Visit A Quality Cavachon Dog Breeder

By April Briggs


Before buying a puppy of any type, it is always a good idea to do a bit of research to determine if the desired breed is suitable for one's lifestyle. Consideration should be about all aspects of the canine's needs and not just about their looks. Should one decide a cute designer pup is the answer, it is time to visit a quality Cavachon dog breeder in Minneapolis, MN to pick a companion.

Even though the AKC does not recognize this non purebred breed, they are still highly sought out by those who love designer pups. They come from the mixing of the lovely Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the adorable Bichon Frise. Reaching a maximum of twenty pounds and rarely standing higher than sixteen inches, these canines are classified as small to medium.

Their coats come in a variety of color combinations. The most commonly occurring mixtures are the duos of white mixed with either black, red or sable. On occasion, solid hued pups are produced, as well as those with a tortoise shell effect of three or more shades blended together in splotches.

Of all their attractive characteristics, the coat is near the top of the list not because of its coloring, but due to its special feature. Some pups will have long silken waves, while others will be covered in loose curls. Both styles share the desirable features of producing virtually no dander and having minimal shedding.

A lot of people are understandably drawn to these dogs because of their general appearance. Their smallish size and lovely coats are complemented by a sturdy build that lends a bit of sportiness to these active canines. Add to the mix the signature large eyes that are overflowing with expression, and the result is an irresistible bundle of furry love.

Generally speaking, these animals are extremely family oriented but do not do very well if left on their own for long periods of time. They tend to get anxious when lonely and may misbehave out of nervousness. Some ways around this issue is to have another pup or cat in the house, or to leave the television or talk radio on for sound.

Possessing wonderful social skills and being quite intelligent, Cavachons will likely bark to alert their people of strangers or unexpected sounds, but actively being physically aggressive is very rare. High energy and playfulness, as well as happy dispositions and responsive interaction is very typical. Being around children is usually no problem at all, especially young ones who are old enough to be respectful and kind.

There are no major health concerns with this breed, though regular checkups, dental hygiene, ear maintenance and flea control are important. Grooming frequency is going to depend on which type of coat the pup has with the long haired pups needing daily brushing and the short curls getting professional trimmings a few times a year. Because they tend to be strong willed, house and obedience training may require patience and consistency paired with both firmness and fairness.
