Do Cavachons Shed Very Much

By Olive Pate


When considering a particular type of dog for adoption, there should be certain questions one may want to ask prior to making a final decision. Posing inquiries such as do Cavachons shed, do they have major health concerns, are they active and what are their personality traits, can help one make an informed choice. They are important in determining if the breed is suitable to an individual's lifestyle.

Getting to know a breed before bringing a dog home can stave off a lot of issues and avoid serious regret and disappointment. All too often, people will choose a puppy based on first impressions or how they expect it to look as an adult. The mistake is that appearance can not accurately indicate factors such a health concerns, habits, temperament or other personality traits.

Some of the top things to take into consideration are whether or not the dog will be comfortable in the proposed living conditions or if they have any personality concerns. People with allergies or cleanliness issues should be interested in shedding factors and grooming needs. Not being completely informed or knowing what to expect might bring about some very unpleasant surprises for the new owners.

The Cavachon is designer breed that was created by combining the beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the super cute Bichon Frise. The each possess very admirable qualities that were passed on to this offspring pup. As with all animals, some aspects of these dogs are not going to be attractive to every potential owner.

As far as size is concerned, these dogs are adaptable to almost any living conditions. They are considered a small to mid range breed which means they do not require the extra safety precautions needed for toy sized pups, nor do they need the excessive yard space that benefits the larger animals. Whether living in an apartment, duplex or house, they can live comfortably with no real issues in this area.

A very important factor for many people is the amount of shedding the breed experiences as it affects allergies and housekeeping requirements. Even though their fur can be either loosely curled and short or fall in long, silky waves, the results are the same. These dogs produce little to no amount of dander and experience virtually unnoticeable hair loss which is great for both cleaning and breathing issues.

Their fur, depending on which style the pup is sporting, will require particular grooming attention. Those with the longer strands will be prone to tangles and dullness if not brushed out several times a week. The short and curly coats can grow a bit thick and bulky if not given a professional trimming every three to four months, or as often as needed if living in extremely warm conditions.

Since these are incredibly social dogs, they will demand a lot of attention and would do great with older children or other pets around to keep them company when the owner is out. As they love to play and lick faces and will only bark as a way of alerting the family to potential threats, this breed is a failure as a guard dog. All these personality traits and care needs are things any potential pet parent should take the time to make themselves familiar with before getting a puppy.
