Who We Are

Cavoodles and Poodles by Helen (known as “CPH”) was created as a hobby by Helen to breed happy, fun-loving Cavoodle pups as family pets. She chose this breed after years of dog ownership and breeding of Labradors in the 1980s. Helen commenced breeding Cavoodles, now Australia’s most popular breed, because she fell in love with the loveable and appealing Cavoodle, This wonderful dog has amazing attraction to people of all ages, with their good looks, and happy loyal nature. To achieve the well-loved “teddy bear” look, a true Cavoodle needs a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mother and a Toy Poodle father. Helen owns both of these breeds.

Helen also specialises in breeding Toy Poodle puppies. The Toy Poodle has also become popular in Australia in recent times. The Poodle is well known for its French/German origins as a hunting and water dog, bred into the small “toy” poodle many years ago. Toy Poodles makes wonderful pets. They are recognised as the most intelligent breed of dogs, and suit smaller houses and travel well in cars, caravans and boats. They are very good company and are great personalities! They have a lovable nature, a low shedding coat, are smart, alert and have a beautiful appearance. Toy Poodles on average have relatively small litters which restrict their availability compared with other breeds.

A life-long animal lover, Helen has spent many years raising sheep and cattle on the land. She bred Labradors and even raised abandoned native animals including a baby kangaroo!! Our family Tonkinese cats Siri and Teddy, bred some time ago by Helen just fit in and enjoy dog company. Helen recommenced breeding because she loves the exciting experience of raising beautiful puppies and finding loving homes for them.

Our dogs and their pups are really members of our family and Helen goes to great lengths to provide the best quality care, food variety, veterinarian services and a socialised environment. Helen is not a puppy farm. Helen likes to discuss timing with prospective puppy owners and gives advice on the environment for a healthy and happy dog. When litters arrive, inspections and selections can be arranged and a deposit paid after selection to reserve your choice, pending nurturing of the puppies by their mothers, and the puppies gaining sufficient maturity, microchipping, vaccinations and vet checking to allow them to go to new homes. For guidance, from the time of mating, through pregnancy and growing, pups become available in about four months.

Please browse this website to see brief descriptions and pictures of our family.

Helen only breeds pups to be pets, but she does believe that pups should be allowed to grow to early maturity, around 7-10 months, before de-sexing. Owners should discuss this timing with their vet.
