Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for their intense loyalty and affection for their owners. They were initially bred in the 16th and 17th centuries for royalty and were even owned by a few of Britain's kings. They are considered a cheerful and friendly breed, and have a lifespan of 12-15 years. Cavaliers have a natural instinct to hunt, making them great retrievers and swimmers. While they can be boisterous, they should never be overly aggressive and are generally laid back and happy.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is well-known for its luxurious coat, which usually falls in long, silky curls; however, it can also be wavy or straight. The coat lays close to the body, giving the pup a look of elegance and grace. It is generally parted down the middle of the back, and typically comes in shades of black and white-tan, Ruby, and Blenheim (which is a mix of red and white markings).
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have special dietary needs. They are prone to a disorder called Syringomyelia, which is essentially a buildup of fluid that can cause pain and possible paralysis. To help with this, a diet high in certain antioxidants, such as omega-3 fatty acids, can help protect the spinal cord and nervous system. A balanced diet with quality, low-grain ingredients is also recommended, as grains can be difficult for Cavaliers to digest and can contribute to weight gain. Feeding smaller portions multiple times a day is also recommended to help Cavaliers maintain their ideal weight.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires patience, research, and dedication. Knowing what to expect, arming yourself with the right supplies, and being consistent with socialization and training are all key components to raising a happy, healthy puppy. Before your puppy arrives, research what kind of food to feed, the best bedding to use, how to potty train, and basic training. Being prepared in terms of supplies and knowledge can help make the transition into puppy parenthood smoother.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally considered small dogs, standing around 12-13 inches at the shoulder and 12-18 pounds in weight. A healthy breed, they are also known to be longer than they're tall, often having a slight "body curl" when standing still. Though the breed can vary a bit in size, their measurements should generally be in this range and their overall stature should be compact and balanced.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels need a moderate amount of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. They should have regular walks and be allowed to run and play in a grassy area. Exercise should be kept to 30-60 minutes a day divided into at least two sessions for the best results. During walks, the Cavalier should be allowed to stop and sniff in the interests of exploring their environment. Some training to introduce basic commands is also helpful. Practices such as agility or flyball can be good fun for both the Cavalier and their owner.
Absolutely! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are wonderful family dogs. They are bred to be gentle and loving companions, so they adapt to family life very easily and tend to be quite affectionate and loyal. They are relatively small, making them a great size for families with children. Plus, they are relatively easy to care for, as long as they get plenty of exercise. Plus, Cavaliers are intelligent and eager to please, so training them is usually quite easy. All in all, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an excellent choice for a family dog.
Training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a commitment that requires patience and consistency. Ensure that you begin training as soon as possible, while they're still young and able to learn. Introducing positive reinforcement training can be highly effective and work well with this breed. Begin by teaching them simple commands like 'sit' and 'stay'. Praise them and give rewards when they perform a command correctly. Also, restrict their environment gradually so they learn to trust your commands instead of relying on their own instincts.
