Also known as the Forever Puppy or Cavapoochon, this adorable designer breed is famous for its youthful appearance that lasts a lifetime. With their playful and affectionate personality, Forever Puppies are the perfect combination of charm, intelligence, and companionship. These small, cheerful dogs are ideal for families and individuals seeking a loving, low-shedding companion that always looks like a puppy.
The Forever Puppy is a mix between a Toy Poodle and a Cavachon — a hybrid of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise. Occasionally, Cocker Spaniel or Shih Tzu bloodlines are also part of the mix, depending on the breeder. They were intentionally created for their irresistibly cute, forever-young look, hence their name. Their coats come in a variety of colors, including red, apricot, cream, tan, and white. Forever Puppies are small, soft-coated dogs with expressive eyes and a happy, teddy-bear-like face that makes them nearly impossible to resist.
Forever Puppies are affectionate, friendly, and eager to please, making them great companions for children, seniors, and other pets. They are intelligent and easy to train thanks to their Poodle heritage, and they thrive on attention and positive reinforcement. While playful and active, they are just as content to cuddle on the couch, making them an adaptable choice for various living environments. These dogs are generally healthy but can inherit conditions such as luxating patella, heart problems, or hip dysplasia. Their coats require regular brushing several times a week — sometimes daily — to avoid matting, and professional grooming every few months helps maintain their soft texture. Forever Puppies need around an hour of daily exercise through walks, fetch, or indoor play to stay happy and healthy. Thanks to their Poodle and Bichon lineage, they are low-shedding and typically hypoallergenic, making them an excellent option for allergy sufferers who want a loving, lifelong “puppy” by their side.
The average cost of a purebred Forever Puppies puppy in the United States is approximately $570, though prices can vary based on factors such as pedigree, breeder reputation, and location.
