Cavapoo Puppies
Cavapoo Puppies Available Now
Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit — litters fill fast.
Merritt Island sits between the Indian River and the Banana River, a short drive from Kennedy Space Center, and a good number of our Cavapoo families here work in aerospace or engineering on rotating project schedules rather than a fixed 9-to-5. The breed’s easygoing, people-first nature travels well with that kind of unpredictable calendar, and it settles just as easily into a waterfront townhome as it does a mainland Cocoa Beach cottage. What it won’t do well is get left alone for a long launch-day shift with no one checking in.
Every puppy gets ENS neurological training from days 3 through 16 and a 2-year written health guarantee.

Maltipoo Puppies
Maltipoo Puppies Available Now
Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit — litters fill fast.
A lot of our Merritt Island buyers are retirees and downsizers who traded a bigger mainland house for a smaller place along the Indian River or Banana River, and closet space matters more than yard space at that point. At 5 to 15 pounds with a soft, low-shedding coat, the Maltipoo is an easy fit for a waterfront condo or a compact single-story home, and it’s a common pick for island residents managing dog allergies too.

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 the three breeds we place, and it fits naturally with Merritt Island’s settled, slower-paced households: retirees who’ve lived on the island for decades, couples in the established neighborhoods off Courtenay Parkway who aren’t chasing anything faster than a sunset walk along the river. It skips the cardiac monitoring the Cavapoo needs and asks for little more than a daily walk and steady company.

Merritt Island Weather: What to Expect
Dry Season (November – March)
As a barrier island between the Indian River and the Banana River, Merritt Island gets a steady sea breeze that takes the edge off Central Florida’s heat. Winter highs run in the low-to-mid 70s°F, ideal for a long walk any time of day, no cold-weather gear required.
Summer & Hurricane Season (June – November)
Summer highs sit in the low-90s°F with thick coastal humidity and near-daily afternoon storms. The sea breeze helps some, but it doesn’t erase the heat, so keep walks to before 8am or after 7pm. Hurricane season runs June through November, so have a plan for getting your puppy off the island calmly if a storm is tracking toward the Space Coast.
Heartworm Prevention
Between the Indian River, the Banana River, and the marshy edges of the National Wildlife Refuge, mosquitoes are active on Merritt Island nearly year-round. Year-round prevention isn’t optional here. Ask Courtenay Animal Hospital or your regular vet to start your puppy on a prevention plan at the very first appointment.

Questions Merritt Island Families Ask
Do you deliver puppies to Merritt Island, Florida?
Yes. We deliver Cavapoo, Maltipoo, and Teddy Bear puppies to Merritt Island and all of Brevard County for a flat $599. Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit. Or pick up at Deer Run Park in Millersburg, Ohio, about 995 miles away. Call Dan at (330) 238-8997.
What cardiac 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 cardiac evaluation. Parents also get OFA eye and patella checks plus a full genetic panel. Your Merritt Island vet should start annual cardiac checks at age 2.
How big do Maltipoo puppies get, and are they good for Merritt Island condos?
Adult Maltipoos usually reach 5 to 15 pounds, which makes them an easy fit for waterfront condos and smaller homes on Merritt Island. Their small size does mean real fragility around toddlers and large dogs, so we walk every family through that before reserving.
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 Merritt Island’s weather?
Merritt Island is a barrier island, so the sea breeze off the Indian River and Banana River takes some of the edge off Central Florida’s heat. Winter highs run in the low-to-mid 70s, easy for daily walks. Summer highs reach the low-90s with heavy humidity and near-daily afternoon storms, so shift walks to morning or evening from June through September and keep an eye on hurricane season, June through November.
Can I pick up my puppy at Deer Run Park in Millersburg, Ohio?
Yes. Deer Run Park is at 3102 Glen Drive, Millersburg, OH 44654, about 995 miles from Merritt Island via I-95 North, then I-77 North through the Carolinas and West Virginia into Ohio. Pampered Paws Dog Park is on site. Reserve with a $200 refundable deposit.
