Cavachon

The Cavachon is a delightful small dog, a popular crossbreed known for its friendly temperament and adorable appearance. Typically a mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, they inherit the best traits of both breeds.

Cavachons are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. Their playful nature and gentle disposition make them excellent companions for families, singles, and seniors alike. They thrive on human interaction and love being part of the family.

Cavachons are small dogs, usually weighing between 12 and 18 pounds. They have a soft, fluffy coat that is typically low-shedding, making them a good choice for people with allergies. Their coat can come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, apricot, and black and tan.

They have a cheerful and affectionate personality, and are known for their ability to get along with children and other pets. Cavachons are also relatively active dogs, and enjoy walks, playtime, and cuddles on the couch.

Care and Maintenance

Cavachons require regular grooming to keep their coat healthy and free of mats. They should be brushed several times a week and bathed as needed. They also need regular exercise to stay happy and healthy. A daily walk and some playtime in the yard will usually suffice.

Health Considerations

As a crossbreed, Cavachons may be prone to certain health conditions that are common in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Bichon Frises. These include heart problems, eye problems, and patellar luxation. It is important to get your Cavachon from a reputable breeder who screens their dogs for these health conditions.
