Looking for a Cavachon?

[borzoimom]

Thanks to Pet Talk, I have discovered "craigslist." Last week I picked up 2 doggie beds, almost brand new, and FREE!

Yesterday, on the RI Pet section, someone posted they are looking for a "cavachon." Needless to say, I had to look.

They have a 6 year old boy and he wants a "brother or sister." So they want to get him a puppy, and they want to know about local breeders of cavachons = Cavalier King Charles spaniel / bichon frise mix.

Is this one of those "designer dogs," a passing trend??? I REALLY want to direct these people to rescue groups, but I thought I'd run this past PT'ers first.

Freedom- those two breeds would be a total mess- Cavaliers have a silk coat that needs combing on the ears and skirt- add the bichon that doesnt shed but continues to grow the coat- .. good grief. Both breeds can have elbows, hip problems, HEARTS, AND autoimmune- and they just doubled it. And NO DESIGNER BREEDER IS GOING to use good ones of the breed- but whatever they can throw in the back yard..
