Background knowledge of the breed

A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a cute little dog who is friendly and accommodating to adults, children, strangers and other dogs, and certainly also to other dogs within the same breed as well. The breed is a pleasant and uncomplicated companion dog, which attaches itself to the whole family. The breed, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is also suitable for slightly older people who are still living a reasonably active lifestyle, as the breed appreciates fresh walks to such an extent. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel must have a good social life with close human contact in order to thrive optimally. The breed also needs some exercise and mentally stimulating tasks, which can challenge its intelligence. The breed is very happy to play and use its snout.

Small dwarf spaniels, like the breed, have been known for more than a thousand years. They were especially associated with the English King, Charles II, in the late 17th century and with the Marlborough family at Blenheim Castle a hundred years later. Throughout the 19th century, a short-nosed variant became increasingly popular under the name King Charles Spaniel, and the long-nosed one almost disappeared. Until an American in the 1920s awarded cash prizes to the best dogs of the old type. They had the word cavalier added to the breed name. The breed is a small dog that does not grow much larger than 33 cm with a weight of 8 kg.

The activity level of the breed

A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is very active when it is outdoors, as it loves to move around. The breed is very happy to have new positive experiences that can stimulate the dog mentally. It has retained some of the larger Spaniels' game interest. At home, it is calm and relaxed, and likes to be near its primary persons. It is contact-seeking and generally adapts to the family's activity level, and everyone in the family will easily come to love the breed.

Fur care and hygiene 

The breed's coat is long, silky and smooth. However, in some cases, it can also be slightly wavy. The fur of the breed regularly requires a thorough brushing, and the hair on the chest, legs, ears and tail should preferably be trimmed daily in order to prevent it from filtering and forming knots. It is a good idea to get the dog used to being pampered early, so that trimming and brushing becomes a cozy moment for both the owner and dog, and not a complicated affair every time.

Management of the breed

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel greatly appreciates the attention of the owner or its primary persons, and is happy to cooperate when the effort is rewarded quickly and varied with a treat or two. Hold back with the treats to avoid the dog from becoming overweight, as it quickly can cause problems with the knees.
