Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are an iconic breed of small spaniels. They are known for their friendly temperaments and welcoming demeanors. For centuries, they have been companions to monarchs and nobility, and, as such, they have even inspired art including Van Dyck's famous portrait, 'Charles I with his Dog, Rover'. In addition to their endless love and devotion, there are some fun facts about this breed. For instance, Cavaliers have the longest ear fur of all spaniel varieties, which gives them a very distinctive appearance.
While Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do not specifically fall into the hypoallergenic dog breed category, they do possess moderate allergen levels that may be tolerated by those with some pet allergies. This is contrary to the perception that all dogs are likely to trigger an allergy attack in allergy sufferers. Dog allergies are typically caused by proteins in the dog's saliva, dander and urine which are shed off into the environment and onto carpets and furniture.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are omnivores and their diet should consist of a premium quality dry kibble supplemented with wet canned dog food and/or home-cooked meals. Some suitable options for mealtime include lean proteins such as chicken, turkey, or lean beef, as well as fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes. It is important to be mindful of portion sizes and not to overfeed your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as obesity can lead to serious health risks.
Becoming the best puppy parent you can be for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel starts long before you bring the pup home. Research the breed, have a supply of food and toys ready, and make sure your living space is puppy-proofed and can accommodate a new family member. When the pup arrives, take your time to get to know and bond with them. Establish routines right away to aid in house training, providing structure and security so your pup feels safe.
You can usually expect that a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy will mature between 12-13 inches tall and weigh about 13-18 pounds. While the size of each puppy can slightly vary, most tend to stay within this range. It's important to take regular visits to the vet to keep track of the puppy's healthy growth. Keeping it well-nourished with a balanced diet is essential for helping your puppy grow at a healthy rate. Additionally, exercising your pup for at least 30 minutes a day can ensure its growth is well-rounded and that its health is being taken care of.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel needs at least two daily walks, playtime, and lots of human interaction to stay healthy and happy. The breed is an active one, so a combination of physical activity, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement will keep them in good shape. Depending on the individual, they may need higher activity levels to retain good health and mental wellbeing. Exercise also encourages obedience and makes them better behaved. A minimum of 60 minutes per day of physical and mental exercise is recommended to keep them healthy and happy.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are often described as embodying the phrase “love is a four-legged word.” That says volumes about their reputation for being a loving and gentle breed, especially when it comes to children. These dogs, loyal and devoted to their people, will adapt to most households with kids provided they are given sufficient socialization. Not only are Cavs excellent with children, they make for ideal playmates, who are willing to accompany children almost anywhere.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are recognized for their intelligence. They are not as easy to train as many other breeds, but they can understand basic commands with consistency and reinforcement. Their little minds can store memories of faces, places, and commands, so they can pick up quickly and obey instructions. However, they are incredibly curious and they can get overexcited while playing, making them less obedient in certain situations. Overall, with enough patience and dedication, the breed can become an obedient, loving, thoughtful and well-behaved canine companion.
