Things To Know Before Purchasing A Cavachon Puppy For Sale

By Michelle Ward


A dog can be a great addition to any home. They make wonderful companions for adults, and loyal, loving playmates for children, as well as providing them an opportunity to learn about responsibility. But before purchasing a Cavachon puppy for sale, there are some things all interested individuals should know.

It is incredibly important for any individual to learn as much about their desired type of dog before committing to ownership of one. With literally thousands of breeds available and each of them being unique in characteristics, health concerns, quirks, and behavioral habits, this is essential. This is very true regarding Cavachons.

The first thing anyone with their heart set on owning Cavachons should know is that these are not purebred dogs. They are what is considered as a "designer" breed, meaning that two other breeds - in this case, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise - are intentionally mated to produce offspring with specific characteristics. Because getting a successful blend is somewhat difficult, the puppies can be expensive and there may be a waiting list.

Another big thing to understand about designer dogs is that even though there are some general guidelines about what to expect where behaviors and appearance are concerned, there is not a set authority on the matter. The majority of Cavachons are from first generation litters, and the results can be varied even among siblings . Mating to 1st gen Cavvies could produce offspring with acceptable traits, though they may start to be less prominent.

As the offspring of two parents in the category of Toy, these dogs are small, usually weighing no more than 18lbs and reaching of height of under 13" when fully grown. Although their coats are typically varied shades of brown and white, they can be other colors as well, but are usually silky, thick, and soft with either a slightly wavy texture or a big curls. A huge plus for people who suffer allergies is that this breed sheds very little and produces virtually no dander.

While these dogs are perfectly sized for living in small apartments, they are equally suited for spacious homes with large yards, though they are not built to be outside pets. Anyone considering this breed needs to be sure they have the time to exercise their pup each day because they are quite energetic. Daily walks or playful games keep them both mentally and physically stimulated.

This breed is known for forming intense bonds with people and having huge cravings for companionship, so interested individuals need to understand that their pup will want plenty of attention. Cavachons are quick learners and highly intelligent, which means that socialization and obedience training should start very young. Doing so will have a significant impact on behavioral control.

Doing preemptive research about the breed and speaking with qualified breeders could be a huge asset. It is quite beneficial to understand standard expectations for the grooming, health, and behavioral norms of these puppies. Pet ownership is a step that should be handled with great responsibility to make it most pleasurable.
