Cavachon Puppies Make Great Pets

By Marci Nielsen


Mixed breed dogs can be wonderful pets. Breed one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and one Bichon Frise together and the result if a litter of Cavachon puppies. The puppies are a hybrid and not considered pure bred. Despite the fact that their ancestry consists of two pure bred dogs, the parents were not of the same breed. Subsequent generations of Cavachons will continue to be classified as hybrid.

Cross breeding two pure bred dogs is intended to get the best of both breeds in the hybrid litter. Cavachons are hypoallergenic, which means that families with allergies can still enjoy an indoor pet. These dogs shed very little, which also makes them excellent indoor pets. The sizes range from twelve pounds to twenty five pounds with the males tending to be larger than the females. They come in a variety of colors, with coats that may be solid, two colors or even three colors.

The good nature of these dogs has increased their popularity. They tend to make gentle, loving pets that are tolerant of children. They are intelligent and friendly. The dogs will warn their owners by barking at strangers, but it is nothing more than a warning bark. Cavachons should not be counted on as watchdogs.

Mixed breeds have the advantage of being less vulnerable to health issues than their pure bred counterparts. Although generally quite healthy, one cause for concern with this mixed breed stems from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel side of its ancestry. The spaniels have been known to have mitral valve disease, which is very serious. Responsible breeders will do everything in their power to avoid passing along such a trait. Still, it is a good idea to inquire about the health of the parents upon adoption and in future years to see if any negative health issues occur in the parents.

As for the Bichon Frise health, they are known to be a pretty healthy breed. However, on occasion they suffer from diseases of the immune system. This can greatly shorten the life of the pet. A normal life span is fifteen to twenty years, but Bichon Frise with immune system disease may only live four to six years. New owners should be informed about the health of both of its parents.

Kent Oh breeders are responsible, caring breeders who do their best to produce healthy animals that will live a long life. Some breeders take it a step further by preparing their puppies for the day they are adopted. The puppies are trained to go to their crate for napping and sleeping. Consequently, these pets will often sleep six to seven hours through the night. Good news for both you and your new pet. Sleep deprivation does nothing good for the owner or the pet.

Crate training litters is an effective way of getting them to sleep through the night. If you have ever had a new puppy in the house, you know that the experience can make you very sleep deprived. Housebreaking can also cause some issues. It is great to work with breeders who give your pet a head start on both of these challenges.

Your puppy will soon become a wonderful addition to your family. There are excellent breeders who will make the transition to your home as seamless as possible. New pets can be like new babies. They take a lot of your time, but the joy they bring into your life makes it time well spent.
