find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shihpoos love to play; a tennis ball will quickly become their favorite toy. Because they offer endless love and devotion, Shihpoos make a great choice as service animals for those affected by depression or other emotional disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Shihpoo’s independence means a lower chance of separation anxiety than some of the other small poodle mixes, but housebreaking can initially still be challenging. Early training is also essential to control barking. As with most small crossbreeds, food in the form of dry kibble is important; otherwise, dental problems can become an issue. Shihpoos are enthusiastic eaters, so don\u2019t leave kibble sitting out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Yorkiepoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These small bundles of energetic joy<\/a> are affectionate, playful, and easy to train. Yorkiepoo’s are not aggressive or prone to barking. As with other Poodle mixes, they\u2019re great companions for people with allergies. As a result of careful breeding, Yorkiepoos have fewer health issues than either Yorkshire Terriers or Poodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yorkiepoo\u2019s range anywhere from 7 to 12 inches in height and weigh from 3 to 14 pounds. Their size depends on the Poodle line used for breeding. A Yorkiepoo’s coat can present multiple shades of color and markings, depending on parentage. Proper care and feeding include daily brushing and a watchful eye on their diet\u2014no more than one cup of food a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yorkiepoos are curious and friendly. The more they join you on walks and errands, the better. Introducing them to children and four-footed family members early on is a great idea, especially if you have larger dogs or cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
