King Charles information
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a well-proportioned little
dog. The head is slightly rounded, the muzzle full, tapering a
little with a shallow stop. The nose is black. The teeth meet in
a scissors bite. The dark brown eyes are round and set well
apart with dark eye rims. The long ears are set-high with
abundant feathering.
The topline is level. The tail is sometimes docked by 1/3 but is
usually left natural. Dewclaws may be removed. The silky coat is
medium in length with feathering on the ears, chest, legs and
the tail. Colors include prince
charles (tricolor),
ruby (rich mahogany red), king charles (black and tan) and
blenheim (red and white). Blenheim dogs, a chestnut-red spot on
top of the head between the ears is preferred by breeders, but
not critical.
Temperament
The
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an eager, affectionate and
happy dog. Always seeming to be wagging their tails.
Outgoing and sportive. These fearless lively little dogs are
eager and willing to please. They are intelligent enough to
understand what you want and therefore are usually easy to train
and respond well to gentle obedience training. They are said to
be naturally well behaved and get along well with other dogs and
non-canine pets. Cavalier's love people, enjoy companionship,
and need rules to follow and limits to what they are allowed to
do. They are not suited to kennel life and should not be left
alone all day. If you do need to leave them, be sure to take
them for a pack walk before you leave to put them in a natural
rest mode. Do to their hunting background they have an instinct
to chase. Do not allow this sweet dog to developed Small Dog
Syndrome, human induced behaviours, where the dog thinks he is
pack leader to humans. This can cause a varying degree of
behaviour problems, which are not Cavalier traits, but
behaviours
brought on by the way they are being treated. They are
recommended with older considerate children, simply because most
small dogs are treated in such a way they start to believe they
rule the home. In addition to being the dog's leader, socialize
well to avoid them being reserved with strangers. The Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel is a pleasant companion dog. They have
remarkable eyes sight and sense of smell and can be used in
short hunts in open country. They do well in competitive
obedience.
Size
Height: 12-13 inches (30-33
cm.)
Weight: 10-18 pounds (5-8 kg.)
Needs
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their
exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not
fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go
on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems.
They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead,
such as a large fenced in yard.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
are good for apartment life. They are moderately active indoors
and a small yard will be sufficient. The Cavalier does not do
well in very warm conditions.
Grooming
Comb or brush with a firm
bristle brush, and bathe or dry shampoo as necessary. The hair
between the pads on the feet need to be trimmed. Prone to
tangling and matting on the ears, and should be brushed often.
Clean the inside of the ears regularly. Always make sure the dog
is thoroughly dry and warm after a bath. Check the eyes
carefully for any signs of infection. This breed is an average
shedder.
King
Charles Origins
Named for King Charles II, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is
descended from the King Charles Spaniel. In the late 1600's the
King Charles Spaniels were interbred with Pugs, which resulted
in a smaller dog with flatter noses,
upturned faces,
rounded heads and protruding
eyes. The consequence of this breeding is what we know
today as the King Charles Spaniel (English Toy Spaniel). In the
1920's an American named Roswell Eldridge, offered prize money
during a Cruft's Dog Show in London, to any person exhibiting
King Charles Spaniels with long noses. He was looking for dogs
similar to those appearing in Van Dyck's paintings of King
Charles II and his spaniels, before the Pug was bred in. He
began breeding the specimens he gathered and by the 1940's these
dogs were classified as a separate breed and were given the
prefix Cavalier, to differentiate them from their forebears. The
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was shown in the Toy Group of the
AKC beginning in 1996.
