If you live in a warmer area, you are recommended not to get a Cavoodle. The reason behind this is that they are very sensitive to heat and may die if exposed to heat for a long time.
Bernedoodle
Bernedoodle is not much older breed as it was first bred by Sherry Rupke in 2003 as she wanted to develop a dog with a low-shedding coat, overloaded intelligence, and beautiful colors; therefore, she crossbred Poodle with the Bernese Mountain dog.

The Cockapoo has an exceptional temperament and is easy to train. As it is a toy dog breed, it can easily adapt to live in a small-sized home. Like a Poodle, it also comes in three different types, or we can say three different sizes; Tiny, Mini, and Standard.
