Cavalier King Charles Spaniel -
Purebred Dogs and Puppies

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel


Description

A member of the Toy dog group, The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

is a very happy dog that does well in either a city or country environment.

Cavaliers NEED human contact, and do not do well in kennels or alone.

They are indeed lap dogs and are always happiest in the company of their family.

Many owners call them "the ultimate lap dog".

The true purpose of this dog breed has always been that of a companion dog. Call them the perfect lap dog, if you like.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the number one toy dog in England and considered one of the largest toy dog breeds.

The Cavalier interacts well with children and is an active, graceful, well-balanced toy spaniel, very happy and free in action; fearless and sporting in character, yet at the same time gentle and affectionate.

It is this typical temperament, combined with true elegance and royal appearance which are of ultimate importance in this dog breed.

" I never married because I have three pets at home that answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog that growls every morning, a parrot that swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night. - Marie Corelli
