Description
A little package of cuteness and cuddles!
I am a Cavalier/Teddy Bear Mix puppy! I was born on August 4th and I will be ready for my forever home on September 29th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Mark and Linda Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
My Mom is Bella an 20lb AKC Cavalier and my Dad is Teddy a 15lb Teddy Bear.
Cavaliers are extremely loving dogs that are known to constantly have their tails wagging. This breed is extremely loyal and dislikes being left alone. They love to be with their owner, and will accompany them like a happy, little shadow. Their desire to please makes them relatively easy to train. This breed does have a high prey drive, so they may try to chase small animals. It would be wise to keep them in an enclosed area and monitored, or kept on a leash so they don’t accidentally wander off. Because of their size, Cavaliers can adapt really well to living in an apartment, as long as they are receiving enough physical and mental exercise throughout the day. It is vitally important not to take them on walks during the heat of the day, as they do not do well in extreme temperatures, and are especially intolerant to the heat. They usually weigh between 13-18 pounds, and are typically 12-13 inches tall at the shoulder.
Teddy Bears are very aptly named as they look like little teddy bears. They are a mix of a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise. They were specifically bred decades ago, most likely in the United States, to blend the unique characteristics of each breed. Teddy Bears make great therapy dogs due to their innate ability to sense those in pain whether physical or emotional. They are winsome, lovable, smart, and friendly. This cuddly breed would be beneficial to a senior due to its need for companionship. Teddy Bears are easy going and can get along with children, other pets, and strangers. They are fine living in apartments granted that they do get some exercise to keep from gaining weight. They usually do not have a tendency to bark, but make great watch dogs regardless. This energetic breed can be playful and yet cuddly. They are not a drooling breed, or a chewer, and are great for those with allergies. They are also easy to groom with their soft fur, but brushing needs to be done on a daily basis. They do not do well in extreme temperatures whether heat or cold, as they can experience respiratory distress if unable to breathe properly. They are normally between 9-12 inches high, and usually weigh between 9-15 pounds.
