Tips To Selecting The Best Cavachon Puppies

By Cathy Mercer


When introducing any new pet especially a puppy into a family unit, it is important to choose a breed that suits required characteristic of that specific family's home life. For those individuals that want intelligent breeds of dog, Cavachon puppies that are full bred may be the top choice. This breed is a cross between the well liked Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and the quirky Bichon Frise.

Due to them being small in stature; only approximately 30cm and coats that are non-shedding they are ideally suited to indoor lap dogs. Other specific characteristics are big eyes that are expressive and a sporty appearance. They are animated, alert and sturdy as well best suited for couples with older kids; but they do adjust easily to every kind of home; small children will be tolerated if the puppy has grown up around them.

Their temperaments are placid however they will alert people to any new sounds or smells, this makes them perfect indoor "alarms". If left unattended for lengthy periods they will become stressed as this does not suit their personality. A plus is that they get on well with other animals including cats which are often a problem for a family that does not know how to introduce a new dog to their family feline.

Cavachons adjust well to indoor living and are thus suited to apartment living. Besides being indoors, this breed will also enjoy outdoor family activities. Recommendations are that they be walked only while attached securely to a leash and when off-lead within a fenced safe area. But truthfully any activity involving this clever pooch will be memorable occasions.

This breed comes in several different colors with each color having a variety of richness to it. The more commonly found colors are apricot, red, mahogany, black sable all of which can have touches of white or tan; in some rare instances tricolored Cavachons can be found as well. It is these unique markings and colors that make this breed so appealing to many people.

Depending on their type of coat one may need to brush them or even send them to the doggy parlor for grooming; but they are highly suited for those allergic to dog hair. Caring for ones pup will involve checking as well as cleaning their ears to prevent infections. Another area that will require attention is their teeth which may rot and then fall out; making dental hygiene a priority.

As with any breed obedience training or socialization should be done early in the dog's life. Bichon Frise characteristics found in this breed do make them stubborn and firm training coupled with patience is a necessity. Most live for a period of about 12-15 years, therefore they should be considered as a long commitment.

Only purchase these Cavachon puppies from well known breeders. Personally research to see if this breed will suit one's home life and criteria. For detailed reviews and information visit the official websites about this interesting breed.
