Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are beloved for their good nature, friendliness, and intelligence. These dogs, originating from 15th century Europe, are a small breed of spaniel that are at home both indoors and outdoors. Though easy to train, Cavaliers can be strong-willed and require regular exercise. Praise, gentle corrections, obedience training, and playtime that require thinking and problem-solving skills are recommended for the breed.
While a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is not a fully hypoallergenic breed of dog, people with mild allergies may find that their reactions to the breed are milder than reactions to other breeds. That is because this breed does not have an undercoat like some other breeds and so the amount of fur and dander produced is limited. However, all breeds produce some dander (a combination of flakes of skin and fur) and can cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to pet hair and dander.
