Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a popular breed of toy dog characterized by their friendly and devoted nature, intelligence and eagerness to please. They are compact in size, ranging from 12 to 13 inches at the shoulder and the average weight falls in the range of 13 to 18 pounds, making them good companions in small spaces. Cavaliers are social and love spending time with humans; they usually live 12 to 15 years. Grooming needs are moderate to high, as they have long hair that needs daily brushing and occasional trims.
While no breed of dog is completely hypoallergenic, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels come close. They tend to be very low shedding which can greatly reduce the amount of dander, or what causes an allergic reaction in people, left in your home. Additionally, they are very low maintenance when it comes to grooming; in fact, they only require an occasional brushing or combing to keep their coat shiny and healthy. Furthermore, Cavaliers rarely bark or otherwise make a lot of noise, making them a particularly desirable option for people who suffer from allergies.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do have special dietary needs as compared to other breeds of dog. Generally speaking, this breed should be fed a high-quality, commercially produced food containing no preservatives, coloring, or artificial flavors. As the breed is naturally prone to obesity, high-quality, low-fat food should be chosen. Additionally, the breed typically thrives with a diet ethically produced with limited ingredients and minimal grain content. Regular meal times, portion controlled diets and quality treats are recommended to keep them fit and healthy.
To become the best puppy parent while waiting for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it's important to use positive reinforcement training with lots of treats and praise. Establishing a daily routine can also help familiarize your pup with certain activities like meal times and potty breaks. Keeping your pup in a crate when you are not home is essential for teaching proper housebreaking. And providing plenty of socialization with people and other dogs will help ensure your pup grows up to be well-adjusted. Keep in mind that puppies are a lot of work and will require plenty of time and energy from you.
Your exact Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy size depends on a variety of factors, but typically, most pups grow to be between 12-13 inches tall and between 13-18 pounds when fully grown. However, there can be minor size variations, as the breed is considered a “toy” breed. While Cavaliers have a standard size range, factors like genetics, exercise, and nutrition can affect the overall size of your pup.
Cavaliers King Charles Spaniels are medium-sized dogs and do not require an extremely extensive exercise routine. Depending on the individual, they typically need thirty minutes up to an hour of light activity each day. This could include a good walk, fetch, or other activities that get the heart rate up, like running or swimming. For mental exercise, these dogs benefit greatly from interactive play or activities like agility or obedience training.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally great with kids. They are loving, gentle, and patient dogs and make wonderful companions for both children and adults. They can be incredibly playful and affectionate, and will show their love to everyone in the family. They may be small, but their loyalty and devotion make them surely one of the most amiable members of any pet-owning family. They are resilient and like to join the family in activities, making them very interactive partners for children of all ages.
Training a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is not a difficult task but it is important that you are patient and consistent with your approach. First, start off with basic commands and positive reinforcement with treats--reward your pooch when they follow a command. As your pup gets older and better at understanding commands, you can practice more advanced activities like obedience and agility training. Establish a set routine so that your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel understands when certain behaviors are expected. It is also important to socialize your puppy early on so that they are comfortable around other animals and people.
