What To Know About Cavachons

By Kristen Baird


There are numerous breeds of dogs. Not all dogs are purebred. In fact, there are many kinds created by combing two different breeds. Cavachons are an example of this. They are designer dogs that are the result of breeding together the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise.

People interested in owning one of these dogs is encouraged to do research to find out more about them. Because this animal comes from two separate breeds, it can hard to pinpoint what its exact traits will be. There is no standard, but there are some basic characteristics associated with this type of animal.

Usually these are small in size. This may make them ideal for people living in small spaces who still want to have a pet. When fully grown, most stand only 12 to 13 inches. The coat of this animal is usually wavy, silky and soft. It might be entirely white or white with tan, black or apricot markings.

This kind of dog is known for its accepting, tolerant and gentle nature. It would make for a great pet, especially for families or those who have other animals in the household. Typically the Cavachon dog is energetic, but not hyperactive. They do well with moderate daily exercise that keeps them healthy, in good shape and stimulated. Playing catch, going on a walk or other activities serve as a great energy release for them.

Generally, the dogs are lovable and make great companions. They crave attention and companionship. This is especially true when they are puppies. The dogs should be handled with care while still young, especially because of their small size.

As puppies they are smart and can learn easily. It is essential for pet owners who want to train these animals to be consistent in their training practices so that the dog will understand and learn quickly. The Cavachon dog is best trained while it is still a puppy or at a young age. Obedience training and socialization skills should be implemented as soon as possible to get the best results.

The dogs have quite a lot of hair but are not known to shed very much. Like other designer dogs, some owners or breeders may suggest that these dogs are hypoallergenic, causing less of a response in people with allergies to dander and animals. Even if they do not shed, they require grooming. Without this, their coat may become dirty and matted. Sometimes a trim will be required. Grooming needs may be done by professionals or pet owners themselves.

These animals may suffer with health conditions seen frequently in small breeds. This dog is more prone to ear infections, often caused by the hair growing in their ears. In order to prevent this, pet owners might need to regularly clean out the ears and frequently check for symptoms of infection. Other issues that may develop in these dogs: eye ulcerations, heart murmurs and flea allergies. It is important to find a breeder who can be trusted and has healthy dogs.
