Things To Know About 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.

They are created by combining a pure Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a full Bichon Frise, which are both listed in the Toy category as far as sizing goes. It is possible to get them by mating two Cavachons of the first generation, though their breeding is difficult which makes them rare and when following generations are bred, certain desired qualities may diminish. There is no authoritative standards set and no major kennel club recognition as they are a mixed breed.

The dogs are small, with a typical adult being no more than eighteen pounds and thirteen inches fully grown. Although various shades of white, peach, and brown are the most common coloring, they can have other colors as well. With coats that are either curly or slightly wavy, but silky, thick, and soft, they shed very little and produce minimal 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.

For anyone who has a limited amount of space, travels a lot or stays in a recreational vehicle, or who has allergies, Cavachons may be the perfect choice. They build wonderful connections with the elderly, children, and other pets. This small breed is sure to provide their families with endless loyalty, much comfort and companionship, and plenty of love.
