Tips For Finding Cavachon Breeders

By Andrew Wallace


Adopting a puppy or an adult from a rescue group or shelter is highly recommended before buying one. However, if your heart is set on a purebred puppy, then the first thing to consider is to find a breeder who understands what he or she is doing. Unlike unscrupulous people and even pet shops, good breeders prefer to breed healthy dogs with good characteristics.

Through this, you have a great chance to get the pup you want the most. In addition to that, they also understand the proper way of taking care of puppies in a way that can prepare them a new life in your family. Basically, there are lots of breeders who are not aware of the process and the rules, too. Therefore, in order to find the right Cavachon breeders, you should invest more time in researching before making a decision.

Always remember that anyone who breeds adult dogs will do various things. He or she will be performing genetic and health tests prior to the breeding. Of course, he will not breed the ones that are known to have heritable problems or those that are aggressive. It is an extra point if he or she supports crossing troubled breeds to reduce heritable disorders.

Additionally, a credible breeder knows the background and health history of each breed. Typically, it is never an easy thing for anyone to develop a thorough knowledge and expertise about different kinds of a breed. Therefore, a breeder who specializes in one or two breeds is a good resort. You should avoid doing business with those who are claiming to breed a variety of dogs at one time.

It is usually said that meeting both parents of the puppies you want is important. But that is not necessary at a lot, especially when dealing with credible breeders. But if you are warned away from the parents, then go elsewhere. As you can see, temperament is heritable. An aggressive mother definitely can produce healthy pups, but getting a friendly companion is much better.

One great source of information is word of mouth recommendations. However, it does not mean your relative or neighbor has a good puppy unless he or she has a great expertise. So rather, talk to those who participate in formal agility and obedience training as well as herding competitions.

If you want, you can also ask your veterinarian, visit local dog shows or call several breeding clubs to get referrals and recommendations. Visit and speak with many breeders as you can. That way, you can get a sense of how dedicated and passionate they are for breeding. You should ask questions regarding the health and condition of the pups before making a final decision.

Pay attention to the surroundings and the puppies they breed when visiting their place. You should look for a breeder who breeds and raises dogs inside. Dogs and pups being raised as family pets should be placed inside the house with the family and not in the garage or basement.

You will also notice that those proper cared for are those who seem comfortable with other animals and humans. That is actually a good sign that they have been socialized and cared for. Moreover, a good breeder is also motivated by the passion for the breed, not by making extra money. If you are buying a puppy who is not going to be bred, you should ask the breeder to sign a contract to avoid contributing to dog overpopulation.
