Curly

I am thrilled to introduce you to the love of my life—Curly (Chinese name: 小卷毛儿 Xiao Juan Mao Er), my adorable Blenheim Cavapoo. Curly has brought immense joy and companionship into my world, and I can’t wait to share her story with you.

Curly’s Background

Curly was born in Jan 2023. She is a mix of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle breeds. With her Blenheim-colored coat—a combination of white and reddish-brown patches—she is as stunning as affectionate. Cavapoos are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and gentle nature, making them perfect furry friends for individuals and families alike.

Curly’s Personality

Curly is an absolute sweetheart, spreading joy by enthusiastically greeting everyone she meets. Her curiosity about nature is boundless, and she showcases her intelligence by quickly grasping instructions. Surprisingly brave, Curly fearlessly takes on new challenges, and she remains calm even during visits to the hospital.

Curly’s Adventures

Curly and I have embarked on countless adventures together.
