Beagle versus Cavapoo: Overview
Both the Beagle and the Cavapoo are similar in size. The Beagle and the Cavapoo are both small-sized dogs.
Furthermore, the Beagle belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
On the other hand, the Cavapoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
Beagle versus Cavapoo: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Beagle to the Cavapoo based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Beagle and the Cavapoo

| Average Price | $1210 | $2380 |
| Price Range | $700 – $1500 | $1500 – $2895 |
| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests | No Data |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Beagle in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Cavapoo. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Beagle is 71 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Cavapoo is 89 out of 125.
Despite the higher Better-Pet score of the Cavapoo, we still believe that the Beagle is a better pet than the Cavapoo.
This is because Beagles are much cuter but you cannot put a score on cuteness. If you could put a score on cuteness, then the Beagle will come out on top.
Also, we are biased in favor of the Beagle :-). We are for the Beagle. So get a Beagle!
