Prior to reading this you may have come across a few adverts and some for sale signs and you have decided to get yourself a new pet, and in this case a new dog. Some of the signs you have seen show dogs being sold by a local cavachon breeder in your area. If you are interested or intent on this breed, then do read on for some tips before you plunk down your money.

The breed you have an eye on is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, the former being a non sporting dog while the latter is a sporting breed. As such they are very much at opposite ends of the temperament scale, and it will be a crap shoot on what kind of temperament the dog will have later on in life. It can either be playful and friendly or hard headed and aloof. Its true colors can only be seen in adulthood.

Average prices for this breed will be in the range of two hundred to five hundred dollars. If coming from a top breeder or champion kennel, it can reach up to over six hundred dollars, even more so if coming from champion parents. Should you not want to spend too much money, you can always try the local shelter to try your luck.

Housebreaking this breed may prove to be a challenge to many owners, especially first timers. They are one of the harder breeds to housebreak and will take longer when compared to other dogs. Before you do go crazy, it may be best to research the crate method on the internet as a possible strategy, one which many owners say works well for this breed.

The breed has very soft and silky, wavy coats that are a pleasure to touch and caress. You can basically choose three general colors for this dog which is white with black and tan markings, white, or apricot. The dog you will get will also tend to shed less the closer it is to the first generation of its breeding line. Remember to always give this dog a bathe at least every six weeks at the minimum and to try to give it regular, and if possible daily, brushings.

Some of the health concerns you should know about with the cavachon are quite a few but manageable. It is a breed that is prone to flea allergies and also heart murmurs. Ears are prone to more infections than other breeds due to it being hairier in the inside. Thus have its ears cleaned at least once a week either by yourself, or if you have a bit more of a budget, by your vet.

A positive attribute of this dog is its size. Classified as a small dog, it can adjust well to living in smaller spaces like apartments and condominiums. It is also proven as a good companion in mobile homes and recreational vehicle living situations.

In sum this article has shown you some ideas about this breed and some basic information you can use to make a final decision if needed. However, it will not hurt to research some more so you will know if this is the breed for you or not.
