Questions & Answers

They are great with children and other pets and do best in an environment where they are able to be around their owners. The breed is relatively low-maintenance, but there are a few things to be aware of when living with a Cavalier. Exercise is important for them and they should be taken for two to three walks of a moderate to long length each day.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a unique and beautiful coat. It is made up of a long, silky, and wavy outer coat, with a thick and soft undercoat. The most common colors of this breed are Blenheim, black and tan, and ruby, although there are some occasional darker or lighter variations of these three colors. The coat is kept fairly long, but should never be too long to where it touches the ground. The coat requires regular upkeep, usually through brushing and occasional bathing, both to remove dirt and maintain the silky feel.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a small breed of dogs that do best on a balanced diet based on the size and activity level of the individual dog.

This will ensure your pup gets enough exercise as exercise helps keep their minds and bodies healthy and prevents behavioral issues. Depending on your pup's individual energy level you may need to adjust the walking time to suit their needs. Be sure to monitor your pup closely and look for signs of fatigue such as panting heavily, slowing down and refusing to walk forward. If any of these signs appear, you should limit the walk time, stop and offer your pup breaks.

They are loyal and devoted to their human companions, and typically are very good with children of all ages. Their small size also makes them a great companion for urban and suburban families. Their intelligence and eagerness to learn allows them to pick up commands quickly, and they are typically eager to please.

As your pup gets the hang of these commands, introduce new commands such as “down”, “heel”, and “leave it”.
