Cavatons are wonderful companion dogs. They combine the fun-loving, playful temperament of the Coton de Tulear, with the more relaxed and gentle characteristics of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Mixing the two breeds also helps reduce the genetic health risks associated with Cavaliers. They are predominately non-shedding and hypoallergenic. They come in a variety of colors. The average weight is between 10 and 20 pounds.
