Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles spaniels are known for their loyalty, affection, and outgoing personalities. Originating in the United Kingdom, these small, spaniel-type dogs boast lovely, silky coats that often come in shades of chestnut and white. With their beautiful facial features and unique silhouette, Cavalier King Charles spaniels make popular and loving family pets. Despite their compact size, these dogs have a fairly high energy level, so it's important to provide them with plenty of exercise. Socialization and frequent training are also essential in order to keep Cavaliers obedient and prevent any unwanted behaviors.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel coat is luxurious and silky, with feathering around the legs, chest, and tail. It typically falls in a straight line or slightly wavy, and comes in several colors like Blenheim (chestnut and white), Tri-color (black, white, tan), Ruby (solid red), and Black & Tan. The amount of shedding can vary from dog to dog, but regular maintenance is still important in the form of brushing and other activities.
Cavalier King Charles love variety in their diet, so a high-quality diet that includes dry kibble, wet food, and fresh ingredients that are rich in vitamins and minerals is ideal. Start with feeding your pup two meals a day, split into roughly equal parts. Supplementing their meals with fresh fruits and vegetables, like carrots, spinach, and apples, can also provide them with a healthy snack. Just keep in mind that Cavalier King Charles dogs have a tendency to gain weight, so it is important to monitor their consumption and adjust amounts as needed.
Before the arrival of your new Cavalier King Charles, take some time to prepare your home. Consider puppy-proofing any areas in your home that the pup may have access to, such as baby-proofing any sockets and covering furniture with washable covers. Invest in some toys and supplies such as a dog bed, treats, chew toys, and a collar or harness. Nail clipping and deworming should be done prior to bringing your pet home, and a crate and litter box or outdoor potty area should be setup to help your pup become accustomed to their new environment.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a mid-sized breed of dog, although some individuals may be slighty larger than the accepted standards, making them appear 'bigger' than other members of the breed. Generally they range from 12 to 13 inches tall at the withers and weigh between 13 and 18 pounds. Since they can be smaller in stature than other larger spaniel breeds, such as the Irish Water Spaniel or Springer Spaniel, they are not typically classified as 'big dogs' by breed standards.
Absolutely! If you plan to take your Cavalier King Charles running, there are some things to keep in mind. First and foremost, make sure your pet is healthy and physically able to handle exercise. It is important to have a talk with your vet about your dog’s activity requirements. Make sure you carry plenty of water and always take breaks to hydrate your dog. Also, if it is hot outside, watch your pup for signs of heat exhaustion and take extra care in providing adequate shade and ventilation.
Generally yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can get along with other pets when properly socialized. Socialization is key to helping your pup develop a good relationship with other animals, even if it is a bit more challenging than getting them to get along with other humans. Ideally, start socializing your CAV early in its life by introducing them to other pets in a safe and calm setting. This can establish a level of comfort and respect that will allow your pup to learn how to interact with other animals.
Training a Cavalier King Charles is possible with patience and consistency, but it does take work. Generally, Cavaliers are intelligent and eager to please making them more responsive to training. To begin, it's important to establish yourself as the alpha and continue to set expectations and boundaries in a positive and consistent way. Focus on training commands such as sit, stay, and come, and reward good behaviors with praise and treats. To ensure the best results, it's recommended to enroll in an obedience class to receive guidance from an experienced instructor.
