The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a lively, elegant, well-proportioned toy dog, very gorgeous and generous. This typical aristocratic temperament is very important in this breed, which contains true nobility and royal appearance. The essence of this breed is natural and does not need to be trimmed, sculpted or artificially changed.
When the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was first mentioned, the small hound had been around for centuries. Many paintings and tapestries depicting the lives of the nobility featured this dog. In paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was often seen with children at the court. Cavalier King Charles I was very fond of this dog and named it after himself. By the time of Cavalier King Charles II, he loved this kind of dog so much that he almost neglected his government affairs. Since then, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have become famous. It was not until the decline of the Stuart royal family that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels became rare. Queen Victoria loved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels very much. She bred this breed, making the current Cavalier King Charles Spaniels very different from their ancestors. In 1928, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club was established in the UK; in 1946, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel won the certificate for the first challenge. Since then, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has become one of the most popular dog breeds in the UK.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the only dog breed in the world named after a king. This resounding name, coupled with its graceful posture and demeanor, has not only been the favorite dog of the princes and nobles of the British Empire since ancient times, but it is also often favored by performing stars and celebrities and dignitaries today. The friendly, affable, energetic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has grown rapidly in popularity over the past decade. In many ways, they are an ideal urban companion.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels prefer to lie on the sofa when the weather is bad, and are willing to walk or run for thousands of kilometers when the weather is good. The growing popularity of this breed has led to a high degree of inbreeding, resulting in a high incidence of fatal heart disease. As a serious consequence, the life expectancy of affected dogs has dropped from 14 years to 9 or 10 years. Such a high incidence of genetic diseases is worrying. Therefore, when selecting a breed, it is very important to check the medical history of their ancestors for several generations.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are gentle and energetic. As befits their delicate appearance, most Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are very eager to get the attention of their owners. If their owners are busy and have little time to accompany them, the gentle and delicate Cavalier King Charles Spaniels will easily feel lonely. Therefore, they are not suitable for people with independent personalities. At the same time, families with too much work and no time to accompany their pets are also not suitable for raising them.
