Having a dog is a blessing. Cuddling, friendly and immensely loyal, every dog makes this world a better place, and every home becomes a little bit warmer and happier with such a beautiful and devoted furry family member. If you bring one Cavalier King Charles Spaniels puppy in your home, your world will be changed for better, and you will get a friend for life.

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.

There are no many differences between this particular breed and the one called King Charles Spaniel. The later is smaller, with domed skull and shorter muzzle length, while Cavaliers have flat skull and the weight is 10 to 18 pounds in average. Both breeds are equally affectionate, friendly and beautiful, as well as highly popular, and they both make perfect pets.

Cavaliers come in four recognized colors. Blenheim has pearly white coat with chestnut markings. Some may have the Blenheim spot as well. This is actually a chestnut spot in the middle of the forehead, and not all puppies have it. Rich chestnut markings are usually highly appreciated. When it comes to this famous spot, some call it the Duchess thumb print.

Another variety is called simply Black and Tan. The coat is black, with tan areas placed mostly on their eyebrows, cheeks and legs, as well as on the area just beneath their tails. Tricolor has the combination of black, tan and white, while the fourth variation, so called Ruby, has uniform chestnut color, and it is not so rare that this color is slightly lighter on their slippers or maybe on their ears.

When it comes to purebreds, there are always some characteristic health issues. For Cavaliers, ears, hips and eyes are especially vulnerable. Some dogs might get specific genetic disease called mitral valve disease. If you buy your dog from a reputable breeder, you will get a health clearance as well, but you should still try to find a really good vet.

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.
