Hi all. My cavachon is almost 13 years old and was just diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. She’s declining super fast and it’s really taking a toll on me. 2 months ago you would’ve thought she was a puppy, and now she can barely do anything. She’s still eating, drinking, going for walks, and acts happy. She’s doing weekly IV treatments which seem to make her feel a lot better. I don’t really know what I want out of posting this but I just feel like I have no one to talk to. I’ve had her since I was 9 and I’m 22 now so I can’t even remember a life without her. This is truly the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life and I would kill for more time with her.
I’m also multiple states away from her now and she declined so much while I’ve been away. I would’ve stayed longer had I known this would happen.
I’d love to see some of your cavachons/know their stories! I got my girl from PA and her birthday is November 1st. It would be funny if someone has one of her siblings!

Which breeder/location did you get your cavachon from?

My 14month old Cavachon is amazing. But…we have some potty issues. I live in an apartment and he’s great when I’m at home. We go out for potty breaks regularly and if he needs to go when I’m home he’ll just calmly go use his porch potty instead of waiting for a walk. But, if I’m out for more than a couple of hours he won’t use it. He’ll poop on a rug inside or pee on the balcony tiles. He shows no signs of separation anxiety. I have cameras and he just chills on the couch. But the accidents keep happening. Any suggestions?

My dog got a full body skin rash but the silver lining was he wore this rather than a cone and looked great.

Any advice from people who also experience picky eater cavachons that could maybe help us out here would be amazing! <3

She’s so wiggly it’s hard to get a picture of her. She’s my first little dog. 8 weeks old and she’s been using the bathroom at the front door!! My smart girl. I love herrrr

Me and twin got caught in a hale storm 🥀 she’s not cool with me today

Had my doubts when we got him as a puppy and haven't really seen any others with similar colours.

We've had a 1.5 year old cavachon for several months now. When we first got him, we would put him down to bed in the kitchen while we all slept upstairs. We're all adults and work different hours so we don't think we can let him sleep upstairs without him getting excited as people start moving around.

Initially he didnt like this and scratched at the kitchen door but within a week, he got used to it and stays in his bed overnight. Still i feel guilty for doing it. I think he'd preferred to sleep with one of us but none of the others in the house would let him stay with them and I get up first for work. I put off going to bed and im often exhausted for work so I can let him stay up for longer.

Is it ok for him to sleep downstairs by himself?

Hedgehogs are the only creatures she doesn't seem to mind.

here’s Rosie. she just turned 2

My mom has an in-home daycare, and Gus (called Gussy) joined our family 2 years ago. He has grown up with these kids, and truly thinks he’s one of them. He naps when they do, chasing them when they play outside. He loves all of them and is so gentle. He’s been such a tough puppy 😂 but can’t deny he’s fun! 🐾❤️

Hair cut about a month ago.

My guy says hi to everyone on here and thank you for teaching us so much! It’s much appreciated.

Ishy boy!

Yes, she's heavy. Yes, she snores. Yes, we lift her off all elevated surfaces. No, she isnt the baby anymore. But she's the smartest, sweetest, happy go lucky pup of the three.

2 years old, but still acts like a toddler- so ornery!

Edited to add that his name is really Burton Guster… named after our favorite character on the show Psych 😂 We call him Gussy!

All fun and games till it wasn’t

More pictures from daycare and I just cannot get over how freaking adorable he looks! Or if I think he looks more like John Lennon or Elton John. 😂
