It's a very common Poodle crossbreed, with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel .. one of the OG 'designer crossbreeds'. They are very similar to cockapoos.

What’s a designer crossbreed?

They are controlled crossbreed from 'pure' breeds. E.g. most cavapoos are from a pure Poodle X pure Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. You do get some Cavapoos born from Cavapoo X Cavapoo, known as F2's .. but that's how you get recessive genes causing problems.

Most cavapoos are mix’s that are sold by puppy farmers. There isn’t that much control in their breeding. The breeders don’t keep those kind of records. Labradoodles are the only mixed breed that have that level of control and that’s because the breeders/clubs are trying to become a legitimate breed.

There is no registered breed as a cavapoo. It doesn’t have recognition by any body that registers dogs. You can’t get pedigrees for them. The likelihood of this person having official paperwork that says cavapoo or even knowing the dogs parents, is probably low. That or they paid for a dog with no papers and believed what the person told them without verification.

nobody but dog breeders care about dog breeders opinions on what constitutes a breed.

If that was true, people wouldn’t make up names like cavapoo. They would just say dog.
