Why A Cavachon?

Why choose a Cavachon? We can share why we fell in love with this wonderful breed! If you are looking for a small to medium-sized dog with a gentle temperament, affectionate nature, and an intelligent, easygoing personality and don’t quite want the energy of the cockapoo or cavapoo then the Cavachon may be the companion for you. Their expressive eyes, soft coats, and friendly disposition make them absolutely irresistible. Cavachons are playful yet deeply loyal and love spending time with their families. They are friendly, affectionate, and fantastic with children while also benefiting from an amazing non-shed coat.

Cavachon Personalities

Cavachons are known for their loving, affectionate, and playful nature. 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. They thrive on human companionship and love being around their family, whether playing, cuddling, or simply following their owners around the house.

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.
