Some Useful Information On Cavachon Puppies

By William Graham


Many first time owners sometimes are confused about what dog to get first. Many will just rely on what are traditional accepted breeds like shepherds, bulldogs, Chihuahuas and so on. In general these popular breeds are basically almost pure breeds. A breed that is fast growing popular is actually a cross breed or hybrid called the cavachon. Thus if you are interested in this breed then do read on for more information about cavachon puppies and dogs in general.

When looking at its history in general, the breed was first created around the mid-1990s. This was when the sporting King Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was bred with the non-sporting and lap loving Bichon Frise. The result was a cute dog that everyone slowly fell in love with up to this day.

Once these dogs mature they will reach a height of one foot or just a little over one foot. And depending on how much they are fed, they will reach a weigh of around fifteen to thirty five pounds at most. In terms of diet they should be given specific small bred formulas designed for dogs with active and energetic lives.

As regards temperament, it can be pretty much a toss up on what kind of personality your puppy will have when it grows up. It will take equal portions of personalities from its parents, so it can be either playful and friendly like the spaniel, or aloof and discriminating like the bichon frise.

Ten to fifteen years is the average lifespan for this breed, which is pretty long considering its size. This can of course be extended a bit if given the right maintenance and also love and care. It will not hurt if it has regular visits with the vet also as it goes on in years.

Exercise is also important for this breed, due to its sporting bloodline. They should be taken at least for a thirty minute walk every day to stretch their legs, especially if they spend their time mostly indoors. Active playtime is also highly encouraged not only for exercise but for bonding as well. It will have a nit of energy in it, and you as an owner should also have a bit of energy as well.

The hair or fur of this breed is somewhat hypoallergenic. For although the fur of the bichon frise is hypoallergenic, the spaniel's is unfortunately not. So definitely do not believe all of the claims that this breed is hypoallergenic, for it will have a chance that it is not. In any case, it may be best to test for allergies if you are prone to any canine allergies at the moment just to be sure.

In sum these are the basic facts that you need to know about this breed. As such there are other factors you may need to know such as prices and strategies for training among others that you should research on as well. In any case always leave no stone unturned in making yourself familiar with any pet that you choose before making a commitment.
