Hi, I'm Abby

Hi, I'm Abby. I'm the breeder behind Willow Creek Cavapoos, and I raise every litter right in our home in Oppelo, Arkansas. I started this program because I wanted families to have a healthy, well-socialized companion they could trust — and what I love most about Cavapoos is their gentle, people-loving nature. I personally answer every message, text, and email, and I'd love to help you find your perfect puppy.

Welcome to Willow Creek Cavapoos

Raising Cavapoos in Oppelo, Arkansas since 2018

Willow Creek Cavapoos was born from a simple but profound love for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle—two breeds renowned for their gentle spirits, intelligence, and unwavering devotion to their humans. By thoughtfully combining these remarkable breeds, we produce Cavapoos that embody the very best of both worlds. For us, this isn't just a breeding program—it's a calling rooted in years of experience, countless family connections, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Our mission began right here in Oppelo, Arkansas, where we've built a reputation for integrity, health, and heart.

I started Willow Creek Cavapoos in Oppelo, Arkansas because I wanted to create a better option for families searching for a loyal, healthy, and temperamentally sound companion. Too many breeders prioritize profit over people and puppies. We've made a deliberate choice to keep our breeding program small and family-focused, ensuring that every single puppy receives the attention, care, and early socialization they deserve. Each litter is carefully planned, with parent dogs selected not only for their OFA certifications and DNA testing but for their exceptional temperaments and beautiful, low-shedding coats. When you're ready, meet our parent dogs and see available puppies.

Nestled in the rolling hills outside Oppelo, Arkansas, our home is where our puppies spend their first critical weeks. They're raised underfoot—literally in our living spaces—where they experience the everyday sights, sounds, and smells of family life. From day one, our puppies are handled by our children and exposed to different textures, surfaces, and gentle stimulation through our Early Neurological Stimulation program. We believe that a puppy's first weeks of life are the most formative, which is why we invest so heavily in this period. Daily socialization with children and adults, exposure to various environments both inside and outside the home, and positive handling create the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted adult dog.

Our commitment to you doesn't end when you bring your puppy home. We provide lifetime breeder support, nutritional guidance, training advice, and a shoulder to lean on through every stage of your Cavapoo's life. We genuinely want to hear how your puppy is doing—and we're always here if you need us. Our 2-year genetic health guarantee and meticulous health testing demonstrate our confidence in the puppies we produce and our dedication to your family's wellbeing. As a dedicated Arkansas Cavapoo breeder, we take immense pride in the reputation we've built right here in Oppelo, Arkansas, one family at a time.

The Cavapoo

Why Choose a Cavapoo?

The Cavapoo—a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle—is widely regarded as one of the most affectionate, adaptable, and intelligent companion breeds available. Their gentle, eager-to-please nature makes them exceptional family dogs, therapy animals, and loyal companions for individuals of all ages.

Our toy and micro Cavapoos are typically 9–15 pounds as adults, making them the perfect size for both apartment living and homes with spacious yards. Their low-to-non-shedding coats make them an excellent choice for allergy sufferers, and their joyful, social personalities ensure they quickly become the heart of any household.
