Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for their sweet and affectionate temperaments. These friendly little pups were bred in England in the 16th and 17th centuries, primarily as lapdogs for royalty, who would carry them to social functions and carry them around their castles. Despite their regal past, their modern version are quite content to just hang around the home. They are relatively low-energy but remain active dogs, thriving on outdoor play and long walks. Cavaliers have silky-soft coats that can come in several colors, including black and tan, tricolor, or ruby.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do shed; however, they are considered to be light shedders and are unlikely to produce large amounts of hair in comparison to other breeds. Though light shedding is typical of the breed, brushing often will help to reduce the shedding to a minimum. As part of their regular grooming routine, Cavaliers should be brushed at least twice a week to remove dead, loose hair and keep the coat looking glossy and healthy. Bathing your dog with a gentle dog shampoo should also be done sporadically to help reduce shedding.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels typically have the same dietary needs as other dog breeds. However, as they are a small breed, they may require smaller portions than other breeds. When feeding your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it's important to provide a balanced diet, with lean protein sources and a variety of vegetables and grains. You should also ensure that the food is age-appropriate for your dog, as puppies and adult dogs will require different nutrient levels. Lastly, make sure that your dog does not become overweight, as King Charles Spaniels can be prone to weight gain.

The ultimate size of your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy depends on several factors, such as the size of its parents, diet, and overall health. Generally speaking, adults of this breed weigh in somewhere between 12 to 18 pounds, and stand between 12 to 13 inches tall at the shoulder. Of course you won't know exactly how big your puppy will be until it's fully grown, but providing a balanced diet and plenty of exercise will help it reach it's maximum potential.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are an active breed and need a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. Spaniels tend to enjoy daily walks, being outdoors, playing games, and should be given opportunities to explore and sniff all the interesting smells. For adult dogs, 45 minutes to an hour of exercise per day is recommended. Additionally, they should be encouraged to play interactive games such as fetch and catch, as well as indoor activities such as agility that can stimulate their minds. Appropriately stimulating the breed helps reduce boredom, which can lead to destructive behavior.
