| Whether you live in an apartment, or
a castle, this regal little dog will reign supreme!
Popular during the reign of King Charles II (17th
Century England), this adorable Spaniel breed was
recreated by British breeders during the 1930's and
40's and have since found their way into the hearts
and homes of dog lovers world-wide. These small,
loveable dogs are fairly low-maintenance. Cavalier
King Charles Spaniels are very intelligent little
dogs, and love children. They fit in well into most
living situations, and thrive on human attention and
companionship. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels also
get along very well with other dogs, cats and family
pets. They do require daily brushing to keep their
long, silky coats tangle-free, but are content with
one or two short walks or play periods each day.
Cavaliers are a great choice for families, singles,
elderly or disabled dog-lovers, and people who live
in the city! |

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Breed History: |
Once the favorite breed of King Charles II
of England, the small sporting spaniel was
first dubbed the King Charles Spaniel. Then
oriental breeds came into fashion and
breeders began crossbreeding the spaniels to
achieve a more snub-nosed, round-headed
look. In 1926, a wealthy American visited
England in search of the small spaniels so
often seen in portraits of King Charles. But
there were none. So he offered monetary
prizes to be awarded at the famed Crufts Dog
Show for the male and female most closely
resembling the original King Charles
Spaniel. British breeders rose to the
occasion and by 1945, the recreated breed
had arrived. To avoid confusion with the
now-snub-nosed King Charles Spaniels, the
breed was named the Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel since Charles was known as the
Cavalier King.
The Cavalier breed was developed by
selective breeding of long-snouted King
Charles Spaniels (also known as English Toy
Spaniels). The development of the Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel was partly due to a
desire to produce a long-nosed toy spaniel,
as are seen in the paintings of the great
masters. Long-snouted toy spaniels no longer
existed at the beginning of the 20th
century, due to crosses between long-snouted
toy spaniels and short-snouted breeds such
as the Pug or Japanese Chin in the 18th-19th
century.

King Charles Spaniel Breed Temperament: |
| The breed is highly affectionate,
and some have called the Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel 'the ultimate lap dog'. Gentle and
affectionate with a happy, sporting and fearless
nature, the Cavalier is known as a wonderful
companion. Indeed the breed was known as the
"Comforter" or the "Spaniel Gentle" in the early
days of its history. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
require a great deal of human companionship, and do
not do well if left alone for long periods of time.
Cavaliers, when properly trained, have wonderful
manners, and many are welcomed in the workplace. |
