Meet Paddington Rubin & London Weinberg: Two Cavachon Siblings, One Sweet Friendship

Yvonne Hanna

Some puppy stories are extra special—and this is one of them.

Paddington Rubin and London Weinberg are Cavachons by Design cavachon siblings who hit the jackpot when they each went to live with two friends. Now, not only do they get to enjoy wonderful families, but they also get to see each other often—and have become the very best of buds.

From week-long “extended sleepovers” to top-down car rides, playdates, and even shopping trips, these two are inseparable. Their adventures are just as full of laughter as they are of tail wags.

Sure, when they first met, Paddington was a littl

Meet Bracket: A Therapy Dog Bringing Smiles to an Orthodontist’s Office

Yvonne Hanna

At Cavachons by Design, every puppy placement is special and intentional — each one has their own story. Today, we’d like to share Bracket’s.

Carrying On a Legacy of Comfort

For 14 wonderful years, Smiley, another Cavachon, faithfully served as a therapy companion in Dr. Jack Fisher’s orthodontic office. Smiley wasn’t just a friendly presence — she was a certified emotional support dog who had passed a rigorous 13-task test with flying colors. Patients adored her, and she became an irreplaceable pa

🐾 From Heartbreak to Healing: The Scaglione Family’s Story

Yvonne Hanna

Honoring Mia and Welcoming Ollie

When Anthony and Marie Scaglione first reached out, their message was tender and raw:

“We just lost our 12-year-old Cavachon, and we are devastated… Her name was Mia Bella — ‘my beautiful’ in Italian — but we just called her Mia. Our girls are heartbroken too.”

Mia had been more than a pet — she was woven into the fabric of their lives. Her absence left the home quiet and hearts broken. But even in their grief, the Scagliones knew they were ready to welc

🐾Bode: The Cavachon Who Stole His Family’s Heart—and the Neighborhood’s Too

At Cavachons by Design, we love hearing how our puppies grow into beloved family members. Some of the most meaningful moments come from updates like this one—from Carole, who welcomed one of our beautiful Cavachons into her heart and home years ago.

As a sports fan with the last name Miller, Carole and her husband found the perfect name for they’re new pup: Bode—inspired by none other than Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller. And just like his namesake, this Bode has a champion spirit all his own.

From the very beginning, Bode made an unforgettable impr

On any given day, you’ll find Tillie at the office, where she’s a regular fixture, bringing smiles to customers and employees alike. She’s especially fond of the service manager, who seems to hold a special plac

🐾 Meet Nellie Belle -A Little Dog with a Whole Lot of Healing Love!

From the moment Nellie Belle joined the Hawkins family, she’s been a true source of comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. Named in honor of Kennison’s mother—affectionately called “Nellie Belle” by her sister—this sweet Cavachon has brought healing after loss and joy into everyday moments.

Nellie is a snuggly little cuddle bug who lives for bedtime (and never forgets when it is!). Her excitement when welcoming her family home is unmatched, and her playful growls and alert ears show just how much she listens and loves.

The Many Faces of Maxi

The Many Faces of Maxie!


Meet Maxie! From the moment she arrived in her new home, this little Cavachons by Design pup was on a mission to spread joy. I mean, within five minutes of stepping through the door, she was already giving kisses and making herself right at home. Talk about a natural-born lovebug! 💕


Maxie took to training like a natural, picking up ‘sit’ in no time flat and was eager to please from day one. And let me tell you, this girl is fearless! She hopped into her booster seat for car rides without hesitation, and before long, she was cruising around in her dad’s bicycle basket like a little superstar. 🚲✨ And would you believe it? Maxie LOVES the water! She swims in the pool, goes on boat rides, and even has her own tiny life jacket—becaus
