Cavachon Puppies: Things To Know Before Buying One

By Walter Patterson


Looking for a new puppy is always an exciting moment for the family. There are lots of things to learn about different breeds before getting one that will be a right fit for your home environment. If you are interested in Cavachon puppies, here is some crucial information to look at beforehand.

One key thing to bear in mind is that unlike other breeds, cavachons are classified as crossbreeds. The breed is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. In general, it is rated as a designer dog. It is reputed for its sweet temper, a positive trait for a home environment blessed with kids.

So far, it has been difficult to state an authoritative breed standard for since it is a crossbreed. However, researchers have put together some basic facts about its overall characteristics. It is through analyzing this information that you will be able to decide wisely.

For starters, cavachons are small sized dogs. This is one trait that basically makes them an excellent choice for individuals who reside in apartments and small homes. If you like to vacation regularly in an RV, this pet may also be the right choice for you. Adults are generally 12 or 13 inches tall.

A Cavachon has a soft and silky coat. This coat may come in three distinct colors. It could be plain white, black with white patches or white with streaks of apricot. Buyers often go for white cavachons.

Cavachons are not recommended for use as guard dogs. This is because they are not aggressive. They are known to be gentle, tolerant and harbor a need for affection. For this reason, you might want to buy one if you have children and if there are other pets in your household.

Like most breeds, its energy level is high. However, it is not as hyperactive as you would see in a German Shepherd and similar breeds. Its pent up energy is best released with a little daily exercise. Walking it or playing catch would be a good idea.

Kids often love this breed as it is cute and establishes strong bonds. A kid who gets one for a pet is certain to get attached to it during the course of growing up. Research has indicated that cavachons have an innate crave for attention and companionship. If your child does not have a sibling or close friend nearby, you should get this pet dog.

Puppies generally weigh between four and five pounds. As they grow, they must be handled with care. This means providing them with regular meals and safe places to sleep. The best time to train your pet is when it is still young. Keep some consistency during its initial training period so as to orient it with your words and actions.

Health is one factor you should scrutinize. Check its nose, gums, eyes, inner ears, coat, tail, anal region and behavior. Thereafter, keep it clean by following a strict grooming schedule.
