Discover Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN

By Eliza Mendoza


Mix a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, and you get Cavachon puppies for sale in MN. This adorable little dog is a great pet for families, seniors, apartment dwellers, even RV travelers. One word of warning, if not on your lap, expect your little Cavachon to be underfoot. If you work long hours and can't take your dog with you, this isn't the dog for you (unless you can provide a dog walker or doggy day care).

With a hybrid, temperament can be any combination of traits belonging to the cross breeds. Since both the Cavalier and the Bichon are friendly, sociable, gentle, intelligent little dogs, you really can't go wrong. Cavachons are playful, eager to please, good with kids and other pets. Some have a skittish nature and prefer to come to you. This isn't the pet for you if you work long hours leaving your pet alone in an empty house.

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.

This active but easy to exercise dog can be a great pet for senior citizens. Playtime in the house can keep this little dog happy. They do love walks, trips with the family, car rides, dog parks. Most love snow and prefer walks when it's chilly. They bark to warn you, but usually aren't nervous dogs that bark a lot. They do well in apartments, with families, children, and other pets. Like many small dogs, they can be a challenge to housebreak.

Happy healthy, well socialized puppies are raised in a home, not a kennel. Healthy parents are also a requirement. Ask the breeder if the parents are AKC registered dogs. Ask about a health guarantee and return policy for the puppies. Puppies should be checked by a vet, de-wormed, and vaccinated before departing for their new and hopefully forever home.

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.

You'll need a professional groomer to keep your dogs thick and wavy hair looking beautiful. A puppy cut every six to eight weeks is a favorite choice. In between cuts, regular brushing keeps the coat shiny and free of tangles.

There is quite a bit of controversy in the dog world regarding hybrids, also called designer dogs. The breeds we know today were once hybrids bred by humans over the centuries to become the specialized breeds they are today. Cavachons can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club if they are a first generation cross, i. E. Neither parent was a Cavachon.

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.
