Things To Know When Looking For Cavachons For Sale

By Janet Morgan


Getting a new pet can be a very exciting time, but it is not something that should be taken lightly. It is important to make sure that the animal is a good match for one's lifestyle and personality. There are things that should be taken into account when considering purchasing Cavachons for sale.

One mistake that a lot of people make in their excitement over getting a new puppy is picking on based solely on its looks. Although appearance is a big reason most individuals are drawn to a particular breed, its grooming needs, temperament, health concerns, and size are all factors that can affect one's ability to care for the animal properly. For a smoother integration, it helps to know a bit more about their typical qualities.

Designer dogs are the result of breeding two separate types of purebreds to create pups that possess certain characteristics of each parent. They can be a bit more difficult to obtain because the best mixes are typically found in litters of the first generation. One should also be aware that these dogs are not usually permitted to compete in official kennel club shows because they are not pure.

Potential owners of designer dogs should also understand that the standards for these breeds are not as set as with purebreds. In most cases, the puppies will get the most prominent traits of each parent, though these results are not consistently true. This is why breeders tend to recommend first generation pups because this is how the most desired offspring are produced.

One pure Bichon Frise and a purebred Cavalier King Charles spaniel are what is needed to create a Cavachon. Mixing two Toy breeds means that the pups they produce will only grow to a maximum height of about 15" and weight around just twenty pounds in adulthood. Being this tiny makes them cute and appealing, particularly to apartment dwellers or those with little space.

A Cavachon's coat is normally silky, soft, and slightly wavy, though it is not uncommon for it to turn out curly and thick. Regardless of texture, the fur is categorized as hypoallergenic because after they shed their puppy fur, the dogs rarely shed and have almost no dander. For individuals who do not like dog hair around the house or who suffer allergies, this trait can be quite appealing.

These pups are well known for their loving nature and high levels of energy. They make wonderful companions because they eagerly give and receive affection, though early socialization is a must to achieve controlled behaviors. While they will bark when strangers are present, they should not be used at watchdogs because they make new friends very easily.

Interested owners should fully understand that adopting one of these dogs is a a true commitment as their average lifespan is around fifteen to twenty years. Aside from common small breed issues like heart murmurs, they tend to have great health. With love and proper care, it is possible for them to live out long, happy, active lives.
