Meet the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pairs the looks of a toy breed with the friendly, sporty nature of a spaniel. Famously sweet and adaptable, Cavaliers are devoted companions who fit flats and country homes alike.
Temperament & personality
Cavaliers are gentle, affectionate, and eager to please — wonderful with children, strangers, and other pets. They are true companion dogs and dislike being left alone for long.
Exercise & grooming
A daily walk and play are plenty, though they enjoy more. The silky coat needs regular brushing and their floppy ears need checking. Above all, they thrive on company.
Health to watch
Prone to mitral valve heart disease and some neurological conditions — buying from a breeder who heart-tests their dogs matters greatly for this breed.
