Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have been noted in paintings as early as the 14th century, although they have been more associated with royalty since the 1700s. These small spaniels have smooth, silky fur that comes in four colors black and tan, ruby, Blenheim and tri-color with the Blenheim being a chestnut red and white combination. Cavaliers are known for having an even-tempered, friendly personality, making them great companion dogs. They are moderately active and require regular exercise in the form of long, leisurely walks and playing in the yard.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is not considered to be a hypoallergenic breed. However, they have a low to non-shedding coat that produces very little dander, so they may be better tolerated by those who suffer from pet allergies than some other breeds. It's important to keep in mind that allergies are highly individualized and that there is no guarantee that exposure to this breed won't cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Additionally, a dog's health and coat condition can have an impact on their tolerability to those with pet allergies.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have special dietary needs. They have a tendency to become overweight, so it's important to feed an optimal diet that is specifically tailored to their needs. This typically includes high-quality, digestible foods that are low in fat, grains, and processed fillers and provide essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and protein. Proper hydration is also important. Since puppies are growing rapidly, they require more calories and nutrients than adult dogs, and their diet may need to be supplemented accordingly.
The best way to be a great puppy parent while waiting for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is to start doing some research beforehand. Read up on the breed, talk to other CKCS owners, and visit shelters and breeders if possible. You will also want to create a safe environment for your pup by puppy-proofing your home, stocking up on essential supplies, making sure you're familiar with the breed's health concerns, and setting regular vet visits. Being informed about proper nutrition, grooming, toys, and training will also be beneficial.
The size of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy can vary greatly depending on parent size, genetics, and diet. Generally speaking, they will reach adulthood at around 12 to 13 inches tall, and weigh 12 to 18 pounds. However, it's important to note that adult size can't always be reliably predicted at the puppy stage. The best way to estimate the adult size of a puppy is by measuring the parents. If the parents are both within the typical size range, their puppy can typically be expected to be within or close to the range as well.
Walking your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an important part of maintaining their health, which is why it's recommended to dedicate some time each day to exercise. Depending on the age, size and health of your pet, the exact amount of minutes per day your pup should be walked can vary. It's typically recommended that younger and healthier dogs are walked for around 20 minutes per day, while smaller and older dogs should start with about 10 minutes per day. Additional exercise and activity can also be beneficial; this can include playing indoors with toys and having regular playdates with another pup.
Absolutely. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are renowned for making great family dogs their patient and loving personalities make them the perfect pet for families. They're friendly and affectionate, and get along with both adults and children of all ages, as well as other pets in the home. They are also relatively easy to train and usually respond very well to positive reinforcement. On top of that, Cavaliers are low-maintenance they only need a moderate amount of exercise and grooming, making them suitable pets even for busy families.

Training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should happen in a consistent and positive way. Start by introducing basic commands such as 'sit' and 'stay'. Keep the training sessions short to keep your pup's attention. Once your pup responds to these commands quickly and without fail, move on to something more challenging such as 'come' or 'down'. Positive reinforcement may work better than scolding and punishment. Use tasty treats to reward positive behaviors, and above all else, be patient with your pup. Don't rush the process and always be consistent by reinforcing the same command when needed.
