Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a breed of small spaniel that originated in England during the 16th century. They are a medium-sized breed and weigh between 13-18 lbs upon reaching adulthood. They feature a very distinctive coat, often featuring a silky texture. The breed comes in four main colors: black and tan, ruby, tricolor, and blenheim. Their personality is often described as gentle and loving, making them a great companion for families with children. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have an average life expectancy of 9-14 years.
No, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are not non-shedding. Although they have a longer, silky coat that requires regular brushing, they do still shed. The amount of shedding depends on the individual dog and their particular coat. To reduce shedding, it is important for owners to brush their Cavalier on a regular basis and provide good nutrition. Additionally, regular visits to the groomer can reduce the amount of loose hair in your home. Taking these steps can help keep you and your Cavalier happier and more comfortable.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels enjoy a balanced diet of high-quality dry food made specifically for small-breed dogs along with fresh, human-grade protein sources like cooked poultry. It's important to avoid overfeeding to maintain their ideal body weight. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels also benefit from calcium-rich snacks, such as dried bones or special treats designed for dogs, and occasional cooked vegetables like sweet potatoes and green beans.
To get your home ready for a new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, first and foremost, you'll need to puppy-proof your house. Hidden dangers such as small objects and choking hazards like coins and paperclips should be removed from their reach and from the floors. Next, it's important to make sure your pup will have access to a comfortable area for rest and relaxation, so set up a crate or secure a room filled with dog beds, toys, and chews.
Generally speaking, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy will be a small breed dog that typically reaches its full adult size within one year. Adult size varies slightly between males and females, but grown Cavaliers typically reach an average height of 12-13 inches, and an average weight of 13-18 pounds. All puppies start out looking very small, so it might take some patience to watch and wait until they reach their full adult size.
An appropriate amount of daily exercise for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is essential for a healthy, happy and balanced life. Generally, it is recommended that an adult Cavalier should get between 30-60 minutes of daily physical activity, walking being the most beneficial. This exercise should be broken up into two or three different sessions throughout the day to avoid over-exercising. Optimal conditions for walking include a controlled environment and off-leash play if possible. This allows the dog to explore and smell things as it would in the wilderness, boosting its awareness and increasing its enjoyment.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a wonderful choice for a family dog. They have a history of being affectionate, friendly, and reliable. They are loyal to their family and make excellent lapdogs that both adults and children alike can enjoy. Indeed, they are known for their even temperaments and are very sociable, so they make excellent playmates for other family pets. Their small size however means they are easily managed, and their need for exercise is mostly limited to quick sprints and walks.
It is important to begin by socializing your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel during their puppy stage to introduce them to as many new people and situations as possible. You can also begin teaching basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' as soon as your pup is ready for it. Be sure to use positive reinforcement methods such as treats and praise when your pup does something correctly, as this encourages them to continue the behavior. You can also enroll your Cavalier in weekly training classes to help them learn more commands and develop more obedience.
