Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a small breed of toy-like dogs that belong to the Toy Kennel Group. They have a long and distinguished history, with its ancestors being small hunting dogs that were popularized in Europe in the 16th century and eventually brought to the United States in the mid-1920s. The breed has a small head, large expressive eyes, and a silky-soft medium-length coat. It is a versatile breed, generally good with children and an ideal companion for individuals or couples, but they need plenty of attention and exercise.
Cavaliers King Charles Spaniel's are not totally non-shedding. While they are considered to have a low-shedding coat, they will still shed some amount of fur. Grooming and brushing will help reduce shedding and can also help you maintain the overall health of your canine companion's coat and skin. It is important to take good care of your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by brushing and combing their coat regularly. This can help remove loose fur, mats, dirt, and dander that may otherwise accumulate.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels typically have a hearty appetite and enjoy a variety of different foods. They typically thrive on a nutritious, complete and balanced diet of fresh, whole foods like meats and grains but should not be fed "people food" like burgers, hot dogs, etc. For their primary diet they should eat a high-quality pet food that is appropriate for their age and lifestyle. A variety of treats like raw fruits, vegetables, and certain treats made specifically for them can also be given in moderation.
Prior to bringing a Cavalier King Charles into your home, it is important to ensure your home is pet-ready. Prepare by purchasing a suitable varying-sized pet bed, crates and/or kennels, as well as a harness for walking. Buy or acquire appropriate pet toys and a pet water and food bowl. As the breed is people-oriented, set-up safe, pet-friendly spaces, such as a few pet pillows, a sturdy pet gate, and a cozy pet bed in the living room.
Cavaliers King Charles are wonderful dogs, but are not typically considered 'big dogs.' They are bred as a small breed, so they typically reach a maximum of about 13 inches tall and 18 pounds in weight, depending on their unique lineage. On average, this breed is considered to be small to medium sized. They have a muscular build and beautiful coats that make them a joy to own. While they may appear to be larger due to their long, luxurious coats, Cavaliers typically remain an average size for a small breed and should not be labelled as 'big dogs.
Yes, many Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are partial to a spot of swimming. One of the distinct features of this breed is a spaniel’s natural desire to swim, given the opportunity. Descended from water dogs, the breed loves to be near their owners, play with toys, and of course take a quick dip to cool down. Additionally, swimming is a great exercise and especially healthy for dogs of this size. Nonetheless, owners must make sure to always keep an eye on their pet, and be mindful of any health issues that could be triggered by swimming.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally very good with children. They are famously loving and affectionate, which means they are usually eager to please and to form a bond of mutual respect with kids. They also tend to have a very relaxed attitude and are quite tolerant, which makes them a great choice for households with young children. As with any breed, however, it’s important to establish boundaries with children from an early age and to teach them how to properly interact with and handle dogs in order to ensure that their relationship with the dog is positive and safe.
It depends on the specific age and activity level of your Cavalier King Charles. If your Cavalier is young, you may need to start by having them train for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. As they get older and more active, you can increase the amount of time to anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes per day. However, keep in mind that the training sessions should be broken up into shorter, more frequent sessions for example, two 30 minute sessions per day instead of one 60 minute session.
