Cava-Tzus are extremely intelligent dogs. Most agree they have a cute face from puppyhood to adulthood. They are a very playful and active breed and enjoy lots of attention. After a big play they will sleep for ages, this does not change as they reach adulthood. They are very loyal and make great companion dogs. They train easily but be patient with potty training as this does take them a little longer. They enjoy being with children but watch young ones as they are very good jumpers when excited. Cava-Tzus are friendly, affectionate and loving beautiful dogs. They are easily spoilt because of their big eyes, which they inherit from the King Charles.
This breed is intelligent and generally very happy. They are easy to train. They get along well with children and other dogs if properly socialized from birth.
They are also very lovable I love them mine is named Chewy so ya
They are very easy to maintain. Their smooth silky hair rarely knots and needs clipping every two to three months.
Many Cara-Tzus have curly hair on their ears like the King Charles Cavaliers. Most owners prefer to visit the groomer on a regular basis as these areas are prone to small knots. A 'slicker brush' is ideal for the overall grooming of their coat. Most owners prefer groomers that scissor cuts their coat rather than shave. This gives the coat a nicer look and is not as harsh as clipping. Professional grooming is advisable every 6-8 weeks. Because Cava-Tzu's are primarily an inside dog they should be bathed at least every 2 weeks in a hypoallergenic shampoo. Their skin is sensitive so be careful as to what shampoo and conditioner is used. Other than their coat, the Cava-Tzu only needs love, affection and a good diet.
Cava-Tzu's love food and some owners choose to feed a well balanced diet of fresh meat. A homemade cooked meal of beef or chicken with a mixture of vegetables with either rice or pasta is a great alternative to canned food as it can be high in fat and salt. The addition of a good quality Omega 3 supplement can be added to their food. This is great for the general health of your dogs coat and for the treatment of arthritis and skin conditions. A bone every 2-3 weeks is a must. This keeps their breath smelling nice, their teeth clean and gums healthy.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
My 8 month old doesn't seem to have a big appetite either. I tired a holistic brand when he was little then gradually changed to Iams, when he wouldn't eat that I started him on Little Bites. He eats it slowly, takes a few nuggets and eats them then goes back for more later. I keep it out for him, that way I know he is eating. Be sure to limit treats.
Wonderfull loving and very clever dog great with kids when out walking everybody makes a fuss

Name:
Otis
Color:
Brown / White Mix
Description:
We rescued Otis when he was 7 months old. Previous owners didn't have time for him and were planning on turning him over to a shelter. After getting him it became evident that he had been kept in a kennel most of his life as he had problems with his back legs, walking very far, he couldn't go up and down stairs without falling, and wasn't able to jump. I was worried it was a genetic problem but each day he improved and now even though he is a little clumsy, he is doing great! They also told us he was potty trained...which wasn't true and has been a challenge, but he is worth it. He is so loving, sweet, very playful, and great with our other animals!!!

Loved by everyone, even people who generally don't like dogs, (converted 3)
Friendly, likes other animals.
Took about 6 monthes to get the potty training to stick, finally put bells on the door and he rings them to go out. Very smart. Fetches and has his special baby bear he carries around, knows when I say lets go see grandma he should run to the car.
Loves to chew on ice cubes, loves to ride in his car seat and look around.
He is my first dog and I love him to bits!! He greets me at the door when I get home from work, wants picked up, gives kisses and lays his head on my shoulder.
Great breed,glad I found him.

Name:
Lucy
Color:
tan, brown, white, black
Description:
This picture is after Lucy had her "summer cut" right before the 4th of July. We could not have even imagined how much we would love and adore our little darling Lucy! I have a friend who has two cavaliers and I loved them but did not like the shedding. Lucy is the most well behaved dog, never barks, loves to cuddle and play fetch she also loves to be held like a baby with her head over your shoulder and paws around your neck. We had no trouble potty training her at all, she is very petite for this breed as she only weighs 8 lbs and is full grown. I think everyone should own a cava tzu!

Name:
Ted
Color:
Apricot/white
Description:
Ted is a very loving, smart and energetic puppy.
He is extremely affectionate and adores cuddles, tummy tickles and lots of pats.
He has been to puppy training and has very quickly learnt how to do all the commands. He has socialised with other puppies and although he was timid at first he has become quite playful.
We've had some trouble toilet training him but he is slowly learning.
He has been an absolutely delightful puppy and we're looking forward watching him grow into an adult dog.
