Cavachon is among the popular crossbreed dogs owing to the resemblance to teddy bears and an easygoing character. The first offspring of these bred arose when bichon fries mated with a king Charles champion cavalier in 1996. The result was a tiny litter with a teddy bear like appearance. They usually weigh between ten to twenty pounds. The cavachons are very beautiful.
Their most striking feature is the big beautiful eyes. These are characteristics prominent in the bichon and also king Charles cavalier. It is from the cavalier that cavachon get their long droopy ears and a coat which is silky. Blenheim is one of the colors they take, which is white having apricot patches. The next one is tri-color which can either be white, black and tan or white and black. The last one is ruby which is dark apricot having less or no white.
They got their low shed and their dander furs from bichon breeds. This is why they are better pets for homes where members get allergies on contact with fur. Their coats will range from the wavy to the curly types. In half a year, they will have silky coat which tends to grow longer in a short time.
Grooming is recommended at the age of four months. After that, a permanent coat is achieved and their silky coat is shed naturally. At the age of six months, the wavy coat grows. They are groomed at intervals of three months through trimming. This can be done once before the three months are over at the head crown to get a puppy cut.
Cavachon breeds are great for those who stay in apartments or condos because they become comfortable even in small spaces like within the house. When do something as per the book. If it playtime then they do just that and when it resting time, they move to a calm areas and rest. They love to race things round the areas.
