Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles is a breed of toy spaniel that originated in the United Kingdom in the 17th century. In recent decades, they have become a popular breed, part of the 'toy dog' category. This breed is gentle, affectionate and intelligent. The Cavalier King Charles is a small, sturdy, active dog measuring between 12 and 13 inches tall and weighing between 13 and 18 pounds.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are not considered hypoallergenic, however they are generally considered to be quite low on the allergen spectrum. Interestingly, their low allergen content has roots in centuries of breeding for good health and low shedding, making them popular additions to many allergy-sensitive households. The breed has a single coat, which bears a wavy, silky texture and only requires minimal grooming.
Keep in mind that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are small dogs and have relatively small stomachs, so the amount of food that you feed them should reflect that. Avoid feeding them human food as it is often high in fat, sugar, and/or salt, all of which can be unhealthy for them. Avoid feeding them bones, as this can cause them to choke, and in some cases, obstruct their airways and lead to serious complications.
Preparing for a new Cavalier King Charles is an exciting experience! First, research the breed to understand their temperament, age-appropriate nutrition (including treats), and potential health issues. Create a safe and comfortable space for your pup by puppy-proofing any areas they will have access to and setting up supplies like a cozy bed, toys, food, and water bowls. Visit your veterinarian to get your Cavalier King Charles puppy up-to-date on vaccinations, and if needed, arrange for spaying/neutering.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are fairly small dogs. On average, they weigh around 18 pounds and are considered a toy dog breed, not a large one. The American Kennel Club describes the breed as having a “graceful, charming, gentle look” and not as a big dog. While taller than some small breeds, they are generally quite a bit smaller than large breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers or Greyhounds, which can weigh up to 70 pounds.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are often considered to be very active and lively dogs with an enthusiasm for life. This breed was originally bred to be an active hunting companion, so they are quite energetic. Beyond their general liveliness, Cavaliers can benefit from exercise such as walking, running, or playing fetch. They are ideal for families who want a reasonably active dog that will fit with their lifestyle. An active Cavalier will become a good family companion who will be a great source of joy.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally good with kids. They are highly sociable, obedient, and loving, making them an excellent companion for young children and families. They are low-key but have plenty of energy when the situation calls for it, giving them their "cute and adaptable" reputation. Thanks to their tiny size, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are easily adaptable to small to moderate living spaces, adding to their appeal for active families that include young children.
The amount of time that needs to be invested in training a Cavalier King Charles will depend on the individual pup. It is important to ease into a training routine and to build up the pup's knowledge of commands and obedience gradually. On average, a pup should receive between thirty and forty-five minutes of focused training each day. This should be broken up into several short sessions throughout the course of the day.
