Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles is a small breed of toy dog known for its friendly, loving, and gentle personality. The breed is a member of the toy group of dogs in the American Kennel Club. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels originate from the 17th century when they made popular companions of King Charles II of England. They are active, outgoing, and eager to please, making them great family pets. They have long feathered ears, large, dark, expressive eyes, a short, broad muzzle, and a well-developed muzzle.
Although all animals, including Cavalier King Charles, produce dander (dead skin cells and fur) that can cause allergic reactions in some people, the amount of dander they produce is usually not enough to trigger allergies or cause a reaction. Nevertheless, it is always recommended that those who suffer from allergies or asthma to take precautions before getting a Cavalier King Charles such as spending time around one to make sure they can tolerate it. If no allergies occur, purchasing one is a great option.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can thrive on either a commercially produced kibble or a homemade diet. When selecting a food for your Cavalier, be sure to opt for a high-quality diet that is specifically developed for your pup's breed and size. The ingredients should include real meat as the first listed item and quality sources of whole-grain carbohydrates. You may want to add canned food, fresh fruits and vegetables, or other treats as supplements.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs have a few special requirements. As they are a brachycephalic breed, small and with a short snout, they need to have their breathing monitored as they are at risk of developing breathing problems. Due to their thick, long coat, regular brushing is essential to prevent matting, preferably two times each week. They should not be over-exercised or exposed to heat or humidity as, due to their breathing issues, they can overheat quickly.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs typically reach heights between 12 inches and 13 inches and generally weigh between 13 to 18 pounds, depending on their gender. Generally speaking, Cavaliers are considered a small-breed dog when compared to other breeds. However, a Cavaliers size can be deceiving because of its full-bodied, inviting aura. Although their height is usually below 14 inches, Cavaliers are usually heavier than expected and flaunt luxurious coats of fur that can add a very impressive air of grandeur to any home.
Generally speaking, Cavalier King Charles spaniels should be walked for at least 30 minutes a day to ensure they stay physically and mentally fit. This breed of dog does have a tendency to become overweight, so the more physical activity, the better. If you have access to a dog park, the walks can be shorter as your pup can get vigorous exercise by running and playing with other dogs. Additionally, your pooch will benefit from periodic breaks throughout the day where they can explore and sniff around the area.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can be excellent companions for first-time owners, as they are small and loving with an adaptable, playful personality. These endearing dogs are also known to be easy-going and affectionate, making them ideal for a novice pet-owner. The breed is relatively low-maintenance, with a moderate exercise requirement that can be met with regular walks and play sessions. Furthermore, Cavaliers are highly sensitive and don't respond well to harsh discipline. Instead, praise and rewards, along with positive, consistent reinforcement methods, will best incentivize proper behaviors and etiquette.
Training a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires a different amount of time depending on the type of activities you're looking to do. Typically, for basic training (such as learning basic commands), 10 to 15 minutes per day of focused work is usually sufficient. For more involved behaviors, such as agility and show obedience, owners need to devote more time up to an hour per day, several days a week. On top of structured training, you should also take daily walks with your pup, either by yourself or with other family members.
