Featured Breed and Pet
Cavachon
Do you want a low maintenance, cuddly ball of fur with four legs and a sweet disposition? Or…Are you into apartment living or small house living and want a small-sized pet? Then we’ve got the dog breed for you. A Cavachon is an adorable mix between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise with a gentle nature and a lot of love to capture your heart for many years. And, no need to worry that these sweet fur babies will outgrow their living space since they stay small and cute even as they grow up. They are one of the best house dogs and are so easy to care for.
Cavachons want to be cuddled and loved all the time. Because of their sweet personality, they make great therapy dogs, emotional support animals, and are a perfect first-time puppy for children/family. They were bred to be a companion dog for all. It is one of the few breeds that fits in with just about any type of owner.
Separation anxiety is the biggest concern when it comes to this breed’s personality. A fur baby that feels lonely or neglected can turn from sweet and docile to a dog that barks loudly or chews on the furniture. So be sure you or a family member are around to show lots of love and attention.
This lovable, mixed breed dog is a combination of Bishon Frise and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Cavachons came from the state of Virginia in 1996. It is thought to have been bred specifically for allergy sufferers as a hypoallergenic companion dog. It experienced a popularity boom throughout the early 2000s and is now ranked in many countries as one of the most popular mixed breeds. There is no official breed standard for the Cavachon which means their appearance can vary. It is usually bi-colored, with patches of orange or tan against a white body. Solid colored individuals are usually pure white or cream dogs, but you will rarely see this pooch in just one color.
Cavachons have a soft, silky single coat that can sometimes be hypoallergenic. The fur is low shed, especially if the pup has inherited a Bichon coat. Their coat must be brushed three times a week to keep it from becoming tangled. Its fur can get matted and tangled easily if not brushed. A particularly long or heavy coat will need to be trimmed and styled every few months. The "teddy bear" cut looks particularly cute on this pooch. Its thick, wavy fur looks and feels just like the hair on a stuffed teddy bear. Its black or brown nose and soulful dark eyes also contribute to their teddy bear appearance.
Due to their small, tiny build, they are sensitive to cold weather. Also being a small dog, it is more susceptible to gum disease. The owner needs to keep the dog’s teeth clean and make teeth cleaning a part of the grooming routine by using a toothbrush as early as possible. Brushing the teeth at least twice a week is recommended.
The average price for a Cavachon puppy is $700. Puppies from known breeders, or pedigree parents, may be sold for $1,000 to $1,500. The price of your puppy will always depend on the breeder and its lineage. Expect to pay a little bit more than $700 for healthy puppy from healthy parents. Beware of backyard breeders. Do not purchase a Cavachon puppy from a pet store. It is likely these puppies may have come from a puppy mill. They are also more likely to have faulty genetics, health issues and behavior problems. If you can, make sure that both parent breeds have been screened for health problems that can be inherited. Adult Cavachons tend to be much cheaper. You will be able to buy an adult Cavachon for $300 to $500.
This breed is one of the sweetest, most lovable dogs in the world. So go for it! You will have many years of love and companionship with a Cavachon.
