Designer Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN Are In Demand

By Frances Patterson


Designer dogs seem to be all the rage these days. Lots of people love the idea of owning one and are ready to spend large amounts of cash to make that happen. It may be a point of pride that they can afford one, or a way of emphasizing their luxurious lifestyle. Neither one of these things is a good reason to purchase a pet of any kind. Designer, or hybrid, animals are simply the product of two separate purebred dogs mating to create a new breed. Cavachon puppies for sale in MN, for example, are a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise.

When you invest in one of these kinds of dogs, you should first make certain you are dealing with a reputable breeder. The second thing you should do is get as much information as possible about the puppy's heritage and genetic background. First generation pups, those that come from the union of the two separate breeds, may significantly vary in height, color, and weight.

Cavachons look cute and cuddly, and they really are. The majority have pleasant personalities and enjoy the company of humans. They are very intelligent animals that learn quickly and don't mind obedience training sessions as long as they are rewarded with plenty of treats and verbal encouragement. Like most pets, they are easier to train when they are young.

The height of Cavachons can vary widely depending on the body composition of their parents. Some are quite tall, while others are more compact and closer to the ground. Their weight can vary anywhere from eighteen to twenty-five pounds or so. Most of the animals are white or peach colored, but there are black and tan varieties as well. The dogs who enjoy good health can be expected to live for fifteen to twenty years.

Some little dogs can be snappy and nervous around young children, but not the Cavachons. They seem to thrive in families with youngsters and don't even mind living in the company of other household pets. Although they require regular exercise, a brisk walk or two a day is usually sufficient. You will have to shorten your exercise routine if you live in a cold climate however. Freezing temperatures are hard on these little animals.

Although these dogs don't shed very much and are hypoallergenic, they do require frequent and rigorous grooming. Weekly baths and comb outs are necessary to keep them in the best of health and looking neat. If this is something you don't have the time or patience to do yourself, you will have to be ready to hire a groomer to handle the job.

The health issues that trouble Bichons and Cavaliers are not as pronounced in Cavachons, but you should be very careful and get as much information as there is available about a puppy's parents before you decide to purchase an animal. They can easily inherit heart problems and autoimmune system diseases that will significantly shorten their life expectancy.

When you consider introducing a new pet into your Minneapolis, MN family, you should do it for the right reasons. Today's canine fad may not make the best pet for you. Dogs and cats are living creatures that should be treasured, not treated as fancy accessories.
