Choosing A Purebred Cavachon Dog Breeder

By Nelda Powers


A purebred Cavachon dog breeder may have just the puppy you are looking for. Be aware though that a Cavachon is technically not a purebred - it is considered to be a hybrid dog. It is a mix between a King Cavalier spaniel and a Bichon Frise, a combination that makes for the best of two worlds. Your goal is to make sure the animal you choose consists only of these two breeds.

These pets make wonderful family dogs. They love children, are very friendly and require little exercise. They are perfect if allergies are common in your household because they shed very little and are almost allergen free. Health problems are minimal among this particular breed.

They also come in both dual colors and tri-colors. These shades include black and white, peach and white, sable and white, as well as a combination of three of these colors. They usually weigh under 20 pounds.

Research exactly the type of animal that you wish to acquire. You may wish to purchase a puppy for breeding purposes later or an animal that will be a companion to the family members. Determine whether you wish to purchase a male or female. If you are not going to breed your new companion, decide if you are going to get him or her spayed or neutered.

Seek out a breeder who has a strong reputation among other dog lovers. Research online and paper reviews to help you make your choice. Talk to other purchasers to determine how happy they were with the transactions, price and quality of their puppies.

Upon arrival at the breeders, ask to see the kennels. Are they clean and well kept? Do the animals have sufficient space to live and play? Is food and water readily available? Do they appear to be in good spirits and get along with the other occupants? If owners stall on any of these requests, it should raise a red flag and you should consider looking elsewhere.

Observe a litter of puppies and choose the one you are most drawn to. Some individuals will gravitate toward the one with the most personality and energy while others will be enchanted by the smaller, shyer siblings. Most individuals will know exactly which dog they want after just a few minutes of watching them at play.

After you've chosen your special little bundle, examine him or her thoroughly. Check for fleas, ticks, wounds or bites, as well as the shine of their fur and the health of their teeth and gums. Ask for a copy of the history on the dog's parents - if they are on the property, request to see them also.

A professional purebred Cavachon dog breeder will do everything he can to assist you in your selection process. He can help you decide on the very best pet for your household and give tips and advice on how to care for your new family member. These lovable animals will provide you and your household with hours of love and affection and will become part of the family very quickly.
