Before You Go Visit Breeders For Cavachon Puppies

By Patricia Fisher


You may be in the market for a new pet, and you may have decided on a new dog. Most of your friends have probably recommended that you get one like a cavachon, so you are of the mind to visit any of the local breeders for cavachon puppies pretty soon. Before you make a final decision however, do read on in this article to get more information.

This is basically a mixed breed that has been bred over many years. The parental breeds of this dog are the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise. Being a cross bred dog, temperaments can vary between the two. Thus you can get a lap loving personality of the former or the aloof independence of the latter. In general you can expect a mix of the two in equal amounts.

Depending on the quality of the breeding parents, and the prestige of the kennels it may come from, the puppy price will vary greatly. On the high end the prices can reach around to six hundred to eight hundred dollars per puppy. On average however, you can get a decent one in the rang of two hundred to five hundred dollars. You may even enjoy much lower prices if you go to the local animal shelter if available.

This breed is also growing in popularity due to the quality of their fur. It is known that their fur is generally hypoallergenic so many dog lovers who have allergies will be drawn to them because of this. One should however give a trial period of at least a month with this breed before making a final commitment to see if any concomitant allergies develop.

When it comes to housebreaking, this is a challenging one to housebreak when compared to other dogs. All dog owners will agree that if you are going to keep a dog indoors a majority of the time, housebreaking them is of prime importance. When it comes to the cavachon, the crate method seems to be the best strategy to follow. Thus do make more research on this strategy in order to help you out.

Once this dog will reach eight months in age, it will need to get a regular grooming schedule. The reason for this is that the cavachon's fur will be prone to tangling and matting as age progresses. While they are young and still puppies, it is good to let them be used to regular brushing so they will be more behaved when regular grooming schedules are made.

This dog is not an altogether a heavy eater or neither is it a finicky one. It does however have sporadic habits, and despite this it will still need to have at least two full meals a day. If diet and nutrition are well taken care of this is a very long lived breed for a small dog, reaching up to seventeen years in age.

Thus this article has shown some good basic information that you will need so that you can arrive at an informed decision regarding this breed. This list is by no means exhaustive but the items covered will no doubt suffice in getting you on the road to making a complete decision.
