Discover The Joy Of Cavachon Pups

By Raymond Brooks


Dogs make wonderful companions who are always there to make a person feel loved, to entertain, to comfort, and who are infinitely loyal. When the time come to choose a new pet, it is important to make sure to opt for an animal whose health risks, grooming needs, personality characteristics, general behavioral traits, and activity levels, are suitable to the way one lives their life. Cavachon pups are a designer breed that has many attractive qualities that make them great for most any situations.

These dogs are a combination of a pure bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a full blooded Bichon Frise, both of which fall under the Toy category in sizing. They are may also be obtained by mating two first generation Cavachons though they are difficult to breed, making them rare, and certain qualities may diminish if further generations are mated. As a mix, they are not recognized by major kennel clubs and there are no authoritative standards in place.

At approximately thirteen inches in height and weighing roughly eighteen pounds fully grown, this breed is rather small. They come in a range of colors though primarily the are various shades of peach, brown, and white. Listed as hypoallergenic, their coats are curly or slightly wavy, thick, soft, and silky, shed only minimally and produce practically no dander.

Their average lifespan is about 15-20 years and with regular checkups and proper care, they should remain relatively healthy. They are prone to issues typical of small dog breeds such as flea allergies, heart murmurs, and eye ulcerations caused by their hair getting into their eyes. Their ears need to be cleaned weekly because fur grows in them which can lead to infections.

Cavachons are social, intelligent, affectionate, gentle, friendly, and though energetic, they are not hyperactive. These dogs are generally well behaved while indoors but daily walks or a bit of playtime will help them get rid of excess energy. They are happiest when around other household pets or people, and tend to form very profound bonds with their humans.

The upkeep and maintenance of this particular breed can be rather time consuming. They do not shed much but their fur is thick, wavy or curly and has a tendency to become badly matted. If a person is not willing to take the time to thoroughly brush their pet's coat on a daily basis, the costs of required trips to a professional groomer could grow significant.

This is an intelligent breed and the dogs are relatively fast learners when training is done consistently. It is best to begin their socialization and behavioral education while very young so that they do not form negative habits first that will have to be overcome. The sooner their obedience conditioning starts, the better the results will be.

This small breed is a great choice for any individual who has allergies, has limited living space, or travels with their pet often. These dogs are wonderful with children, the elderly, and other types of household pet. Cavachons will provide their owners with lots of love and affection, endless loyalty, and years of comfort and companionship.
