Cavachon: A Bundle of Love and Affection
A Cavachon is what is known as a “designer” breed. This breed is a mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. When you mix two breeds you end up with a mixture of looks and personality.
A Cavachon can range in size from 10 to 20 pounds. Their coat can be silky and slightly wavy or loosely curled. Their coat comes in a variety of colors which are;
- Peach
- Peach and White
- Buff and White
- Sable and White
- Black and tan; OR
- Tri-colored
Their coat is a medium length and they shed very little which makes them perfect for individuals suffering from allergies. You do want to make sure that they are brushed regularly or professionally groomed.
Just like a Yorkie the Cavachon is a perfect apartment dog. They require regular exercise but most of this can be accomplished indoors.
Cavachons are friendly, intelligent, gentle, playful and social. They do not like to be alone for long periods of time since they are very family oriented. They are very non-aggressive but they will let you know if they see a stranger or hear an unfamiliar sound.
Overall, the Cavachon has a cheerful attitude which is gained from the Cavalier and the Bichon.
