Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Puppy

By Diane Perry


Nothing can make your home becoming instantly warmer and cozier as bringing a new puppy in can. Dogs are amazing, clever, loyal and unconditionally devoted, and it does not matter how big they are or which breed you personally prefer. If you come home with one Cavalier King Charles Spaniels puppy in your arms, your whole family will certainly appreciate it.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are friendly, affectionate, playful, patient and always eager to please. They make perfect companion or lap dogs for singles, but also excellent family pets. Equally friendly with family members and other pets in the household, these sweet and gentle nature little things will adapt to any space and any environment, as long as they are not left alone for longer periods of time.

The fact is, this dog is able to adapt to your lifestyle perfectly. If you are mostly at home, she will be somewhere where she can keep an eye on you, curled on her cushion, and perfectly satisfied. When you decide to take a walk, she will be more than happy to join you, and if she gets the opportunity to run around chasing birds or something, she will equally enjoy in this activity.

People often cannot see the difference between Cavalier King Charles and King Charles Spaniels. There are very few differences between these two breeds, in fact. The later are smaller, up to 12 pounds in weight, while Cavaliers are usually between ten and eighteen. When it comes to King Charles Spaniels, the skull is not so flat, and the ears are set a little bit lower.

There are four officially recognized color varieties. Blenheim is probably the most popular one. This irresistible combination of pearly white coats and warm chestnut markings is equally adorable on puppies as it's on adult doggies. So called Blenheim spot in the middle of the forehead is highly appreciated, although not obligatory.

Black and tan variety has black body with tan highlights, usually on the eyebrows, legs, cheeks and on the area beneath the tail. So called Tricolor variety comes in three colors, white, black and tan, and there is another variety called Ruby. Ruby should be uniformly chestnut, although there might be some areas, usually on their ears and slippers, where the color might be slightly lighter.

Purebreds usually have some characteristic health issues. In this case, dogs might have problems with their ears, eyes and hips. Mitral valve disease is a genetic disease Cavaliers might have as well, and buying your puppy from a reputable breeder is a chance to learn more about it, and to avoid buying the dog that is not healthy.

Cavalier doesn't require too much maintenance. One good weekly brush will take care of her lovely coat, and no trimming is required. Although, most owners usually trim their slippers anyway, simply to clean them easier. Give your dog a bath only when it is necessary, and use some mild, good quality shampoo for this purpose. Feed her twice a day, with good quality dog food.
