[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neighbor’s cavapoo is adorable but was very hyper as a younger dog. [/quote]

Interesting - thank you. I did not know  them to be hyper dogs so this gives me pause. I did read that it matters what “generation” you get, and that F1 (cavalier plus poodle) are supposed to be calmer than F1b (cavapoo plus poodle) - since the latter has more poodle genes = more high strung.

That's like saying all human siblings will have a certain percentage of their mom's traits. Genes come through differently for each living being.[/quote]

Well, yes. But obviously a dog that is 75% poodle and 25% cavalier is going to have a greater tendency to have more poodle traits than a dog that is 50/50, both physically and behaviorally. F1b puppies are purposely bred to have more “poodle” in them - for the curlier, more “hypoallergenic” coat. [/quote]

To say you're surprised a dog with poodle DNA would be hyper is silly though. [/quote]

Point is, that the gene mix matters. PP doesn’t mention (or probably know) what generation the neighbor’s dog is, and an F1b is much more likely to be hyper than an F1. They are both just called cavapoos. But if you are looking for specific personality traits, the parent dog breed/generation is an important consideration. [/quote]
