Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a unique breed of small dog. They are native to England, and have an interesting history spanning from being kept as companion pets for royalty to being the stars of various film and television roles. Fun facts about the breed include that they are the only toy breed with a longer nose than muzzle, a trait that is actually favored among breeders. Additionally, the breed has a loyal, gentle, and loving personality that has endeared them to millions of pet owners around the world.
While it is true that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) are not considered hypoallergenic, they shed much less than many other breeds. That being said, they do have a tendency to have some common dander and fur allergies, however these can usually be managed with a good diet and proper grooming routine. People with mild allergies may be able to tolerate the breed, but those with more severe allergies should stay away.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels require a diet of high-quality, nutritionally complete kibble formulated for small/toy breeds. Ideally, their meals should be low-fat and contain just enough protein to adequately meet their needs, but not so much that it causes weight gain. If supplementing with wet food, opt for something labeled as "light" or "lite," as these typically contain fewer calories. Avoid any food that contains artificial flavors and preservatives, as these can be damaging to a Cav's digestive system.
Preparing for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an exciting and important task! First, try to establish a routine with respect to sleeping, meals, playtime, and potty breaks. Secondly, you should research nutrition requirements, recommended activities, and ensure you have the necessary supplies such as a leash, collar, and food bowls. If possible, it is best to puppy-proof your home. Additionally, make sure you are administering vaccines, flea/tick treatments, and are up-to-date on veterinary check-ups according to your veterinary's instructions.
The size of your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy will vary as they grow. Generally, according to the official breed standards, adult males stand at 12-13 inches and weigh 13-18 pounds with females slightly smaller at 11-12 inches and weighing 12-17 pounds. However, depending on its lineage, your puppy may be slightly larger or smaller than the breed standard. Additionally, the nutrition and exercise you provide your Cavalier throughout its life may influence its growth and overall size, so it's important to make sure your pup gets adequate food and exercise as it matures.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a moderately active breed and generally need 30-60 minutes of exercise daily. They enjoy activities like walks, playtime, and short hikes to stay healthy and exercised. To prevent boredom and restlessness, it's recommended they have access to multiple walks and playtime throughout the day. High energy environments like parks and dog trails help maintain an elevated level of physical activity, and interactive toys help mentally stimulate them. It's also important to consider safety when exercising them since the breed is known for their love for chasing after birds and small animals.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make great family dogs! They are friendly, loyal, and affectionate perfect for any home environment. They are small and can fit even the most cramped apartment, but also love to run and play outdoors. They also get along well with other animals, making them ideal if you live with children, other pets, and frequent visitors. They thrive in a family environment and do best when they have a consistent daily routine and feel secure in their home. They can become very attached to their owners, making them the perfect companion for households of all sizes and ages.
Training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires consistency and patience. Begin by setting boundaries for your pet with both verbal commands and gestures. Be sure to reward each successful behavior with verbal praise and/or a treat. If at any time your pet behaves in an unacceptable manner, use positive reinforcement to redirect the behavior rather than attempting to punish the dog. Start with basic commands such as sit, stay, down, and come. Progress to walking on a leash, and then move on to more complex activities, such as learning basic tricks.
