Find Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN

By Eliza Mendoza


Mix a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, and you get Cavachon puppies for sale in MN. This adorable little dog is a great pet for families, seniors, apartment dwellers, even RV travelers. One word of warning, if not on your lap, expect your little Cavachon to be underfoot. If you work long hours and can't take your dog with you, this isn't the dog for you (unless you can provide a dog walker or doggy day care).

With a hybrid, temperament can be any combination of traits belonging to the cross breeds. Since both the Cavalier and the Bichon are friendly, sociable, gentle, intelligent little dogs, you really can't go wrong. Cavachons are playful, eager to please, good with kids and other pets. Some have a skittish nature and prefer to come to you. This isn't the pet for you if you work long hours leaving your pet alone in an empty house.

An adult Cavachon weighs between 12 and 18 pounds. Color can be any mix of colors from the parent dogs. Most are combinations of brown, tan, white, or sable. They can be bi-color or tri-color. They have large, soulful dark eyes. Most have long floppy ears. This little dog will be your loving companion for 8-12 years.

Cavachons love playtime, and they love lap time. They also love adventure; travel, walks, dog parks, and car rides. They tolerate heat but most prefer a romp in the snow. Most aren't yappy so they fit well into apartment life. This breed is great choice for at home seniors. They can be exercised in small spaces with toys and games and/or short walks. The only con is that like many a small dog, housebreaking requires patience.

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.

Your designer dog can inherit any of the genetic diseases common to the parent breeds. These include flea dermatitis, skin allergies, ear infections. Heart murmurs, cataracts, hip dysplasia, and patella luxation. Don't rely on hybrid vigor. Ask for the health history of both parent dogs.

Regular grooming is a necessity. Their thick wavy hair requires regular brushing to keep from tangling. A puppy cut every 6-8 weeks will keep this little dog looking adorable.

Many AKC breeders call hybrid dogs expensive mutts. But all of today's breeds began as mutts, selectively bred for desired traits. First generation dogs with a Bichon and a Cavalier Spaniel for parents are recognized and can be registered through the American Canine Hybrid Club.

Reputable breeders want to place Cavachon puppies for sale in MN in loving, stable, lifetime homes. They want to know you can provide the social environment this breed requires for the next 8-12 years. They'll ask about your experience with dogs, and why you are interested in this breed. They'll ask about family members, children, and other pets. This is a sociable little dog that doesn't enjoy alone time.
