Cavachon Pups Can Make Wonderful Pets

By Betty Price


Most people have personal preferences when it comes to pets. Some love cats, some love dogs, and then there those who are attracted to more exotic animals like snakes, ferrets, and lizards. The majority of us will choose from the many varieties of dogs and cats available. Depending on your circumstances and lifestyle, you may decide that a large, active dog suites your needs. For others, a smaller, cuddlier pooch is what they look for. These folks should check out Cavachon pups.

You may never have heard of these dogs, but they are becoming increasingly popular. Cavalier King Charles spaniels and Bichon Frises are also immensely admired by dog owners. Cavachons are a hybrid of those two breeds. Apparently the breed came about when a purebred pair, one King Charles and one Frise, was left unattended momentarily. The result was a this tiny bundle of fur with huge brown eyes and lots of personality.

Another attractive feature of these animals for many is their small size. These dogs do not need large amounts of space to be happy. They can live easily and comfortably in small homes, condos, and apartments. You can expect your dog to weigh around fifteen or seventeen pounds when it is fully grown.

Cavachons are playful, but will also be content lying quietly next to you while you read, watch television, or work on your computer. Unlike many of their canine relatives however, they can be quite happy just hanging out by themselves while their owners are out working or running errands.

These pups are smart and love to please. This makes training them a pretty easy task. All puppies must be reminded occasionally that gnawing on shoes and jumping on strangers is unacceptable behavior. With a little encouragement, your Cavachon can learn easy tricks like rolling over and fetching small toys to bring back to you. The more attention you give them, the easier it will be to teach them these things.

These animals do require regular grooming. Their fur is thick, long, and may be curly. You can do the brushing and combing yourself or take your pup to a professional groomer. Surprisingly, Cavachons shed very little. This makes them a favorite with people who love dogs and want to own one but are allergic to animal fur and dander.

Although these dogs are full of energy and love to be active, they are not big eaters. This nothing to be alarmed about. It seems to be a characteristic of the breed. As long as you dog is healthy and not losing weight, regular vet visits should be all that is needed to make certain the animal is fine.

If you are in the market for a new pet and are considering a small dog, do yourself a favor and check out Cavachon puppies. Owners will tell you that these dogs have great big hearts in tiny little bodies. They are delightful animals that can fill a void in the lives of big families and lonely singles.
