Cavapoo Puppies
Cavapoo Puppies Available Now
Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit. Litters fill fast.
Gainesville is a college town first. A lot of the Cavapoo calls we get here come from UF professors, grad students, and nurses and doctors at UF Health Shands. That crowd often works long or odd shifts. A Cavapoo is sweet, easy to train, and happy in a small rental near campus. But it gets lonely fast. If nobody will be home for most of the day, set up a dog walker or daycare first, or give us a call and we’ll talk it over.
Every puppy gets ENS neurological training from days 3 through 16 and a 2-year written health guarantee.

Maltipoo Puppies

Much of Gainesville lives in apartments, townhomes, and small rentals, from Midtown near campus out to the complexes along Archer Road. Some of those buildings cap how big a dog can be. At 5 to 15 pounds, a Maltipoo fits under most of those limits. It’s happy with two short walks a day, and its coat sheds very little, which helps if someone in the house has allergies.

Teddy Bear (Shichon) Puppies
Teddy Bear Puppies Available Now
Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit. Litters fill fast.
The Teddy Bear (a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise cross) is the calmest of our three breeds. Away from the game-day crowds, Gainesville has plenty of quiet streets, like the shady blocks of the Duckpond historic district and the winding roads of Haile Plantation. Retired couples there often want a dog that likes the couch more than the trail. That’s this breed. It doesn’t need the heart checks a Cavapoo does. One good walk a day and some company in the evening keep it happy.

Gainesville Weather: What to Expect
Winter (December – February)
Gainesville sits in the middle of North Florida, far from the ocean, so winter here is cooler than most of the state. January highs average about 67°F, and lows average about 45°F. A few nights each winter drop to freezing. Keep a light sweater handy for early walks, especially for a small Maltipoo.
Summer (May – September)
From mid-May to late September, highs stay above 85°F, and July averages about 90°F. June through September is the rainy season, with thunderstorms most afternoons. Walk before 8am or after 7pm, and test the pavement with your hand before a midday walk. Hurricanes are a smaller threat here than on the coast, but it’s smart to have a storm plan from June through November.
Heartworm Prevention
Alachua County has lots of lakes, springs, and wetlands, from Newnans Lake to Paynes Prairie. That means mosquitoes most of the year, even with the cooler winters. Give heartworm prevention every month, all year. Ask Northwood Oaks Veterinary Hospital or your own vet to start it at the first visit.

Questions Gainesville Families Ask
Do you deliver puppies to Gainesville, Florida?
Yes. We deliver Cavapoo, Maltipoo, and Teddy Bear puppies to Gainesville and all of Alachua County for a flat $599. Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit. Or pick up at Deer Run Park in Millersburg, Ohio, about 890 miles away. Call or text Dan and Melissa at (330) 238-8997.
What heart testing do the Cavapoo parents have?
Both Cavapoo parents follow the MVD Breeding Protocol. No Cavalier is bred before age 2.5 without a clear heart exam. Parents also get OFA eye and patella checks plus a full genetic panel. Your Gainesville vet should start yearly heart checks at age 2. The UF Small Animal Hospital has a cardiology team if you ever need a specialist.
Is a Maltipoo a good fit for a Gainesville apartment?
Yes, for most. Adult Maltipoos usually weigh 5 to 15 pounds, which fits under the dog size limits many apartments and townhomes set. They need only a couple of short walks a day. Their small size does mean they can get hurt around toddlers and big dogs, so we talk that through with every family before they reserve.
Do Teddy Bear puppies need any special eye care?
Yes. Teddy Bear puppies get their round, prominent eyes from the Shih Tzu side, and those eyes collect debris more than most breeds. A daily wipe at the inner corners and regular trimming around the eyes keeps them healthy and comfortable.
How do puppies handle Gainesville’s weather?
Gainesville is inland, so winters are cooler than most of Florida. January highs average about 67°F with lows around 45°F, and a few nights each winter hit freezing. Summers are hot and wet, with July highs around 90°F and afternoon storms from June through September. Walk early or late in summer, and keep a light sweater for small puppies on cold winter mornings.

Yes. Deer Run Park is at 3102 Glen Drive, Millersburg, OH 44654, about 890 miles from Gainesville.
