Cavachon Pups Are Very Popular

By Betty Price


As pet owners, most of us do not think of ourselves as falling into types, yet almost all of us do. There are those who own animals for sport or show and while they may feel affection for these dogs, they are not usually family members. Some people love big hardy breeds and feel nervous around small dogs. Others would never dream of having any animal too big to jump up and settle comfortably in their laps. If you are in this category, Cavachon pups should interest you.

Cavachons are a cross between two very popular breeds, Cavalier King Charles spaniels and Bichon Frises. As such they share the physical traits and unique characteristics of both. Apparently the first Cavachon was a fortuitous accident when one breed managed to mate with the other. The result was an adorable, big-eyed, furry bundle of energy. Since then these animals have gone front and center in popularity with their fans growing every day.

Another attractive feature of these animals for many is their small size. These dogs do not need large amounts of space to be happy. They can live easily and comfortably in small homes, condos, and apartments. You can expect your dog to weigh around fifteen or seventeen pounds when it is fully grown.

Cavachons are playful, but will also be content lying quietly next to you while you read, watch television, or work on your computer. Unlike many of their canine relatives however, they can be quite happy just hanging out by themselves while their owners are out working or running errands.

These pups are smart and love to please. This makes training them a pretty easy task. All puppies must be reminded occasionally that gnawing on shoes and jumping on strangers is unacceptable behavior. With a little encouragement, your Cavachon can learn easy tricks like rolling over and fetching small toys to bring back to you. The more attention you give them, the easier it will be to teach them these things.

These animals do require regular grooming. Their fur is thick, long, and may be curly. You can do the brushing and combing yourself or take your pup to a professional groomer. Surprisingly, Cavachons shed very little. This makes them a favorite with people who love dogs and want to own one but are allergic to animal fur and dander.

Do not be alarmed if you notice that your puppy is not a very enthusiastic eater. This is an interesting characteristic of the breed. They are usually happy and satisfied with ingesting a couple of small meals a day. Although they have a lot of energy, they do not seem to burn calories in the way that some other breeds do.

Dogs make great companions for individuals with all different kinds of lifestyles. Choosing the right one for you is critical if you are serious about succeeding as a pet owner. Cavachons are adaptable, smart, fun, loving animals that can become devoted friends to their owners for many wonderful years.
