The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has soulful eyes, and a wonderful temperament. They were named after King Charles II, who loved the breed. Whilst these are toy dogs, they are actually quite active. They love to run around with their owner, which makes them great with kids. Combine this with their easy going temperament, friendliness, and adaptability, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel make great family dogs. They are not aggressive by nature.

The Cavalier, being so adaptable, are happy to nap with their owner, or sit inside and have quiet times. As such, they make good companions for the elderly. But they need to have a walk or a play outside every day. And being so friendly, they don’t make very good watch dogs, though they will bark when a stranger enters the property.

These dogs consider their owners as part of their pack, and as such, love human company. They are easy to care for, as their coat only needs brushing three times a week. They shouldn’t be washed too much though, as it dries their coat out.

When looking for a Cavalier, be careful not to mistake the King Charles Spaniel for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Despite the similarity in names, they are actually a different breed! The King Charles Spaniel is actually smaller than the Cavalier, and its’ nose is more pug-shaped.
