Cavachons 101

Crossbred group

As the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has eclipsed the American Cocker Spaniel in popularity, it’s no real surprise that Cavalier crosses have risen in popularity. The Cavachon, a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Cavalier, is an intelligent, playful and loving companion.

Nationwide Outline Icons Vibrant Blue Heart 24x24pxWhat we love about Cavachons

Blend of two sweet, family-oriented breeds

As with the similar Cavapoo (Cavalier crossed with Poodle), the Cavachon coat may vary in texture and color and is easier to keep neat if kept clipped short. As with other similar mixes, the Cavachon may be more easily tolerated by people with allergies.
