The Complete Guide To The Cavapoochon
Cavapoochon Puppy
What is a Cavapoochon?
Cavalier King Charles + Bichon Friese = Cavachon wait, we're not done yet... Cavachon + Poodle = Cavapoochon
Essentially Cavapoochons are 1/4 Cavalier, 1/4 Bichon and 1/2 Poodle
This combo of three individual breeds creates beautiful dogs with wavy to curly hair, longer & somewhat floppy ears, and thick non shedding coats that can have a beautiful variation of colors and markings.
What is the size of a Cavapoochon?
Cavapoochons range anywhere from 12 - 18 lbs depending on the size of their parents and stand anywhere from 11- 14 inches tall. We love this size for the perfect house dog!
What does a Cavapoochon look like?
Cavapoochons are known to look like puppies for their whole lives! They have a variety of coat color and texture which makes it possible to choose the appearance you may be looking for. Common colors are red, apricot, cream, and white. More often then not, they also have beautiful white markings on the darker coats! Their coats range from wavy to curly.
Are Cavapoochons smart?
Thanks to their poodle blood, Cavapoochons are super smart! We often joke that they have enough poodle to be super easily trainable, but not to much to make them stubborn. They are super receptive to treats and praise which makes them highly motivated to learn.
Do Cavapoochons have health issues?
All dogs can be prone to different health issues depending on their breed, but we do find the mixture of these three breeds makes for very healthy dogs! If anything, we see some sensitive tummies coming from the Cavalier portion of them, which can be easily handled with the right type of food, often something with salmon and rice. Of course there can always be fluke things that pop up, but responsible breeders should be able to provide you with genetic testing of the parents to ensure they are not geneitcally predisposed to any issues.
What kind of grooming does a Cavapoochon need?
Frequency of grooming is dependent on your preference for length. We typically recommend a grooming once every few months. More importantly, your cavapoochon will need a daily or weekly brushing out of their fur to prevent mats and knots. Typically your dog thoroughly enjoys a good comb and it can be a great bonding experience for the both of you!
How much exercise does a Cavapoochon need?
We feel the combo of breeds that makes up the Cavapoochon creates a cuddly, yet playful dog. This being said, your puppy will need to get its energy out with around 30-40 mins of exercise per day. This can come in many different forms to fit your lifestyle. They love to walk and run thanks to their poodle blood, but they also require less exercise because of their more laid back Bichon and Cavalier blood. Because of this they do great in apartments or more residential or rural areas.
