Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a member of the toy group of dogs. This breed is small and gentle, with a long, silky coat and soulful eyes that make the dog quite beautiful. Its friendly nature and eagerness to please make them desirable family pets and companions. Cavaliers are also highly intelligent and highly trainable, making them an ideal choice for obedience competitions. Beyond the show ring, the breed can also go to therapy dog classes as well as tracking and agility classes.
Many people ask whether Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are hypoallergenic dogs. The truth is that all dogs, no matter the breed, have the same dander proteins that trigger allergies in humans. Some dogs, however, produce less dander than others, and some do not shed as much as others. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, for example, are not typically as prone to shedding as some other breeds and they produce less dander than those that do. Therefore, while they are not completely hypoallergenic, they may be a better option for those with allergies.
It is important to avoid feeding Cavalier King Charles any food that could potentially cause harm. Specifically, these dogs should noty eat any type of chocolate, which can be toxic to them, as well as anything with caffeine. Raw or undercooked eggs, onion, and garlic can be deadly to canines, so it is a good idea to avoid feeding them to Cavaliers as well. Additionally, since they are small dogs with a delicate digestive system, table scraps and other fatty human foods should be avoided.
Preparing your home for your new Cavalier King Charles should not be taken lightly. Ensure you puppy-proof your house by hiding or blocking off any sharp or hazardous items, removing any plants potentially hazardous to your new pup, and thoroughly cleaning any areas where your pup will be playing or roaming. Obtaining the necessary items for your pup such as food, bedding, toys, a crate or pen, leashes and collars, and cleaning supplies should be done in advance so you can provide your pup with a safe, comfortable space when they arrive.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are considered a medium-sized dog, although they are sometimes referred to as a large toy dog breed. Generally, they range in weight from 13-18 pounds and stand 12-13 inches tall, but care should be taken to ensure good nutrition and exercise when trying to determine ultimate size. Some individuals could potentially be larger, whereas others may remain small. Generally speaking, Cavaliers fall more into the medium size category.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are active dogs that need a moderate amount of daily exercise to stay physically fit and mentally stimulated. Depending on their age, it's recommended that they get a minimum of 30 minutes of activity per day, which can range from walking, playing in the yard, or, even, playing fetch. To help keep your pup healthy, you should be sure to take them for regular, vigorous walks, as well as provide ample opportunity for interactive play.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are excellent with children due to their friendly, loyal, and gentle temperaments. They are known to be very affectionate and eager-to-please in the home, making for a wonderful companion to young kids. They typically get along well with other household pets, and their small size often makes them an ideal choice for first-time dog owners and families with children. With their frequent need for exercise, they also make for great playmates, and are exceptionally cheerful and intelligent, furthering their appeal for parents looking for the perfect family dog.
Training a Cavalier King Charles should begin as early as possible and can be done with positive reinforcement. To begin, start by attaching a leash to your dog and taking them on a walk. This should be a calming exercise for them and introduce them to being on a leash. From here, slowly introduce simple commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' with treats to incentivize them. As they progress more advanced commands can be taught and practice should be done in several locations for more accurate and reliable results.
