Cavachon Puppies Provide Valuable Companionship

By Iva Cannon


A well matched animal can enrich any home with their companionship, unconditional love and other great gifts. Dogs are especially good at this as the personality traits and characteristics of various breeds are often found to be complimentary to those regularly exhibited by many humans. In Kent, OH, breeders offer Cavachon puppies that might be exactly what many individuals are seeking.

When searching for a dog to bring into the home, it is important to select one based on more than just their looks or their cuteness factor. One should take the time to understand the breed as adopting a pup means a commitment that lasts their lifetime. Choosing a canine type that fits the lifestyle of the household and the personalities of the humans within it will make the blending smooth and satisfying.

This breed is a special mix between the regal Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the adorable Bichon Frise. The hybridization of these two could not fail to produce pups that are simply beyond cute but they also come with a blend of personality traits. Their character and tendencies may appeal to some individuals but not quite fulfill the requirements of others.

When it comes to size, they are classified as small to medium, only reaching a max weight of roughly 16" and up to 20lbs. They are mainly white with spots that come in either red, black, sable or an interesting mix of all three together. As beautiful as the breed is, they are not purebred which means the AKC will not recognize them as qualifying for show or papers.

The coats on these pups may either grow in loose curls like the Bichon, or in gentle, silky waves as those of the Spaniel. The shorter styles require no regular maintenance, however, the longer strands need to be brushed daily and should be trimmed by a professional groomer on a routine basis. Regardless of fur type, the dogs are virtually non-shedders and do not produce a noticeable amount of dander which makes them a favored option among individuals with allergies.

Most people describe these animals as very affectionate, incredibly loving and extremely gentle with everyone. They are generally happy and cheerful and have an above average intelligence. Though these dogs are normally not in the least bit aggressive, they are protective and will alert their family to any sounds that are out of the ordinary and are cautiously wary of unknown visitors.

Cavachons are deeply family oriented and love children, especially those who are gentle and considerate. Much like those little playmates, the pups also crave lots of attention and can exhibit unsavory behaviors when left home alone for hours or when they feel ignored. This can usually be avoided by having additional pets in the home or simply letting a radio or television play while the people are away.

Every creature has some sort of health issue and this breed is no different. They may be prone to skin conditions due to sensitivities, heart conditions, hip dysplasia and ear infections if not properly tended. Anyone considering adding one of these pups to their household should make sure they will easily fit into their existing lifestyle.
