There's many reasons why you should choose a Cavalier. They're affectionate, intelligent, loving, and playful. They want to please their owner and are completely devoted to them.
It's not just a lap dog, they are also sporty and fearless.
It's a non aggressive breed and very friendly with people and other dogs, but, aside from people it would rather have the company of another Cavalier.
I have never met a mean or aggressive Cavalier in my life, nor have I heard any stories about one.
They're good with people of all ages. They can be a family pet, a therapy dog, a pet for an elderly person, or a companion for a one person. The Cavalier doesn't care as long as it's with the owner they love so dearly. They crave company, if you are away from home for long periods of time, say six to eight hours a day on a regular basis leaving your Cavalier alone, it's recommended to have another Cavalier to keep it company. The Cavalier is very adaptable to their environment.
Though small the Cavalier is no "Foo Foo dog" as my dad called it. It's not as delicate as you would think. They are a tough breed. On the outside they're Kings and Queens, but on the inside they're mighty warriors. It's the largest of the toy breeds.
Average Height: 12-13 inches from the shoulders.
Average Weight: 12-18 pounds.
The Cavalier is a very special breed. The more time you spend with a Cavalier the more you fall in love with this breed. From the little fluff ball pup to the old dog resting by your side you will always love the Cavalier!
Grooming:
Brush at least 2-3 times a week. More often when shedding. Bathe and clip nails at least once a month.
Training:
Because of their intelligence they are very easy to train.
Environment:
It doesn't need much space, but does need exercise. If it's confined in a small area it's highly recommended to take it on a daily walk. The Cavalier can't handle extreme heat for very long because of it thick coat. So make the walks in Summer short.
The Cavalier can be traced backed all the way to the 16th century. They were highly favored by the royals and nobles of that time. Even Queen Victoria had a Tri Color Cavalier named Dash. It was King Charles II who helped distinguished the Cavalier from other breeds.
The Cavalier started appearing in the U.S.A. in the 1940s. It wasn't until 1996 that AKC gave the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel full recognition
