By Olive Pate


Cavachon is one of the popular god breeds that resemble the teddy bears and have easygoing character. The first dog of this breed was born when the king Charles cavalier mated with bichon fries. Their breeding resulted in a group of litter that resembled a teddy bear. Their average weight is between 10 to 20 pounds. The cavachons are actually beautiful animals.

They have noticeable and also beautiful eyes that everyone notices. They got this beautiful feature from their original parents. They also inherited droopy ears and the silky coats from cavaliers. Blenheim is one of the colors they get. In this they are white with some apricot patches. They may also have three colors of white, black and tan or of black and white. For the ruby type, they appear apricot with few or none white areas.

They inherited the low shed and the low dander furs from the bichon. They are suitable for families whose members are allergic to fur. They have a coat that ranges from wavy to curly. For the first six months of their life, the coat will appear silky and also tend to lengthen quickly in short duration.

Grooming is recommended at the age of four months. After that, a permanent coat is achieved and their silky coat is shed naturally. At the age of six months, the wavy coat grows. They are groomed at intervals of three months through trimming. This can be done once before the three months are over at the head crown to get a puppy cut.

You can keep them in apartments or a condo where they will be comfortable doing their activities in the homes. They have varied activities to do. They do play mostly when resting and they are so particular on this. They look for quiet environments or get in your lap and rest. They are happy when they chase around. They can make good retrievers. Their other favorite activity is the tug battle.

They usually are very intelligent making them easy to coach. Another feature which facilitates this is how eager they are to please. They get commands easily. However, for the best outcomes, the training should be started off early in their life. Only qualified professionals should be hired to take them through the training.

As with other small breeds, they also require training from a consistent and also firm leader of the park. The leader is not supposed to be aggressive. If he is aggressive, they may develop the tiny dog syndrome where they believe that one of them is more powerful than them.

Their maintenance cost is quite high. Bathing and brushing should be done weekly so that the curly waves do not mat. Grooming is to be undertaken too and eye care provided. This further escalated the expenses incurred in their maintenance. As they cannot eat just any type of food, the sums spent in buying them food are quite huge. Despite this, they bring immense happiness to all who come into contact with them and once one gets attached, it is impossible to live without them.
