The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or the Cavalier Spaniel for short originated in England during the 17th century and quickly became the favorite pet of the Royal House of England. Recognized as one of the largest toy breeds and true to their heritage, these loyal and devoted pups make for the ultimate companion and lap dog.
Appearance and Grooming
It has a strong, flat back and a long and silky fur with different colors like black, grey, white, red or cream, a long tail and a small body with long and pendent ears. It has a feathered tail which is carried high and moves when it runs. Because of its long coat, brushing is recommended often to minimize shedding.
Temperament
It has a friendly, active and playful personality and it gets along with humans and other pets. It is very happy to accompany its owners at daily activities. It doesn’t bark frequently and is generally well-behaved. Despite these, it can become suspicious around strangers. Sometimes, it tends to be shy or stubborn.
Family and Companionship
These playful puppies are just as happy to be city dogs as they are to be country dogs. They have soft and gentle nature, which makes them outstanding as therapy dogs. Their sweet and affectionate personality makes them a perfect companion for anyone especially, "empty nesters," as they love to cuddle and be close to their owner. Although these dogs have a proclivity for noisy greetings, they are generally not a protective breed.
Exercise
Don’t let their toy size fool you these dogs pack a lot of energy for their small frames. A daily walk each day and some indoor active play will surely keep your puppy in peak condition.
Training and Socialization
It is loyalty and obedience allow for this breed to be easily trained. Cavalier Spaniels are a true sporting breed and are often used in sport competitions for their athleticism. They are often used in dog sports such as agility, flyball and rally. Some have even shown their prowess as hunting dogs. Food rewards and positive reinforcement help ensure that training goes smoothly. Cavaliers have a soft personality, so yelling at them is counterproductive and likely to send them into hiding. Instead, reward them every time you see them doing something that is good.
Frequently Asked Questions
The cavalier is a toy spaniel that was originally bred to warm the laps of queens of England in drafty castles and on chilly carriage rides.
Cavaliers are excellent with children, but the age of the children is an important factor in choosing a puppy. Because Cavalier puppies are so small, many breeders will not sell young puppies to families with children under the age of five. An older puppy or adult dog will be more suitable for such families. Small children should always be well supervised when around a delicate puppy.
Cavaliers require daily to weekly brushing to prevent tangles and mats and to maintain their long, silky coat.
This breed measures between 12 to 14 inches tall at the shoulders with a weight between 13 to 18 lbs.
No. Cavaliers are not known for being vocal, which does not make them a good choice for a watch dog. Like any dog they may let out a happy bark when there is a visitor or another dog passing by, but in general they are pretty laid back.
These sweet little pups are the epitome of companionship since they were initially introduced as lap dogs. They have a gentle and friendly nature making them an ideal pet for a family with children or other animals.
Cavaliers have quite a bit of energy so adequate exercise is very important. These dogs love games of chase and swimming, which are both excellent choices for exercise. They will also need 1 to 2 daily walks to keep them fit and healthy.

A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a longer muzzle than their King Charles counterparts. The King Charles Spaniel has a much flatter muzzle and they have distinctly domed heads whereas Cavaliers have much flatter heads. Cavaliers have a strong scissor bite whereas a King Charles Spaniel’s jaw is slightly undershot. Additionally, Cavaliers tend to be slight larger than their King counterparts. Their temperaments also differ- Cavaliers are a bit more outgoing where the Kings are a little more reserved.

If you’re looking for a watch dog you may want to keep searching. This sweet little pup is all about making new friends and are happy to greet anyone who comes there way.
Thanks to their lineage in sporting, the Cavalier has adopted the ability to learn and follow commands. They’re eager to please and considered easy to train.

Gunner is an awesome dog. Very lovable. Premier Pups was great to work with. Pup was ready when promised, they stayed late in order for me to pick him up. Very good follow up to see how the pup is doing. If you have never experienced a Cavalier King Charles, I highly recommend. Breed is very easy to train, very docile and lovable. My pup loves to swim as well.

Recently acquired my third Cavalier baby (Zoe) from Premier Pups and could not be more in love. Extremely happy with the whole process and the staff were always able to answer my questions. Upon recieving each of them via plane, I received several follow up calls from the staff to check on the puppy at the time and insure everything was going well. I would highly recommend Premier Pups and would be happy to give a personal reference to anyone that was interested!

Best experience ever ! The entire transaction was amazing. I found the puppy of my dreams on Thursday and the following Monday I was meeting him at the airport. Jasper is the most amazing puppy, everyone who meets him instantly falls in love with him. He is wicked smart and extremely playful but loves nothing more than to cuddle. We bonded instantly. The service from the Premier Pups team was outstanding. They checked in on Jasper repeatedly wanting to make sure he was doing ok and to make sure I didn't have any questions. I would not hesitate to go back to them for another puppy.

We couldn’t be more in love with Charlie!! We unfortunately lost our yellow lab due to bone cancer and although the void could never be filled Charlie has stolen all of our hearts! He loves sleeping under the covers at night and snores quite loudly! Which I love!! Thank you Premier Pups for such a wonderful addition to our family!!

| Breed: | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel |

I was worried that Charlie was going to come home from the flight sick and weak, since we live so far from the breeders. To my surprise I was wrong. She came home so healthy and alert. We’ve had Charlie for almost 3 months and it’s been such a great experience. I would recommend Premier Pups to anybody looking for a Furry Friend. Charlie always brightens our day.
