History

What do you get when you combine the Cavalier King Charles and the Bichon Frise? The Cavachon! This breed has become one of the United States’ most popular breeds of dogs. It is widely believed that the Cavachon was designed by breeders in North America in 1996. The goal was to create a gentle companion dog that fit well into families. This breed’s parent Bichon Frise originated in the Mediterranean and descended from water spaniels. This breed’s second parent, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is known for her gentle and loving demeanor and calm and loving disposition.

Appearance

The Cavachon is a low-shedding dog that does not need an excessive amount of care. A basic routine of brushing once a day is suggested to keep him looking and feeling his best. Many Cavachon owners find themselves using a metal comb which helps to prevent tangles and matting in their fur. This breed has a very clean and soft coat which looks amazing even after a simple brushing. Their coats also do benefit from a bi-weekly bath. This breed can be found in black and white with tan markings, black with tan markings, Blenheim with chestnut markings, and ruby.

Care
