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.

Depending on the quality of the breeding parents, and the prestige of the kennels it may come from, the puppy price will vary greatly. On the high end the prices can reach around to six hundred to eight hundred dollars per puppy. On average however, you can get a decent one in the rang of two hundred to five hundred dollars. You may even enjoy much lower prices if you go to the local animal shelter if available.

This breed is also growing in popularity due to the quality of their fur. It is known that their fur is generally hypoallergenic so many dog lovers who have allergies will be drawn to them because of this. One should however give a trial period of at least a month with this breed before making a final commitment to see if any concomitant allergies develop.

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.

At the age of eight months and onwards, the cavachon will need to have a bit of regular grooming as its fur is prone to matting and tangling as it gets older. While they are younger however, they should get used to regular brushing regimens to ensure good behavior at the groomers later on when they get older.

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.

Thus we have read about a few important facts about this small dog breed. This list is not that exhaustive, but it does contain the important information you need to make the right decision regarding this breed.
