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 created this breed when they mated the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the Bichon Frise over a course of many years or even generations. Thus as it is a cross bred canine it will have a mix of temperaments, or sometimes a dominant personality trait. It can have the dominant aloof personality of the Bichon Frise or the lap loving traits of the King Charles.

Should the parental line be quite famous, and the original kennel be quite famous and known, the puppies can fetch quite a high price at up to eight hundred dollars. On average however, you can buy a cavachon puppy anywhere from between two hundred to five hundred dollars. Should you want to save a pretty penny, you can try your hand at trying any of several local animal shelters in your area.

The fur of this breed is one that is making it more popular as the years go on. This is because it is generally known and accepted that it has hypoallergenic properties, and thus a boon to dog lovers who have dog allergies. One should however always have a trial live in period, of around one month, with any animal to see if any accompanying allergies come out before making a final commitment.

In terms of housebreaking it, the prospective or new owner of this dog will find it quite a challenge if comparing to other breeds. Many dog owners know that indoor dogs must be housebroken, if they are to stay a majority of the time inside residences. Many say that the crate method of housebreaking is best for the cavachon. In any case do make more research on this method so you can be properly prepared.

When this breed reaches around eight months, it will need to have regular grooming, This is because their fur is prone to matting and tangling. It is important that they are regularly brushed and accustomed to it at an early age so that they do not pose problems later on in terms of behavior when being groomed.

For the most part in terms of diet and nutrition, this dog is not a heavy eater. However, it will need to have at least two square meals a day and plenty of water. Given proper care and nutrition, this breed can live up to 17 years old, quite a long time for a small breed canine.

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.
