Things To Know Before Getting Cavachons For Adoption

By Brian Wallace


Currently you may be on this article right now because you are actually in the market for a new pet or even a replacement one. Unfortunately you do not have much of a budget right now and you are doubting if you could get one. Some of your colleagues however have suggested to you that it may be a good idea to take on any of cavachons for adoption, and that seems like a capital idea. Before you do go out and get one however, do read on in this article first before anything else.

First thing you need to do to prepare in getting a new pet is if you are ready and willing to be a pet owner. Being a pet owner takes a lot of commitment, especially as you are taking care of something living after all, and not an inanimate object. If you feel any doubt about your capability, then do hold off until you are ready.

Next thing that you should do will be information gathering. To be a responsible and committed dog owner is to get as much information as you can on your chosen breed, being in this case the cavachon. Get all the basic information you need to orient yourself from articles like this one that you are currently reading.

The cavachon is a toy breed that has been developed by cross breeding other toy breeds of dogs. These two breeds are the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise. Despite their growing popularity, not all international dog registers accept them as a true breed on their own, such as the Kennel Club in the United Kingdom. Due to this current status, the cavachon can best be classified as a designer dog.

First time owners will not have a hard time with this breed. The cavachon is known to be extremely kind, affectionate and gentle. It will tend to thrive on human company and will form strong bonds with owners and masters. Due to this, they cannot be left alone for extended periods of time as they will get depressed and develop separation anxiety.

The breed is very adaptable to any sort of living condition whether in a spacious rural setting or a cramped urban one. Hand in hand with its small size, it can well adapt to small apartment and condominium living. Just make sure that if you live with it in small apartments and condos, that you take it out everyday for thirty minute walks at least.

Ten to twelve years can be the expected lifespan for the cavachon. Alongside tender loving care, proper maintenance and nutrition, the lifespan can be extended somewhat. This breed can be prone to obesity however and care should be taken so as to prevent this. It should be particularly noted that obesity can also somewhat lessen overall lifespan.

In sum these are the general considerations you need to mull over before taking on this breed. It may also be useful if you do further research on what to expect in terms of overall health, especially when the dog gets older. Remember to leave no stone unturned in your search for information to give you an informed decision.
