Willow
Willow is an enthusiastic Red Parti Cavapoo with flowing wavy curls. Our plan with Willow is to create a sustainable and healthy Cavapoo with endearing attributes of the Cavalier's temperament paired with a Miniature Poodle or with one of our Cavapoo males.
Willow has 2 copies of furnishings which controls the fur on the legs and face, and determines if a dog will have a smooth coat (no furnishings), semi-fluffy coat (1 copy), or a super fluffy coat like Willow (2 copies). She also carries 1 copy for curls which controls whether a dog has easy-maintenance loose wavy curls (1 copy) or the tight higher-maintenance Poodle-like curls (2 copies). And Willow carries 2 copies for low shedding which is key for producing low to non-shedding coats in her future puppies. These traits mean that Willow will have the ability to produce non-shedding coats that will be tailored for those with severe allergies, all the while keeping a looser curl and thus making the coat much more manageable for pet owners.
We can trace Willow's line back 3+ generation of health screened dogs which gives us confidence in selecting an lower generation Cavapoo from to build a brighter and healthier future for the Cavapoo. We also have Willow's full brother, Birch, from the same parents and health screened line.
Willow came to us as a puppy from a breeder in Southern Ontario.
Both her parents come from pure and healthy lines!
Patellas: Grade 0 / NORMAL
Blood Panel: NORMAL
Canine Health Check: CLEAR / NORMAL
(Canine Health Check screens for 283 inherited diseases and 45 traits)
WISDOM PANEL: CLEAR / NORMAL
(TOP OF THE AVERAGE RANGE FOR HETEROZYGOSITY WHICH LOWERS THE RISK OF GENETIC DISEASE)
The heterozygosity test is SO IMORTANT for any Cavalier mix and breeding should only take place when a dog
is at the high end of the typical range for their particular mix to maintain overall diversity and health!
Willow has been tested through Canine Health Check (by Paw Print Genetics) for BOTH the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle Breed Profile (diseases commonly carried by the breeds) and also CLEAR for a total of 282 other testable diseases that are uncommon (but not impossible) for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle, but are commonly found in other breeds.
AND Willow's has been DNA tested through Wisdom Panel to establish that she has good genetic diversity for the Cavapoo hybrid, as well as, GENETIC HEALTH TESTED through Wisdom Panel for a total of 267 diseases and traits which covers all bases and uses another testing laboratory to cross-confirm the health and the healthy genes passed down through Willow's parents.
