Find Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN

By Eliza Mendoza


Cavachon puppies for sale in MN are friendly, sociable little dogs. Expect your Cavachon to be underfoot when he's not on your lap. They're good with kids and other household pets. This little dog fits just fine in an apartment or even an RV. Sometimes called a designer dog, a Cavachon is a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

The "problem" with hybrid dogs is they can get any combination of temperament traits from the parents, with no way to predict which combination. This really isn't an issue with Cavachons since both the parent breeds are gentle and friendly. A few have a skittish nature, preferring to come to you. This little dog is playful and easy to train. They're great with kids and other family pets. They don't enjoy alone time.

Adult dogs weigh 12-18 pounds. Fur is fluffy and thick, straight to curly. Shedding is minimal. Colors can be any combination of the parent colors. Most are shades of white, brown, tan or sable, bi-color or tri-color. Their large dark eyes melt your heart. The long floppy ears make you laugh. Lifespan is 8-12 years.

Cavachons love playtime, and they love lap time. They also love adventure; travel, walks, dog parks, and car rides. They tolerate heat but most prefer a romp in the snow. Most aren't yappy so they fit well into apartment life. This breed is great choice for at home seniors. They can be exercised in small spaces with toys and games and/or short walks. The only con is that like many a small dog, housebreaking requires patience.

Choose a breeder who is raising well socialized puppies in the family home. If possible, visit the home and ask to meet the parent dogs. Many breeders cross breed AKC registered parents with a well documented family tree and health history. Most breeders will have the puppies vaccinated and de-wormed before they're released to their new home. Ask about a health guarantee and return policy.

Puppies can inherit any genetic health problems that are in either parent's lineage. These can include skin problems, flea dermatitis, ear infections, heart murmur, patella luxation, hip dysplasia, cataracts. Ask the breeder about the health history of both parent dogs.

Regular grooming is a necessity. Their thick wavy hair requires regular brushing to keep from tangling. A puppy cut every 6-8 weeks will keep this little dog looking adorable.

The dog world doesn't always agree regarding the value of hybrids. Some claim hybrid vigor. Some say hybrids are expensive mutts. All the registered breeds today started their lineage as "mutts", bred by humans who wanted a specific array of physical and/or character traits. Puppies with a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Bichon as parents can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club. There's no registry available for puppies with a Cavachon parent.

Reputable breeders want to place Cavachon puppies for sale in MN in loving, stable, lifetime homes. They want to know you can provide the social environment this breed requires for the next 8-12 years. They'll ask about your experience with dogs, and why you are interested in this breed. They'll ask about family members, children, and other pets. This is a sociable little dog that doesn't enjoy alone time.
