Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed of dog that is known for its gentle, friendly, and affectionate personality. It is a member of the toy breed family and is characterized by its silky, wavy fur and distinctive large, round eyes. This breed originated in the United Kingdom and is one of the oldest of the toy breeds, having been around since the 1500s. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are usually in the range of 12 to 13 inches in height and 13 to 18 pounds in weight.
Although many people assume that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are non-shedding dogs, they actually do shed like all other purebred dogs. They do not, however, shed as much as some other dog breeds. With regular grooming, keeping up with regular brushing, regularly trimmed nails, and frequent bathing, shedding can be kept to a minimum. Additionally, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels require minimal exercise, so the amount of shedding can also be reduced.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels should be fed a good quality, nutritionally balanced dog food that meets the daily dietary requirements for their size, age, and activity level. High-quality canned and dry food, preferably from a veterinarian should provide them with the necessary protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins that are needed for healthy growth. If feeding a home-made diet, be sure to consult a veterinarian to create a balanced, complete diet for your pet.
Before bringing home your new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it is important to prepare your home. Make sure all your cords and wires are tucked away, any house-plants out of reach, and hazardous materials put away. Clear the tub and counters of soaps and shampoos to avoid ingesting them. Put any loose objects up higher. Set aside a space for the pup to have their own place to rest like a puppy bed and provide them with maybe a toy or two. You will also want to make sure to puppy-proof the entire house as much as you can.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy typically grows to a size of around 12-13 inches tall at the shoulder and typically weighs between 13 and 18 pounds as an adult. As puppies, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels usually double their birth weight by the time they are 4 weeks old, so you can expect your pup to grow to its adult size within the first year of its life. Their coat is usually long, luxurious and will require regular brushing and grooming to keep it looking its best.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels need moderate amounts of exercise. They were originally bred for companionship, and consequently are content to go for leisurely walks and explore the environment around them. On average, an adult Cavalier needs around an hour of moderate activity on most days, either in the form of a walk or playing with a ball or tug toy. Even so, these dogs may not always be the most energetic of breeds, so jogging and running errands can also be suitable.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are well-known for their excellent family suitability. These docile dogs make excellent companions, as they form strong bonds with their owners and are highly affectionate. They are loyal and playful, which makes them the perfect family pet. They are generally low-maintenance and easy to care for, needing minimal exercise and loving attention. Their small size also makes them easier to manage for all family members, as well as more convenient for living spaces and quick transportation for trips.
Training a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel starts early, with basic commands such as "sit", "stay", "come" and "heel". Work with your pup for a few minutes each day in a quiet area to help him learn. Positive reinforcement is key give him lots of praise and treats when he does perform the command correctly. Additionally, because Cavaliers are loyal to their humans, spending time with your pup during training helps him understand and learn faster. Start slowly by introducing one command at a time and building up from there.
