Things To Know Before Purchasing A Cavachon Puppy For Sale

By Michelle Ward


A dog adds love to any home. For adults, they are amazing companions, and a pup can be a loving and loyal friend for children, with the added benefit of teaching them how to handle responsibility. There are, however, several things interested individuals should know before they purchase a Cavachon puppy for sale.

It can not be stressed enough just how important it is for a person to know as much about the type of dog they are wanting to own before committing to a purchase. There are so many different breeds available and each one is going to have its own unique quirks, characteristics, behavioral habits, and health concerns. Cavachons are certainly no exception to this rule.

One thing that many people who desire have Cavachons do not realize, is that they are not pure breeds at all. They are a blend of two different purebred dogs - the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise - Which makes them a designer breed which was specifically created to produce puppies with certain specific characteristics. Since genetic melding can be a bit difficult, these animals are usually a bit more expensive than most.

Another thing to keep in mind with designer dogs is that although there are basic guidelines on what one should expect as far as appearance and behaviors, there is no definitive authority on the breed. Most Cavachons are first generation and results may vary between puppies - even those born within the same litter. If two 1st gen Cavachons are mated, they might produce acceptable offspring, though the desired traits may become less prominent.

Since each of the parents are considered as members of the Toy category, this breed is small, typically reaching a maximum of 13" in height, and weighing no more than 18 pounds in adulthood. Their coats tend to be silky, soft, and thick, with either big curls or slight waves, mainly in shades of brown or white, but they may be other colors as well. They have low dander and shedding factors which are beneficial to those with allergy concerns.

Their size makes Cavachons perfectly adapted for apartment dwelling, as well as for large yards and spacious homes, although they do not have the stamina to outside for long. One should make sure they can devote ample time to giving their pet proper exercise each day, as they are highly energetic. To keep them stimulated both physically and mentally, playing games or taking daily strolls will suffice.

This breed is known for forming intense bonds with people and having huge cravings for companionship, so interested individuals need to understand that their pup will want plenty of attention. Cavachons are quick learners and highly intelligent, which means that socialization and obedience training should start very young. Doing so will have a significant impact on behavioral control.

It makes perfect sense for interested parties to converse with breeders and research the breed before committing to a purchase. It is also beneficial to know what should be expected as far as the health, behavioral norms, and grooming needs of these animals. There is a lot of responsibility involved in owning a dog.
