What To Know When Seeking Cavachons For Sale

By Arthur Peterson


Different breeds of dogs appeal to certain people for a wide variety of reasons. Quite often, these factors include such things as the way the pups look, their special characteristics, or other inherent qualities. When looking for designer breeds such as Cavachons for sale, it is important for buyers to do a little preemptive research to ensure the best results possible.

Some people think that this type of transaction is as simple as locating a breeder and trusting that everything is going to turn out just fine. However, with designer breeds - dogs created by breeding two different types of purebred dogs - there is a bit more involved than simply making a purchase. They typically come at a higher price because they are harder to produce in good quality and getting a good mix takes extra work.

Because in order to get a real Cavachon that has all the characteristics and traits that people desire requires it to be a puppy of the first generation, it is so difficult to produce them. Success requires that the parents be a full blooded Bichon Frise and a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Although two first gen Cavvies can be mated, their puppies will most likely not have the same quality of the target features as the original.

When purchasing a dog of this type, the buyer is trusting that the breeder has the knowledge of what makes the purebred parents acceptable for breeding, and that they have the integrity to settle for nothing less than perfect. Genetic flaws and illnesses in either of the contributors could be passed to their puppies, rendering the mix substandard. This is why interested individuals need to be informed.

Step one is locating breeders that are known for producing only high-quality litters and for having extensive knowledge about the three breeds involved. Talking to current or previous Cavachon owners regarding their experiences will help one know who to consider and who to avoid. This avenue presents a way to gather multiple options to choose from.

Once one has a list of potential breeders, it would be to their benefit to physically visit each of the facilities. By doing so, one can speak with the breeder to see how concerned they are for the welfare of the animals, their range of knowledge, the conditions in which the dogs live, and how they are fed and attended. When actually visiting the site is not feasible, requesting a randomly timed live video tour would be recommended.

Ask the breeders any and all questions, including their experience with the breed, how often the mother is bred, and what shots and health guarantees will the pup receive. One should not be afraid to make inquiries because this commitment is for the lifetime of the dog. One really positive sign is a breeder who also questions prospective buyers because they care more about the pup's welfare than making money.

Because this purchase is going to be a significant investment, it would definitely be in one's best interest to be selective in their choice of breeder. Learn about the breed so that one knows what to expect. Starting this journey with adequate knowledge can make it so much easier.
