Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles are known for being active, alert, and immensely loyal little dogs. They were bred to be the perfect lapdog, and as such make great companions. Although they are quite small in stature, they are a courageous breed and will stand up to larger canines. They don't require a lot of exercise, but they do need daily walks and some other type of mental stimulation such as puzzle toys. Grooming needs vary depending on the length and texture of the coat. Activity and grooming aside, they do best when they are able to be with their owners and family members.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) are considered to be a low-shedding breed, meaning that while they do still shed, the amount is much less than the average dog and may even go unnoticed. On average, a CKCS produces less hair than a Doberman Pinscher, Beagle, and German Shepherd. Generally, CKCS owners do not need to groom their dogs quite as frequently as other breeds, as their fur does not become matted or tangled as easily.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do have specific dietary requirements. Because they are a small breed, their portions should be smaller and their diet is best served as a weight-management formula. This type of food helps keep their joints healthy, a big issue with any small breed as they tend to gain weight quickly. Additionally, since they are prone to heart issues it is also important to provide high quality, nutrient-rich food which contains marine-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. This will help to keep their blood pressure at an optimal level.
Preparing for a new Cavalier King Charles puppy can seem overwhelming; however, the best place to start is by preparing your home and having all the necessary supplies prepared before their arrival. This should include puppy food, treats, toys, a crate, and other supplies like food and water bowls, a collar and leash, and a bed. Additionally, establishing a daily routine with their meals, walks, and playtime will be beneficial. It is also important to research and learn about their breed-specific needs and behaviors to ensure you are able to give them the most optimal care.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are generally considered small dogs. They usually weigh between 13 and 18 pounds, with males usually being slightly bigger than females. The breed is considered small to medium, often weighing between 8 and 14 pounds, with most dogs standing between 12 and 13 inches. The compact size of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel makes it perfect for an apartment or small living space, as their size allows them to exercise in smaller areas. Additionally, their tender nature makes them great companions for seniors or those with disabilities.
Yes, you can take your Cavalier King Charles running! However, it is important to keep in mind that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed that tends to tire easily. For this reason, it is generally not a good idea to take them running for prolonged periods of time. If you do wish to take your Cavalier on a run, it is important to monitor your pup for signs of exhaustion and to provide them with plenty of breaks and water. Additionally, the American Kennel Club highly recommends keeping your pup on a leash during any outdoor activity to ensure their safety.
Generally speaking, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs usually get along very well with other pets such as cats, rabbits, birds, and even other types of dogs. However, it is important to remember that each individual Cavalier is unique and may have a different disposition when it comes to getting along with other animals. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your Cavalier gets plenty of socialization with other pets from a young age to ensure proper development and a positive relationship with other animals.
The amount of time your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel needs to be trained each day will vary based on the age and individual needs of your pup. Since Cavaliers are highly intelligent and easily amused, they only need 15-20 minutes of focused attention each day to learn and maintain training. That can include activities like practice with basic commands, some playtime compliance, and obedience exercises. If your Cavalier King Charles is still a puppy, their training time can be longer, even up to an hour, but as they become acclimated to training, their sessions can decrease.
