The Cavaliers have a personality that is dependent. If you choose to take this dog home, you should know that they like being around people and that should not be left alone for long periods of time. That is because they will become bored and in turn become destructive.

You need to know that this breed of dog will shed. Though they are not heavy on shedding, you should make sure that you have a proper vacuum cleaner to help you with the cleaning. At the same time, in case you or any member of your family has allergies then you should consider getting this breed. You should have a strong brush that will help you get rid of the excess hair that the dog might have to avoid having too much fur spreading out all over your home.

The breed is friendly in nature and this being the case, they make poor watchdog. In fact, you should not be surprised when you find your dog moving around with a stranger in your home. Thus, this is not the breed to take home if you are looking for a watchdog.

If you enjoy sports activities, you will benefit from the breed as it likes hiking, fly ball, and taking a run on the beach. Some are known to hunt. If you like, staying indoors, then you should think twice about taking this breed home.

Even if you get the right breed of dog, without finding the right breeder, then it will have been a waste of time. The demand of Cavaliers is high, and some of those doing the breeding are there to fill in the needs rather than make a dog that is of high quality. Thus, the place that you get the dog is paramount.
