A note from Lanetta

Buddy graduated from his puppy class yesterday, can you believe Buddy has been with us for 2 months now?

He is doing great and we love him more every day.  He really is a good boy and perfect match for our family.  I told my husband I don't think he's a lap dog, he's a shoulder dog because he'd rather lay on us with his head over our shoulder than curl up on our lap.

He's still a puppy & has tons of energy, and he & Drew run in the backyard often.  We're only a few blocks from Drew's school, so we walk and Buddy loves to go with us.  He is so well behaved even in the chaos when they all get out in the afternoon.

He tries to say hi to everyone he sees, but will stay focused when walking on a leash.  We still have so many people ask what kind of dog he is and tell us how cute he is. 

Thank you for a wonderful puppy,

Lanetta Rowley

Praise from Kelly

We have Benji!  He is adorable and everyone is in love!  He is so playful and happy.

The girls didn't want to let him go to sleep tonight. We've already been to Petsmart and are official dog owners :)

We've attached a picture of the girls with their new love.

Thanks again.  We love him so!

A note from the Kapoors

We cannot thank you enough for Snow Bunny (now Zoey). She has integrated beautifully into our family and is a source of joy everyday. Kudos to you for terrific crate training - she arrived that way and to date makes zero fuss with her crate and is already 90% house trained in the span of a few short weeks since we have had her. She accompanied me to the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago and was awesome to travel (in cabin) with.

Just as your site says - she thinks everyone she passes by has come to meet specifically with her - he has a super personality and everyone in the family loves something different about her. She just has so much to offer and a massive fan following already. 

What can I say - Thank you for Zoey and for your continued support and responsiveness on numerous topics/questions that I have solicited your advice. 

Warmest Regards,

The Kapoors (DC metro area)

The Importance of Grooming for Cavachon Puppies

Cavachon puppies come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they all have in common is that they love to be groomed. Here’s why grooming is so important for your Cavachon puppy and some tips on how to start. 

Maintaining a Healthy Coat

Cavachons' hair is thick and wavy, so regular brushing is essential to keep it smooth and free of tangles and matting. Brushing your Cavachon at least a couple of times a week will help keep your dog's coat smooth and free of knots. Not only will this make your Cavachon look great, but regular brushing will also help prevent matted fur from causing discomfort and skin issues. If your Cavachon has curly or wavy hair, it’s a good idea to consider investing in a good quality slicker brush, or comb.

Preventing Skin Problems

Grooming isn’t just about taking care of your Cavachon’s fur—it’s also about keeping your puppy’s skin healthy. Using a gentle dog shampoo every few weeks can help get rid of dirt, allergens and excess oils. However, it’s important to remember that too many baths can strip your puppy of natural oils, which can lead to dry skin and irritation.

Trimming and Maintenance

Regular grooming also includes trimming your Cavachon’s fur, especially around its eyes, ears and paws. Maintaining these areas clean and tidy not only makes your puppy look better, but it also helps prevent infections and other problems. If you’re not sure about trimming, it’s a good idea to ask a professional groomer for help. You can also look for tutorials or even edit videos online for free to make your own grooming guides.

Final Thoughts

Regular grooming can help keep your puppy’s coat healthy and free of matting, help prevent skin problems, and build a strong bond with your puppy. Whether you groom your puppy at home or take them to a professional groomer, the time you spend grooming your puppy will be worth it when your puppy looks and feels its best.
