Cavachon

Cavachons (10-20 pounds) are affectionate, loving, and gentle, a delightful cross between Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Bichon Frises, perfect for families of all types, from small children to seniors. They’re excellent with considerate older kids or those raised with them, though supervision is needed with toddlers due to their delicate nature.

Moderate exercise (30-60 minutes daily of walks or play) suits their small frame; their wavy, low-shedding coat, often in red, gold, cream, or white, requires weekly brushing to maintain its teddy bear look. Feed 0.5-1 cup daily of Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws Chicken & Rice, with 23% protein for energy and coat health, monitoring portions to prevent obesity.

Primarily indoor dogs, they adapt well to apartments but thrive with secure yards, alerting to visitors with a non-aggressive bark. Training enhances their easygoing temperament. Ideal for allergy sufferers seeking a hypoallergenic companion, Cavachons flourish with engagement, not for sedentary homes.
