What To Know Before Visiting You Local Breeders For Cavachon Puppies

By Patricia Fisher


There is a great likelihood that you are in the market right now for a pet, and most likely a dog at that. That is the reason you may be thinking of visiting breeders for cavachon puppies in your area as suggested by your friends. Before you do invest in getting this canine, do read on in this article for more information.

Dog breeders were the ones responsible for this cross breed by mating the Bichon Frise with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel over several generations and years. As it is a cross between two very different breeds, you will get very much differing temperaments. You can either get a dog that loves to sit on your lap or one that cannot be bothered to give you the time of day and be very aloof.

Prices for this breed can vary greatly depending of course on the breeding line of the parents and the relative fame and distinction of the kennels of origin. Thus these puppies can fetch as much as eight hundred dollars. On average the market price can be anywhere from two hundred dollars to five hundred. Local animal shelters on the other hand can give you a much cheaper price.

The breed has been growing popularity much in part due to its fur. The fur of this canine is generally accepted as having hypoallergenic properties and thus very much sought after by dog lovers who have the unfortunate condition of having canine allergies. It is however suggested that you have a live in trial period of around one month with your new puppy and see if you develop any ideas or not.

This dog is also a tad more difficult to house break than other breeds. Everyone knows that housebreaking for dogs is very important, especially if one is to have them living inside a majority of the time. Quite a few owners do agree that the best way to housebreak this particular dog will be the crate method. It will also be worth your while to do further research on this strategy.

At the age of eight months and onwards, the cavachon will need to have a bit of regular grooming as its fur is prone to matting and tangling as it gets older. While they are younger however, they should get used to regular brushing regimens to ensure good behavior at the groomers later on when they get older.

As with any breed, nutrition and diet will also hold prime importance. This breed is not a heavy eater and is a sporadic eater at best. It will require at least two full meals a day for it to be healthy, plus plenty of water. Of the small breeds, if taken well cared of, it can reach a maximum of 17 years lifespan.

This article hopefully has given the reader some facts about the cavachon that he or she may need to know before making a final obligation and commitment. Although there are many more items to consider, these basic facts should assist in helping a prospective owner with a final decision.
