Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a lovable, sweet-natured breed of dog with a winning personality. Though closely related to the English Toy Spaniel, the Cavalier King Charles is easily distinguished by their characteristic markings. Besides being a popular breed of companion dog, Cavaliers have also made appearances in the movies such as "Harry Potter", "Peggy Sue Got Married" and "Click". As for fun facts, some believe that Cavaliers are the only breed of dog that can whistle, due to their flat, long noses.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are considered to be low-shedders, definitely not in the same category as some breeds like poodles that don't shed at all. They do not shed so much as to require constant grooming and brushing. However, like all dog breeds, their fur does shed but generally speaking it's much less than other breeds. They tend to need a thorough brushing every few days to keep their coats looking their best.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's (CKC's) typically require the same diet as any other breed of dog. Proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping them healthy. They do have a few specific dietary needs that should be considered when selecting a diet plan for your CKC. These needs include low calcium and phosphorus levels, avoiding foods with a high fat content, and maintaining an appropriate balance of essential fatty acids. Furthermore, CKC's have a short digestive tract which means their food should be highly digestible as well as nutrient-dense.
Preparing for a new Cavalier King Charles is an exciting journey. First and foremost, make sure your home is safe and your furniture is puppy-proofed. Get ready for your new furry family member by purchasing essential items such as food bowls, a crate, a couple of toys, and a collar. Next, make sure your house is cleaned and clutter-free so your pup can navigate with ease. Introduce your pup to your home and family carefully, allowing them to explore their new environment at their own pace.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs are generally considered to be small or toy-sized breed dogs. They typically weigh within the 13-18 pound range, and stand around 12-13 inches tall at the shoulder. These small but regal looking pooches are known for their majestic expression, silky-smooth coat and undying loyalty to their owners. Although they have a small stature, they have large personalities and are very personable so don't let their size fool you!
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels require about an hour of exercise daily. This should consist of a brisk walk, a play session, and a short training session. It's important to maintain your Cavalier's physical and mental stimulation. Doing so will help prevent the onset of boredom, restlessness, and other behavioral issues which can result from inadequate activity and exercise. It's also important to provide a safe and secure area for exercise and play, free from potential danger or hazards.
Generally speaking, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels get along with all kinds of people, including children of all ages. They make an excellent family pet as they love companionship and can thrive in a family setting due to their gentle nature and friendly personality. While they enjoy playing and exploring their environment, they tend to be quieter and more laid-back than other breeds of dogs. The key with any companion pet is socialization and proper training at an early age. This will go a long way in ensuring good behavior, no matter how young or old, your children are.
The amount of time needed to train a Cavalier King Charles will vary depending on the level of training your pet will require, however a minimum of twenty minutes per day is recommended. The level of training for your Cavalier King Charles can be tailored to your pet's individual needs and can include activities such as basic obedience commands, potty training, and socialization. If you are looking to further develop your Cavalier King Charles' skills, then you may need to set aside more time per day for additional training.
