Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting things about Cavalier King Charles is their remarkable loyalty. Their devotion to their owners is legendary, and these gentle little pups have been known to stay by their owners’ side no matter what life throws their way. They make excellent companions and thrive with regular human interaction. Cavalier King Charles are also unique in that they exhibit much less separation anxiety than most breeds. Additionally, they are inquisitive and enjoy a challenge. For instance, they often figure out how to open latches, open drawers, and get into all sorts of mischief in the home.
Managing allergies with Cavalier King Charles Cavaliers usually comes down to choosing a hypoallergenic breed. However, if you have already chosen the Cavalier King Charles then, unfortunately, there is little you can do. Having said that, regular grooming and cleaning help to reduce the amount of allergens present in the home. Bathing your pet with a mild shampoo and then brushing their coat with a fine toothed comb can help reduce their dander. Vacuuming your home and furnishings often will help to maintain an allergen-free environment too.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs should not be fed fatty foods such as pork and beef, as these can lead to problems with their digestive systems. Other human foods to avoid giving your Cavalier King Charles are chocolate, grapes, macadamia nuts, onions, garlic, mushrooms, coffee grounds, and alcohol. Artificial sweeteners like Xylitol are also very dangerous for Cavaliers and can cause severe seizures, hypoglycemia, liver failure, and death.
Before getting a Cavalier King Charles, it's important to make sure you have all the essential supplies. A list of these basics includes items like a collar and harness, food and food dish, toys, potty training materials such as puppy pads, a crate, grooming supplies like brushes and shampoos, treats, and a bed. Beyond these essentials, you'll also need to have a brush for post-shedding, nail clippers, a leash, and a reliable veterinarian.
Depending on the age and breeder, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKC) can range in size from somewhere around 10 inches to 12 inches tall, and about 12-18 pounds. Therefore, they technically fall into the toy dog size range, making them categorized as a 'small. dog'. However, they do not fit the definition of 'toy' in regards to being fragile or delicate. On the contrary, CKC's have a reputation for outgoing, friendly and affectionate personalities, making them an ideal companion for all kinds of families.
Cavaliers King Charles need daily exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy. Depending on their age, health, and physical activity level, they should be walked for at least 30 minutes to one hour a day. Additionally, it's important to provide interactive play, such as fetch and tug, which can help to satisfy their drive to hunt and engage in activities that can help to maintain their physical and mental agility as well. It's also a great way to build a bond with your pup and help create a lasting relationship.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are definitely a good choice for first-time owners. Providing that you have the time and patience to dedicate to them, Cavaliers are a very attentive, loyal, and loving breed. They tend to be sociable with strangers, obediant with their owners, and of course, great companions. As with any animal, researching their specific needs, such as what kind of food is required, proper exercise, and overall care is important when bringing a Cavalier home.
Training a Cavalier King Charles can vary in difficulty depending on the age and experience of the dog. Like any dog, Cavaliers need consistent and patient training and reinforcement of desirable behaviors. It's important to ensure that the puppy is socialized at an early age so it can develop confidence and resilience. Teaching basic commands is relatively easy, but you may need to give your pup more patience and time for housebreaking and longer obedience sessions. Training a Cavalier King Charles requires commitment and consistency, but with the right positive reinforcement tools, they can become loyal and obedient.
