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.
This breed has an incredibly loving and outgoing personality. They have a warm and gentle temperament and are very easy-going dogs. They tend to be very loyal to their families and enjoy as much love and attention as you can give them. They are not aggressive dogs and do great with children and other animals in the house.
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.
Proper feeding of your Cavachon is very important for his mental and physical development, especially as a puppy. It is suggested that they should eat about one and a quarter cups of food per serving two times a day. The feedings are best spaced out twelve hours apart. Making sure the Cavachon's teeth remain clean is also an important part of his health. Cavachon owners should also be sure to keep their dog's nails clipped which will help the dog look and feel his best. Taking a few basic steps will help keep your dog healthy and happy.
