Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Announcing a new addition to the world!
An extremely close friend of ours just got the cutest cavalier named Hannah, so we thought it would be appropriate to discuss these royal pups!

You may recognize this dog as Elizabeth Taylor, Charlotte's dog from "Sex and the City." Cavaliers are extremely sweet dogs and they actually get their name from King Charles II of Britain! These silky coated dogs come in four colors, as noted on the AKC website: Blenheim (chestnut and white), Tricolor (black, white, and tan), Ruby (solid red) and Black and Tan. Blenheim is the most popular color. Cavaliers are usually between 13 and 18lbs which puts them in the Toy group category. But don't let their petite size fool you, these guys have big hearts and are similar to the gentle giant personality because they are calm and kind companions, never yappy!

The AKC recognizes the breed as being, "Gay, friendly, non-aggressive with no tendency towards nervousness or shyness. Bad temper, shyness, and meanness are not to be tolerated and are to be severely penalized as to effectively remove the specimen from competition."

Cavaliers are perfect dogs for apartment living but they do love a daily walk in the park. These dogs could thrive with any person, even pets, all they need is a warm and loving home and a good lap to sleep in...Don't forget lots of food because these guys are chow hounds!
