Cavachon Singapore: Both Parents on the HDB List
Cavachon Singapore, the short answer: $3,688–$5,988 from an AVS-licensed farm, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Bichon Frise, and both parent breeds are named on HDB’s list of 62. It weighs 5–9 kg grown and lives 12–15 years.
The housing answer is the easy part. The section that should decide this purchase is the one about the heart, and it comes before temperament on this page for that reason.
Is a Cavachon HDB-approved?
Both parent breeds are named on the list of 62. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is on it and so is the Bichon Frise, which is the same argument that puts the Cavapoo and the Poochon on this site’s approved side. Confirm your own dog with HDB rather than a seller.
Why both parents matter
HDB approves breeds by name, and a cross has no name on that list. What a buyer can check instead is whether both parent breeds are on it, and for this cross they are. The full HDB-approved breed list carries the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise.
That puts this cross in better shape than most of what gets sold as a designer dog here. A Goldendoodle has a Golden Retriever behind it and a Cockapoo has a Cocker Spaniel, and neither of those appears on the list at all, so neither has the argument available.
A condominium or landed home carries no breed restriction of this kind, so this question only decides matters for flat buyers. It happens that most households here live in flats.
What you still have to do yourself
- Make sure the paperwork names the parent breeds rather than describing the dog generally.
- Licence the dog, which is a separate legal requirement from the breed question.
- Confirm the one-dog rule against your own household before you commit.
Confirm your own dog against HDB’s own pet rules rather than resting on any seller’s reading of them, this one included.

AvailableWhere these puppies come from
They are raised at William Goh Pet Farm, the AVS-licensed farm behind this website, licence BR25052, and you can come and meet one by appointment before anything is decided. Ask us the heart question in person. It is the right question and we would rather you asked it.
The card price is the price
Not a starting point, and not a figure that moves once you are interested. Every puppy available this week sits on one page under the same rule.
The heart question, and why it comes first
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel carries mitral valve disease, an inherited heart condition in which a valve degenerates over time. It is common in that breed, and crossing it with something else does not remove it.
We are selling you this dog and putting that in the section above temperament, because it is the fact most likely to change what you do next.
What each parent brings, and what to ask about
What to ask about the Cavalier parent
- Was the Cavalier parent heart-screened, and at what age was it screened.
- What was the result, and can you see the certificate rather than be told about it.
- Was it screened for syringomyelia as well, which is the other condition associated with the breed.
Age matters on this one because the condition develops over time, so a clear result on a young dog says less than the same result on an older one. A seller who cannot answer that question is worth walking away from, whoever they are.
We are not going to put a percentage on how common it is. We have not sourced one we would stand behind, and inventing a number about a serious health matter to make a page look authoritative would be worse than telling you less.
What the Bichon side brings
The coat, mostly, and a steadier temperament. A Bichon Frise is a cheerful, level small dog without the drive a Poodle brings, and that is why this cross reads as calm.
From that side the things to ask about are allergies and luxating patella. Neither is in the same category as the heart, and both are worth raising.
Is a Cavachon calmer than a Cavapoo?
Usually, and this is one of the few cross comparisons with a clean answer. Both have the same Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent, so the difference is entirely the other half.
| Cavachon | Cavapoo | |
|---|---|---|
| Shared parent | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel |
| Second parent | Bichon Frise | Poodle |
| Both parents on the HDB list | Yes | Yes |
| Adult size | 5–9 kg | 4–8 kg |
| Typical energy | Lower, steadier | Brighter, busier |
Same spaniel, different second parent
A Poodle is a working breed with real drive behind it. A Bichon Frise is a companion breed and was never asked to do anything else. Put either one over the same spaniel and you get a different dog out of it.
Neither is better and neither is a promise. Temperament varies by individual dog whatever the cross, and the mother you meet tells you more than the label does. The Cavapoo page sets that cross out in the same detail, and the heart question applies there too.
Is a Cavachon a smart dog?
Bright and, more usefully, willing. Both parents were bred to work with people rather than independently, so this is a cross that wants to get things right.
It is not the sharpest small dog you could buy, and it is one of the easier ones to live with. For most households the second of those matters considerably more than the first.
The coat and the ears
Low shedding is what people buy this cross for, and it is the standing cost of owning one. Both of those are true at once.
Two routines, one of them weekly
Brushing between grooms
Brush in sections, lifting the coat and working from the skin outwards. Going over the top of the coat feels productive and leaves the layer underneath exactly as it was.
Dry the dog properly after a bath or rain. In this climate a towel-dried soft coat stays damp for hours, and damp is where matting starts.
The weekly ear check
Drop ears come from the Cavalier side. Ears that hang, a coat that holds moisture and this humidity are the same combination the Cockapoo page describes, and they produce the same result if nobody looks.
Lift the ear once a week and look. You are checking for redness, smell or discharge, because an ear infection caught early is a conversation with a vet rather than a course of treatment, and ear infections are the commonest reason drop-eared crosses see one here.
Buying a Cavachon Singapore families keep in a flat
Supply here is thin, the price moves more than buyers expect, and the health question that should decide the purchase is one almost nobody raises. Those three, in that order.
What moves the price here
Cavachon Singapore price varies more than buyers expect for a small cross, because supply is thin and most of these dogs are imported rather than bred locally. Ours are $3,688–$5,988, and the figure on each card is that puppy’s price rather than a starting position.
A cheaper Cavachon for sale is not automatically a worse dog, and it is a reason to ask more questions rather than fewer. The heart screening on the Cavalier parent is where those questions should start.
Cavachon Singapore rescue and adoption
We sell puppies and we do not rehome adults, so anyone searching Cavachon Singapore rescue is asking the wrong people. It is a fair thing to look for, and a cross this uncommon comes up in shelters rarely, though it is worth asking them rather than assuming.
If adopting matters more to you than the breed does, our adoption guide sets out the route here, and saying so costs us the sale.
If a different breed suits you better
The Cavachon dog breed is one of several small low-shedding options on the approved list, and it is not automatically the right one. Our breed directory marks which of our breeds are HDB-approved on every card, and some of them carry nothing like the same inherited health question.
That sentence points at dogs we would rather sell you instead. It is still the honest thing to put on a page about this cross.
The Cavachon and Cavapoo are the two we are most often asked to compare, and they share a parent, so whichever you choose the heart screening question is the same one.
The needs of a Cavachon are modest by the standards of most of what we list.
- A small flat suits it, which is not true of most of what we sell.
- The exercise is a walk rather than an expedition.
- Keeping Cavachons healthy is mostly about the coat, the ears and the heart screening.
Ask to meet the dog you are considering, and its mother, before anything is decided.
Does Cavachon bark a lot?
No. This is one of the quieter small crosses we sell, and in a flat that is worth more than it sounds on paper.
Both parent breeds are companion dogs rather than watchdogs, and the Cavalier side in particular is not typically reactive. What makes any small dog noisy is boredom, or being left too long before it has learned to be alone, and neither of those is the breed’s fault.
What are the pros and cons of owning a Cavachon?
Both columns, stated plainly, because a page with only one of them is an advertisement rather than an answer.
- For: small, calm, affectionate and quiet, with both parent breeds named on the HDB list.
- For: low shedding, and a temperament that suits first-time owners better than most crosses.
- Against: the coat is weekly work and the ears need a routine, for the whole of the dog’s life.
- Against: the Cavalier side carries a serious inherited heart condition, and that is a question to settle before buying.
Who this dog does not suit
A household that is out from morning until night, because this is a companion cross from two companion breeds and it wants company rather than tolerating its absence.
Anyone who wants a low-effort dog, because the coat is the effort. And anyone who would rather not think about the heart question, because it does not go away by being skipped.
What's the lifespan for a Cavachon?
Our own breed record gives 12–15 years, which is a normal span for a small dog and a long commitment by any measure.
The thing most likely to shorten it is the heart condition on the Cavalier side, which is exactly why that question belongs at the start of a purchase rather than at the end of one.
What to ask a breeder
- Was the Cavalier parent heart-screened, at what age, and can you see the certificate.
- Was either parent screened for syringomyelia.
- What were both parents screened for on eyes and patellas.
- Can you see the mother with the litter, in the place they are kept.
- Is the seller licensed, and what is the licence number.
None of those questions is rude and none should be awkward to answer. A seller who deflects on the first one has told you something useful.
What a Cavachon costs here, and what is included
What a Cavachon costs in Singapore depends on the puppy, and ours are $3,688–$5,988. That is the range of the ones listed above rather than a headline figure, and it moves as the roster turns over.
What the price covers
- The vet health check, and vaccinations to date with deworming at each visit.
- Microchipping, health certification and ancestry records.
- The record booklet, with the dates written in it, handed over with the puppy.
Homecoming at about week 9
Puppy vaccination sets the date. Core doses at weeks 6 and 8 on the farm, homecoming about a week after the second, and the third at week 12 with your own vet.
An optional fourth at week 16 follows if your vet advises it. The vaccination schedule sets out the whole first year.

- The puppies, the photographs and the prices: the live roster sheet, synced August 2026. Every card is a real puppy at the farm and the price on the card is the price. The range on this page is read from the site’s breed data, which is itself set from the listing rather than typed.
- The HDB answer: the 62-breed list published on our own HDB page, checked for this page. It names the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and it names the Bichon Frise. It does not name the Cavachon, because it names breeds rather than crosses, which is exactly why this page talks about the parents. Confirm your own dog against HDB’s own pet rules, confirmed in a browser on 25 August 2026 since the host blocks automated requests.
- The heart condition: mitral valve disease is a recognised inherited condition of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We name it and tell you what to ask. We deliberately publish no prevalence figure, because we have not sourced one we would stand behind and a number invented to look authoritative would be worse than saying less.
- Adult size and lifespan: our own breed record, 5–9 kg and 12–15 years, published as ranges because a cross inherits a range rather than a size.
- The Cavapoo comparison: our own breed records for both crosses, which is why the table gives figures rather than impressions.
- The coat and the ears: first-party, from raising both parent breeds at the farm in this climate.
- Who we are: Puppy Singapore is the online marketplace of William Goh Pet Farm, the licensed farm where these puppies are raised. Our breeder licence is BR25052, checkable on the AVS public register rather than something to take our word for.
- What we deliberately do not do here: claim that HDB approves the Cavachon, because it approves named breeds and a cross is not one; put an unsourced figure on the heart condition; claim the cross is hypoallergenic or healthier than its parent breeds, which on this page would paper over the heart condition specifically; publish a number of hours it can be left alone; or name any competing seller, shop, forum, breed club or social account.

Cavachons in Singapore, answered
Is a Cavachon HDB-approved?
Both of its parent breeds are named on HDB’s list of 62, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise, which is the same argument that makes the Cavapoo and the Poochon suitable on this site. HDB approves named breeds rather than crosses, so confirm your specific dog with HDB rather than relying on any seller, us included, and make sure the paperwork names the parent breeds rather than describing the dog in general terms.
What is a Cavachon crossed with?
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. Both are named on the HDB list, which is what puts this cross on a better footing than most designer dogs sold here. The pairing is also why the health section on this page leads with the heart rather than the coat.
Is a Cavachon calmer than a Cavapoo?
Usually, and for once the reason is clean. Both crosses have the same Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent, so the difference is entirely the other half: a Bichon Frise is a steadier, less driven dog than a Poodle. A Cavapoo tends to be brighter and busier and a Cavachon calmer. Neither is better, and temperament still varies by individual dog whatever the cross.
What health problems do Cavachons have?
The one to ask about first is mitral valve disease, an inherited heart condition common in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Crossing the breed does not remove it. Also from the Cavalier side, syringomyelia. From the Bichon side, allergies and luxating patella, and eye conditions come from both. Ask what each parent was screened for by name, and for the Cavalier parent ask at what age.
What are the pros and cons of owning a Cavachon?
In favour: small, calm, affectionate, low-shedding, quiet for its size, and both parent breeds are on the HDB list. Against: the coat is real weekly work rather than occasional, the drop ears need checking as a routine, and the Cavalier side carries a serious inherited heart condition you should be asking about before you buy rather than after.
Does Cavachon bark a lot?
No, this is one of the quieter small crosses we sell. Both parent breeds are companion dogs rather than watchdogs and the Cavalier side in particular is not typically reactive. In a flat with neighbours through the wall that counts for more than it sounds on paper.
Is a Cavachon a smart dog?
Bright and, more usefully, willing. Both parents were bred to work with people rather than independently, so this is a cross that wants to get things right, which makes training straightforward. It is not the sharpest small dog you could buy and it is one of the easier ones to live with, and for most households the second matters more.
Do Cavachons shed?
Very little, which is the appeal, and coat type varies across a cross. Low shedding is a claim about hair rather than about allergies. Whether a particular person reacts to a particular dog is something only time in the same room settles, and no breeder can promise it.
How big does a Cavachon get?
Small. Our own breed record gives 5–9 kg as an adult, published as a range because a cross inherits a range rather than a size. Both parent breeds are small, so this cross varies less than the poodle crosses do, where the Poodle parent can pull the adult size a long way in either direction.
What’s the lifespan for a Cavachon?
Our own breed record gives 12–15 years. The thing most likely to shorten it is the heart condition on the Cavalier side, which is the reason that question belongs at the start of a purchase rather than at the end of it.
How much is a Cavachon puppy in Singapore?
Ours are $3,688–$5,988, which is the range of the puppies listed on this page rather than a headline figure. That includes the vet health check, vaccinations to date, deworming, microchipping, health certification and ancestry records. The price on each card is the price for that puppy.
When can a Cavachon puppy come home?
At about week 9. Core vaccinations are given at weeks 6 and 8 at the farm, with deworming at each visit, and homecoming follows about a week after the second dose. The third is due at week 12 with your own vet, and an optional fourth at week 16 if your vet advises it.
