Spaniel

The Cavachon—a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise—is a small, spirited breed. Cavachons combine the best of both worlds: the Cavalier's friendly nature and the Bichon's hypoallergenic coat. Each Cavachon is unique, inheriting traits from either parent, so they vary in size, shape, coat, and color. Generally, though, they are lively, funny, and affectionate dogs.
