About the Breed

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a very adaptable breed. They are great as a companion for an elder or a family with kids. They are playful, gentle, patient, and very affectionate. The four different colors that are recognized is Blenheim, Black and Tan, Ruby, and Tri-color. Cavaliers tend to become very attached to their owners and tend to follow you around everywhere you go. They are very smart and easily trained. They respond to praise and affection. 

Cavaliers do require routine brushings and it should be introduced at a young age. They are a double coated breed so shaving is not ideal due to their coat being a protection against hot and cold temperatures. Their ears are long and curly which tends to get matted if not brushed regularly. Also having long ears means maintaining regular cleaning, to avoid infections, is a must, but not difficult. Also, their oral health can influence their long term health so regular brushing is crucial and starting young is very beneficial.
