Questions & Answers

The breed has a strong yet gentle nature and tends to be quite sensitive. They love being part of the family and thrive when immersed in love and attention. The breed is easily trainable and is both charming and affectionate. Cavaliers love activities such as chasing balls and running, but are also content with a good cuddle.

The typical coloration of the breed is white with either tan or black markings on the ears and muzzle. The breed is also seen in solid red, black and tan, blenheim (red and white), ruby (deep red) and tri-color (black, tan and white). The coat is medium in length and requires regular brushing and grooming to stay healthy and looking its best.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels may have special dietary needs. As a breed, these wonderful dogs tend to become overweight if not given proper meal management and exercise. It is important to ensure they are eating a careful balanced diet with food specifically formulated for their breed type and size. For example, a high-quality diet containing ingredients tailored to the particular dietary needs of this breed will help ensure they receive the right proportions of proteins and carbohydrates. Additionally, it is important to ensure they are eating the right amount of food and not overfeeding.
Before getting your new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, make sure you have the necessities such as food, treats, toys, and a crate or kennel for their sleeping area. It's also important to sign up for obedience training classes so your pup is taught to listen and respect the people around them. In addition, look into puppy classes, as they are important for socialization. Look into common health concerns your breed is prone to, such as canine hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and mitral valve disease.
Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy will likely reach a maximum size of 12-13 inches at the shoulder when fully grown. This size may vary slightly depending on the genes and gender of your pup, but is a standard measurement for the breed. The adult weight can range from 13-18 pounds, so it’s important to feed your pup a balanced diet, as well as maintain a regular exercise regime, to help them reach optimal health and avoid potential weight-related health issues.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels need a moderate amount of exercise, including daily walks and playtime. Regular physical activity helps keep them healthy and is important for their overall wellbeing. It also helps expend their energy levels and promotes good behaviour. An ideal exercise regiment for an adult Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would involve 30 minutes of daily walks and 15 minutes of playtime. Puppies, on the other hand, require more exercise and should be taken for several smaller walks throughout the day for a total of one hour, as well as several periods of playtime.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make excellent pets for families with children. These loyal and affectionate dogs thrive in the company of humans, and as such, will quickly become best friends with any family member. They enjoy playing and being around kids and usually have a calm and gentle temperament. As with any pet, however, to ensure your Cavalier is properly socialized and gets along with your children, it is best to introduce them from an early age, and show both the children and the dog how to interact respectfully.
To successfully train your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it is important to have patience and consistency. Start with providing positive reinforcement during training with rewards such as rewards treats. Create rules and be consistent in reinforcing those rules. While trying to train your dog, make sure to pay attention to its behavior and reactions. Give rewards for good behavior and use a mild correction for bad behavior. Try to train your dog in a series of short sessions, allowing for breaks in between. This will also help keep him motivated, as long sessions can be mentally tiring.
