Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are renowned for their intelligence, loyalty, and family-friendly nature. They are relatively unfazed by strangers and other animals, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a friendly, gentle companion. On average, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels usually reach between 12-13 inches in height and live between 12-14 years with proper care and nutrition. They're also low-maintenance in grooming, needing just occasional brushing to keep their silky, elegant coats looking neat and attractive.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a silky, flowing coat that is relatively easy to maintain. Its coat colour is typically solid throughout with some areas being lighter or even white. Generally, its coat is composed of a long, wavy outer coat, with a dense, soft undercoat. The coat of this breed tends to be thicker during the winter months. A healthy and balanced diet is necessary to help keep its coat looking shiny and silky. Brushing the fur regularly with a soft brush or a dog comb can also help keep its coat in its best condition.
When deciding what to feed a Cavalier King Charles, it is important to know the best choices to ensure the health of your pet. A good rule-of-thumb is never to feed them chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic or dairy products since these can cause digestive problems and be potentially harmful. In addition, avoid giving them artificial sweetener, junk food, coffee or tea, as these can be toxic to the dog. Raw meat and eggs can cause digestive issues, and moldy or spoiled food can cause weakness and reduced vitality in the animal.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel owners should be aware that this breed has special requirements, such as proper nutrition, exercise, and grooming. Depending on the age and any particular health issues, the vet may have specific advice on diet and exercise. The coat of the Cavalier King Charles should be brushed with a bristle brush twice a week and trimmed every eight weeks. Teeth should be brushed at least once a week, and the nails should be trimmed every two weeks.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels vary in size, which can make it difficult to define them as “big dogs”. On average, these dogs weigh between 10 and 20 pounds, which places them in the “toy” dog category. A fully-grown Cavalier King Charles can stand around 12-13 inches tall and can typically fit in the palm of your hand. However, they have long, silky hair and a sturdy body, making them look larger than they actually are.
Generally speaking, the amount of exercise a Cavalier King Charles needs to stay healthy will depend upon the age, health, and energy level of the dog. However, an average recommendation is to walk your Cavalier King Charles for 30-45 minutes a day. If your particular pup is younger or more active, then more time can be beneficial. Ideally, you should also have playtime with your dog for at least 15 minutes a day. The exercise should provide both mental and physical stimulation. Mixing up the activity can provide fun and variation for your dog and encourage stronger bonding between you.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels typically have a good temperament and get along well with children. They're naturally gentle and loving by instinct, so they often enjoy playing with kids. In addition, they can be quite patient and tolerant of kids so their interactions tend to be quite positive. In fact, with the right upbringing and socialization, Cavaliers can be extremely loyal companions for children of all ages. While some children may find the breed a bit too much to handle, for the most part Cavaliers make great playmates for kids and they will provide your family with unconditional love and companionship.
Training a Cavalier King Charles requires patience and consistency. Begin with short, frequent and fun training sessions. Start with basic commands like sit, stay, and come and use plenty of positive reinforcement, like treats, to reward good behavior. Once your Cavalier King Charles has mastered the basics, you can move on to more advanced commands like ‘speak’, ‘down’ and ‘heel’. Make sure to end each session on a high note, with your pup successfully completing a few commands.
