Visit A Quality Cavachon Dog Breeder

By April Briggs


Prior to purchasing a new pet, it is highly recommended that all potential owners research desired breeds to be sure the animal will fit into one's current lifestyle. Aside from the way they look, their behavior, health needs and various other aspects should also be considered. If looking for a cute, designer pup, visit a reputable Cavachon dog breeder in Minneapolis, MN for more information and selection.

Although this breed is not recognized by the AKC since the pups are not purebred, they are highly desired by many. They are a combination of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise. At no more than twenty pounds and sixteen inches high at most, they fall comfortably into the small to mid range category.

The breed has several different coat coloration variations possible. Generally, they come in standard white fur with stark sable, red or black splotches in random places on their bodies. It is also possible that they could be born wearing a solid hue all over or may have blotches of three to four colors all mixed together in an effect similar to tortoise shell.

Of all their attractive characteristics, the coat is near the top of the list not because of its coloring, but due to its special feature. Some pups will have long silken waves, while others will be covered in loose curls. Both styles share the desirable features of producing virtually no dander and having minimal shedding.

A lot of people are understandably drawn to these dogs because of their general appearance. Their smallish size and lovely coats are complemented by a sturdy build that lends a bit of sportiness to these active canines. Add to the mix the signature large eyes that are overflowing with expression, and the result is an irresistible bundle of furry love.

As a general rule, these canines are very family oriented but require lots of attention and may not do so well if ignored or left on their own for long times. Their anxiety might get the best of them, resulting in bad or destructive behavior. This can usually be avoided if there is another pet in the home or if the radio or television are left on talking stations so the animals can hear voices.

Possessing wonderful social skills and being quite intelligent, Cavachons will likely bark to alert their people of strangers or unexpected sounds, but actively being physically aggressive is very rare. High energy and playfulness, as well as happy dispositions and responsive interaction is very typical. Being around children is usually no problem at all, especially young ones who are old enough to be respectful and kind.

This breed has no particular major risks to their health, especially if they receive regular checkups, dental and ear care and flea control. Grooming needs vary as the longer fur requires frequent brushing and the shorter curls will need to be professionally trimmed periodically. Both house and obedience training is likely to call for a lot of patience, extreme consistency, firmness and fairness because of the pup's strong will.
