A Cavachon is a hybrid, a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. There are no certified breed profiles or breeders. You must screen breeders on your own. Cavachon puppies for sale in MN are friendly little dogs, a great pet for families and seniors. They do well in apartments. They love traveling in the family RV. They don't like a lot of alone time.
The "problem" with hybrid dogs is they can get any combination of temperament traits from the parents, with no way to predict which combination. This really isn't an issue with Cavachons since both the parent breeds are gentle and friendly. A few have a skittish nature, preferring to come to you. This little dog is playful and easy to train. They're great with kids and other family pets. They don't enjoy alone time.
Adult dogs weigh 12-18 pounds. Fur is fluffy and thick, straight to curly. Shedding is minimal. Colors can be any combination of the parent colors. Most are shades of white, brown, tan or sable, bi-color or tri-color. Their large dark eyes melt your heart. The long floppy ears make you laugh. Lifespan is 8-12 years.
This active but easy to exercise dog can be a great pet for senior citizens. Playtime in the house can keep this little dog happy. They do love walks, trips with the family, car rides, dog parks. Most love snow and prefer walks when it's chilly. They bark to warn you, but usually aren't nervous dogs that bark a lot. They do well in apartments, with families, children, and other pets. Like many small dogs, they can be a challenge to housebreak.
When researching breeders ask if the parent dogs are AKC registered. Ask about a health guarantee. Puppies should be vet checked, inoculated, and de-wormed before they move to their new home. Well socialized puppies will start life in a home, not a kennel. If possible, visit the breeder and ask to see the parent dogs as well as the puppies.
Hybrids can suffer from any of the health problems common in the parents. These include ear infections, skin problems, flea sensitivity, heart murmur, and hip dysplasia, patella luxation, and cataracts. Ask for a health history on the parent dogs.
Cavachons require regular grooming. Their thick, medium length hair will need a haircut every 6-8 weeks. As the date for the next haircut approaches, your designer dog will need regular brushing to keep matting to a minimum.
The dog world doesn't always agree regarding the value of hybrids. Some claim hybrid vigor. Some say hybrids are expensive mutts. All the registered breeds today started their lineage as "mutts", bred by humans who wanted a specific array of physical and/or character traits. Puppies with a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Bichon as parents can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club. There's no registry available for puppies with a Cavachon parent.
Reputable breeders want to place Cavachon puppies for sale in MN in loving, stable, lifetime homes.
