Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small, loving and affectionate dog breed. They often have a gentle, anytime-happy attitude, making them a great companion for all ages. Characterized by their feathered-out tails and ears, Cavaliers are covered in thick, silky coat of varying colors. Their round eyes are typically deep and expressive, giving them a wise, trusting appearance. They usually stand between 12-13 inches tall, and can weigh between 12-19 pounds.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally considered to be a non-shedding breed, so if you're looking for a companion animal that you don't have to groom or vacuum up fur from all the time, this might be the breed for you. However, it's important to note that all dogs, even those that are considered to be non-shedding, lose a small amount of hair every day, so you may find some fur around if you look closely. With proper care and regular brushing, Cavaliers can stay relatively clean and keep shedding to a minimum.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do have some special dietary needs in comparison to other dog breeds. They require a well balanced, nutritious diet of high quality protein, carbohydrates, fats and the proper vitamins and minerals in order to maintain good health. Depending on the age of your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, they may need specific dietary requirements to support their growth, joint health, active lifestyle, and cognitive development. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels should have adequate amounts of proteins from sources such as essential fatty acids, calcium, and complex carbohydrates.
Preparing to bring home a new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel can be an exciting and rewarding experience but it's important to prepare ahead of time. The first step is to ensure you have the appropriate supplies for your pup, such as a bed, food and water dishes, a collar and leash, a few toys and treats, and acceptable and safe chew items. Check with your veterinarian for proper recommendations for all of these items for your new pup, as well as a schedule for required vaccinations.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are usually considered a small breed, growing to a height between 12 and 13 inches, and weighing between 13 and 18 pounds. Depending on their gender, they may be slightly taller or heavier than the average. In terms of their shape, these spaniels have long, level backs and their front legs should be slightly longer than their hind legs. Generally their fur is longer on their ears, making them look fluffy and friendly. All in all, these pooches make for good-sized companions for those wanting a smaller, easy-to-care-for dog.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels need daily exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy. They are an active breed and require a moderate amount of activity to stay fit and trim. Depending on its age, a Cavalier can generally benefit from a brisk 30-minute stroll on a leash per day, or a play session in the yard or a nearby dog park. If possible, you can also try engaging them in more challenging activities such as swimming or agility training. Remember that these activities should be moderated to ensure your pet doesn't overexert itself.
Absolutely! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make wonderful family dogs! Not only are they loyal and affectionate toward their humans, but they are also known for being gentle and patient with children. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are very adaptable, so they can adjust to an active family lifestyle or a more relaxed couch potato type atmosphere. They don’t require a lot of grooming but do need daily walks. These dogs can establish strong emotional bonds with their owners and are content to lay by their feet and provide unconditional love and companionship.
Training a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel can be a rewarding experience for any owner. These pooches are known for their excellent temperaments, so they are usually eager to please their owners. That makes them extremely versatile and trainable, and they can learn a wide variety of commands with patience and consistency. However, just like any other breed, training a Cavalier requires commitment and dedication. It is best to start young by providing consistent positive reinforcement, while rewarding desired behaviors and redirecting any undesired actions.
