Find Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN

By Eliza Mendoza


A Cavachon is a hybrid, a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. There are no certified breed profiles or breeders. You must screen breeders on your own. Cavachon puppies for sale in MN are friendly little dogs, a great pet for families and seniors. They do well in apartments. They love traveling in the family RV. They don't like a lot of alone time.

With a hybrid, temperament can be any combination of traits belonging to the cross breeds. Since both the Cavalier and the Bichon are friendly, sociable, gentle, intelligent little dogs, you really can't go wrong. Cavachons are playful, eager to please, good with kids and other pets. Some have a skittish nature and prefer to come to you. This isn't the pet for you if you work long hours leaving your pet alone in an empty house.

Cavachons weigh up to 18 pounds. They live up to 12 years. They can be any combination of colors from both mom and dad. Most are bi-color or tri-color. Most common are combinations with brown, sable, tan, and/or white. Most have stunning large, round, dark eyes. Most have large and floppy ears.

This is an active little dog, but still easy to exercise due to their small size. They can enjoy life in an apartment, a busy afternoon with games and toys indoors. But they really do enjoy outings; a walk, a trip to the doggy park, a ride in the car. They're quite hardy for such little guys. Most enjoy a chilly romp in the snow (be sure to dry thoroughly when back indoors). They bark when alarmed, but they're not excessively yappy. They like kids, other dogs, and the family cat too.

Choose a breeder who is raising well socialized puppies in the family home. If possible, visit the home and ask to meet the parent dogs. Many breeders cross breed AKC registered parents with a well documented family tree and health history. Most breeders will have the puppies vaccinated and de-wormed before they're released to their new home. Ask about a health guarantee and return policy.

Hybrids can suffer from any of the health problems common in the parents. These include ear infections, skin problems, flea sensitivity, heart murmur, and hip dysplasia, patella luxation, and cataracts. Ask for a health history on the parent dogs.

Cavachons require regular grooming. Their thick, medium length hair will need a haircut every 6-8 weeks. As the date for the next haircut approaches, your designer dog will need regular brushing to keep matting to a minimum.

There is quite a bit of controversy in the dog world regarding hybrids, also called designer dogs. The breeds we know today were once hybrids bred by humans over the centuries to become the specialized breeds they are today. Cavachons can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club if they are a first generation cross, i. E. Neither parent was a Cavachon.

Breeders try to place puppies in forever homes. That's why they ask about family members, kids, other pets, work, living quarters, and lifestyle. If you want a sweet, friendly, sociable little dog that will follow you everywhere, you might want to take a look at Cavachon puppies for sale in MN. Your puppy will need your devotion and attention for the next 12 years. This is not an independent breed that enjoys alone time.
