THE CAVACHON IS AN INTELLIGANT, RESPECTFUL, DEDICATED
LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY. THEY COME IN A VARIETY OF COLORS
SUCH AS SABLE, TRI, PEACH, APRICOT AND WHITE, RED AND
WHITE AND WHITE. THE ADULT SIZE OF THE CAVACHON IS
OFTEN SEEN BETWEEN 10 AND 20 POUNDS. SIZE OF THE
PARENTS IS SOMEWHAT OF AN INDICATION OF SIZE BUT NOT
REAL PREDICTABLE WHEN DETERMINING THE ADULT SIZE OF A
PUPPY. THEIR HAIR SHOULD BE NICE AND FULL AND IS NOT
EVIDENT ON A 2-3 WEEK PUPPY BUT A FULL COAT SHOULD BE
NOTICEABLE BY 6-8 WEEKS. WE OFTEN SEE A FLAT COAT ON A
SECOND GENERATION CAVACHON. THE COAT OF THE
CAVACHON SHOULD BE NON SHEDDING TO VERY LITTLE
SHEDDING. BEING NONSHEDDING, THE CAVACHON COAT
REQUIRES A GOOD BRUSHING EVERY WEEK AND VISITS TO THE
GROOMER FOR A HAIRCUT. THE FREQUENCY OF TRIPS TO THE
GROOMERS WILL DEPEND ON THE OWNERS PREFERENCE ON
THE LEGNTH OF THE COAT.
HOW ABOUT THE PERSONALITY OF THE CAVACHON? WELL I
CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE CAVACHON IN THIS AREA.
THEY DEFINITELY ENJOY OUR COMPANIONSHIP BOTH
CHILDREN AND ADULTS. IT SEAMS LIKE THE GOAL OF THE
CAVACHON IS TO MAKE US HAPPY. THE CAVACHON
DEFINITELY ENJOYS WALKS AND BEING OUTDOORS. MOST
FIND GREAT ENJOYMENT WITH THE WATER INCLUDING
BOATING. CAVACHONS ARE GENTLE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN
BUT CAN PLAY BALL WITH THE TEENS. IT WOULD ALSO BE
UNUSUAL TO SEE AN AGRESSIVE CAVACHON.
NEXT WE WILL TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE
CAVACHON. THE HEALTH OF ANY BREED INCLUDING THE
CAVACHON RELIES THE MOST ON A RESPONSIBLE
BREEDER. WHENEVER YOU HAVE A CROSS BREED, THE
HEALTH IS GREATLY IMPROVED.
