A mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, they inherit the best traits from both breeds, making them friendly, social, and eager to please.

Cavachons are gentle and patient, making them excellent pets for families with children. They are highly adaptable and do well in both apartments and larger homes. Their friendly demeanor means they get along well with other pets, and they rarely meet a stranger they don’t like.

Cavachon Maintenance
Maintaining a Cavachon is relatively easy compared to some other breeds. Their soft, wavy coats require regular brushing several times a week to prevent tangles and keep their fur looking its best. Many owners opt for professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.
In addition to coat care, their ears should be checked regularly for cleanliness, as their floppy ears can be prone to infections. Regular nail trimming and dental care are also important for keeping them in top health. With proper grooming and care, Cavachons remain one of the most adorable and well-mannered companion breeds.
