Cavachon Papers — How to Get Official Registration Documents
Get Official Papers for Your CavachonWhat Are Cavachon Papers?
Cavachon papers record the breed, ancestry and ownership of your dog. The Cavachon is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, bred for a small, affectionate companion with a soft, wavy coat. Adults usually weigh 10 to 20 pounds and appear in white, apricot, cream, blenheim, sable or parti combinations with a fluffy, low-shedding coat that needs regular grooming to keep its shape. Cavachons are typically friendly with people and other pets, adapt well to apartments and want to be near their families. Owners look for papers because these dogs are almost always sold without registration and buyers want a documented type and owner of record they can rely on.
Can You Get Papers for a Cavachon Without AKC Registration?
The AKC does not recognize the Cavachon as a purebred breed, but Designer Kennel Club registers it as a purebred designer dog. As a cross of two companion breeds, the dog has no path into a traditional stud book, and owners who want official documentation have nowhere else to go. Designer Kennel Club (DKC) Foundation Dog Registration covers the cross directly: it records the type and your ownership and issues an official certificate without requiring AKC lineage or breeder cooperation. Coat color and markings are recorded as you describe them, and dogs with no paperwork at all follow the same simple process. Nothing has to be signed by the breeder before you file.

What Cavachon Papers Look Like
A DKC Cavachon certificate carries the registered name you choose, the breed, the dog's date of birth, your name as owner, a unique registration number and the official DKC seal. It arrives as a PDF by email within 2–3 business days, ready to print at home or share with a groomer. The certificate supports vet records, grooming and boarding check-ins, and housing documentation, and it names you rather than the breeder as owner. It records breed and ownership only, and it does not guarantee DNA.
