Cavachon puppies are a hybrid breed between the Cavalier King Charles Spanieland Bichon Frise. Originating in the United States in 1996, the Cavachon quickly earned its place on the list of designer dog breeds. This lovable lap dog makes an incredible companion and tends to form an extremely close bond with its owner. Because of their strong connection they don’t like to be left alone, so if you’re someone who travels or spends a lot of hours at the office this may not be the best fit.
Appearance
With its long to medium length coat and silky fur, and its hypoallergenic coat makes it a perfect pet for anyone suffering with allergies. Their coat can appear wavy or straight with a few different color variations, most commonly white with tan, apricot, red, brown and sometimes with black markings. Unlike some other designer breeds, their parents’ coats will be good guide to your puppy’s color. Because of their long fur they need trimmings once or twice a month depending on the season and the climate. It also needs brushing a few times a week to avoid knots and tangles.
Temperament
Following in the pawsteps of its parents, this charming little puppy is sure to have a sweet and loving temperament. As long as your puppy is with you, they are certainly going to be happy and easy to please. They’re playful and friendly nature allows them to get along well with children and other animals. However, like many small dogs, they can become overly protective as they exhibit “small dog” syndrome. Ensuring proper socialization and training at a young age will surely help to curb this.
Family and Companionship
These little teddy bears make the perfect companion for anyone who is looking for a low maintenance lap dog. They adapt easily to whatever living conditions they are in and will not mind living in apartments or big family homes. They fit in well with a family or with someone who is single or retired. Because they love human interaction so much, they will not do well if left alone for long periods of time.
Exercise
Though very playful, they are not particularly high energy dogs and only require moderate exercise. A daily short walk and some active playtime at home will suit them perfectly.
Training and Socialization
The Cavachon’s moderate to high level of intelligence and obedience helps to make training much simpler. 30 minute training sessions each day are just right for this puppy. In addition, early socialization will help your new pet to be calm in the presence of other people and pets and ease its separation anxiety when its owner leaves.

Rascal (previously Josh) just turned 4 years old and has been the best dog. We then went an got Hub Bub (previously Arthur) in 2020 and he just had his first birthday! This breed is everything you could want in a dog, they are both so loving and social. Loves to cuddle and snuggle but always ready for a good game of fetch! They love everyone they meet! I am a Veterinarian so for me to give such a glowing recommendation for Premier Pups says a lot! I have toured their facility and can attest that they really just want what is best for the puppies, they are kept clean, fed top of the line food, and truly cared for by a great team! I have recommended them to numerous people and will continue to do so. If I am ever in need of another pup I will be coming here no doubt!!

Since my boy just turned 1, I figured it was time to write a review. There are no words to say how thankful I am that I found premier pups and get my first fur baby! Bailey, previously known as Barkley, was 100% CLEARLY taken care of from the minute he was born till he arrived at the airport for me to pick him up. The whole processes was very straight forward from the beginning with Premier Pups there to answer any questions after. Premier pups stayed in contact with us for a few weeks after his arrival insuring we had no other questions and making sure Baileys transition was going well. Since we’ve gotten him, we’ve recommended Premier Pups to everyone, and we get stopped by a lot of people because of how cute he is! If you’re questioning still on whether to go with premier pups or not, I can ensure you you’ve found the best! When the time is right for me to get Bailey a friend, I will definitely be going through them again.

Awesome to work with Premier Pups. Readily answered all our questions and so far (been 10 days) we could not have asked for a better dog. Healthy, full of energy and a ball of cuteness. My wife is extremely pleased with the new addition to our home. Thanks for the great service!!

What a pleasure it is to work with Premier Pups! From choosing your pup to delivery, and all the support beyond, they are exceptional. Whether you’ve been a dog owner all your life or are new to the experience, Premier Pups takes the stress and worry out of bringing your new pup into your fold. I live in Florida and on the day of Griffins flight it was rather warm here. Laws prevent pups from being delivered in excessive temperatures so his flight was changed several times on his arrival date. Premier was amazing in keeping us informed and worry free. They were available by phone well into the night, connecting with us by phone at 1 a.m. after his long day of travel. Our pup arrived happy and healthy, and we knew we had a concerned and caring partner in Premier. Rest assured that Premier Pups has their puppies best interest at heart and know exactly what they’re doing. Thanks so much Lacey and all the staff at Premier!

We brought home Coconut (originally Rosemary) in May 2020. She has been a wonderful addition to our family! She is healthy, happy, loving and a great travel companion. Working with Premier Pups during the early stages of Covid was great. Although we could not visit, they were responsive to all of my questions. I cannot imagine our lives without her!

Mally (formerly Alba) was born on March 23, 2020. We brought her home at 8 weeks and have been in love ever since then. We were nervous about adopting a dog online, but the process could not have gone better. Premier Pups was great with communication and answered all of our questions. They transported her to Washington DC where we picked her up. The process could not have gone smoother. I would love to recommend Premier Pups to other online potential customers. Our vet says she has perfect health and our puppy boarding place said they have heard of other happy Premier Pups customers too. We would love to connect with other puppies from her litter (Annette, Armando, and Arlo)

| Breed: | Cavachon |
| Client: | Lisa Guillot & Mike Leslie |
| Loc: | Sacramento, CA |
We picked up Conan from the airport and he was calm and wonderful. We on the other hand were nervous wrecks, this being our first experience having a puppy flown to us. Conan immediately became a member of our large dog Pack. The other dogs were appropriately disgruntled. lol Conan loves every dog and human he meets. He is super affectionate. He is a true rascal and loves to play as well. Working with premier pups has been amazing. I have never experienced after-adoption support from other breeders. We loved the experience so much that we are considering getting another pup from them!!!

Right after Christmas I went on your website looking for the dog I’ve always wanted. I normally rescue and have loved all my animals with all my heart but I knew it was time to get one I could carry with me on my journeys. ?? Princess Grace has captured everyone’s heart that has met her. I had someone yesterday tell me she was the cutest dog they’d ever seen. I think she is! She is my bundle of joy! Thank you to Premier Pups for making my dream come true! You have answered every phone call and guided me through my first 4 weeks with her. Tmrw will be her 12 week birthday.??

Abby, aka Miranda the Cavachon, first came to us at 2 months old and weighed 3lbs and 10 oz. Now she is one year old and weighs 16 lbs. She was potty trained through the night as soon as she arrived and was filled with sweet puppy energy. We are so glad to have her puppy snuggles in our family and highly recommend Premier Pups. Their staff helped us every step of the way to finding a puppy that has melted our hearts.
