Do Cavachons Make Ideal Companion Dogs?

As you probably already know, the dog, while being man's best friend

, was often bred throughout history to serve a variety of specific purposes and functions, like chase rabbits or spot game or kill rats. Believe it or not, that tradition continues today. Many canines are still valued for their distinct abilities.

But chances are if you're in the market for a dog, then you're wanting a loyal companion animal. So how do you know what to look for, and which breed is right for you? Only you can make the final decision, but a little knowledge can go a long way, so let me fill you in.

First off, you need to take all your factors into consideration before making a final selection. What is your home environment like? Do you have a house with a yard, or are you residing in an apartment? Do you have children, and if so, what are their ages and personalities like?

What sort of temperament are you looking for--a playful, active family-oriented personality, or a quiet, relaxed, one-man type of dog? How much time do you have to devote to your canine companion? What other pets do you have in the home?

You need to ask yourself these questions among many more. It is certainly unwise to choose a dog specifically based on looks or your previous conception of what the breed might be like. Remember that every dog is an individual and is affected by its experiences and unique personality.

Many "designer" dogs and toy breeds are bred specifically to become lapdogs, so if you're looking for a cute and cuddly pooch, then those arenas may be the best place to start. Cavachons are rapidly growing in popularity because of their low-shed coat, their gentle personalities, and their adorable appearance.

Cavachon puppies are a unique hybrid, paired from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise, hence their position in the "designer" category. They are still relatively rare in the breeding circuit, as pairing multi-generational hybrids tends to lose some of the characteristics for which Cavachons are so loved. But persistent and responsible Cavachon breeders continue to produce puppies with all the unique traits to this fledgling breed.

While it is not yet recognized by any kennel club, the Cavachon breed should still be brought to life in careful and safe conditions. Loving Cavachon breeders will screen mothers and fathers for genetic diseases they could potentially pass on to pups, meaning your Cavachon puppies are more likely to lead happy, healthy lives. Be sure to do your research and ask many questions before adopting.

Only you can choose the right companion dog for your family, but when you're armed with the facts, you will be better equipped to look in the right places.
