Bella and Mecce

Bella and Mecce are mother and son.  Bella is a 7 year old Bichon while Mecce is a Cavachon, 6 years of age.  Their owner had to move house and couldn’t take the dogs,

These are very friendly easy dogs who will make wonderful pets in the right home.  They walk well on the lead, they are fine meeting other dogs and they are all-round adorable.

Both are now neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Bella has had a few litters of pups in the past, fortunately those days are past now.

While Mecce is in very robust health, Bella has a distinct luxating patella on her hind leg.  This is a common issue, we often see it in the “terrier hop” whereby they hold up their leg a while, and then start using it again.  It is caused by the kneecap moving around a bit within the leg and dogs can live unhindered by it for many years.

Bella’s hop is more pronounced than some, her hop can go on for a couple of minutes before righting itself.  The veterinary advice is that while the kneecap continues to click into place we should leave well enough alone.  However, this is something that will most likely need attention across future years whenever she starts to feel any pain or if the patella does not continue to right itself.  Future owners must be committed to ensuring that she receives the care she needs when she needs it.

Other than this issue, Bella and Mecce are easy, lovable, friendly dogs who would do well in most homes.  A secure garden is essential as is a life of extreme cosiness!
