Designer Cavachon Puppies For Sale In MN Are In Demand

By Frances Patterson


Designer dogs, a fashionable term for animals that are the result of mixing two separate purebred canines together to create a third separate breed, are very trendy right now. You often see celebrities carrying the little creatures in oversize purses or in jacket pockets. Cavachons are not the smallest of the designer animals. The're a cross mix between the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. These dogs are very popular though, and when Minneapolis, MN breeders have Cavachon puppies for sale in MN, they are adopted quickly.

With designer animals it is a good idea to get as much information as possible about their genetic history and background. If you are purchasing a first generation dog, that is a puppy whose parents are one each of the different breeds, or a second generation dog, meaning both parents are Cavachons, there may be significant differences in height, weight, color, and temperament.

Cavachons look cute and cuddly, and they really are. The majority have pleasant personalities and enjoy the company of humans. They are very intelligent animals that learn quickly and don't mind obedience training sessions as long as they are rewarded with plenty of treats and verbal encouragement. Like most pets, they are easier to train when they are young.

Most of these dogs are built close to the ground, but the height can vary a lot especially if you have picked a first generation animal. The body build of the parents will determine how big they get. White and peach coloring is the norm, but this can vary as well. You will find plenty of Cavachons with black and tan coats.

Cavachons usually make great family dogs. They love children and have a lot of patience with them. They also get along with existing family pets and don't even show hostility over food dishes. Because of their compact size, they live quite well in small apartments or condos, and don't need excessive space to exercise. Most Cavachons don't like cold weather, so outdoor time during the Minneapolis, MN winters should be kept to a minimum.

Cavachons do require maintenance. Their coats need weekly attention, and they should have regular baths to keep them clean and fresh smelling. If you find grooming too much to handle, you will have to be prepared to spend extra money on a good groomer that the dog likes and trusts.

Most designer dogs have stronger constitutions than their parents, and this is true with these animals. They can inherit medical problems however. That is one of the reasons it is so important to know the genetic history of a puppy before you select it. These animals are prone to hip dysplasia as are many other breeds. They can also develop heart conditions and autoimmune problems that can be serious.

Before you introduce any pet into your family you need to feel comfortable that you are committed to caring for the animal for years to come. Dogs often become beloved family members who deserve the best life possible.
