Cavalier King Charles Description

A miniature spaniel, active and graceful and in perfect balance, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel stands 12 to 13 inches and weights 12 to 18 pounds.  The skull between the ears is almost flat and the stop shallow.  The eyes are large and dark, set well apart, but not prominent; the ears are long, set high and well feathered.  Neck is moderately long with a slight arch; chest moderate; shoulders well laid back; legs straight and moderately boned.  The tail balances with body length and is carried happily, but not above the back.  The coat is long and silky, generously feathered, never curly - slightly wavy is permissible.  Traditionally the Cavalier comes in four colors: black and tan, solid red (ruby), red and white (Blenheim); and tricolor.

Most Cavalier owners are addicted to these beautiful dogs and want to own two or three at a time.  They are small, clean and gracious.  Cavalier King Charles Spaniels also enjoy being spoiled and enjoy the fat life with royal elegance.  Sleeping on the master's bed and drinking from the mistress's glass are common place in Cavalier homes.  They are both active and affectionate, among the waggiest wags to come from Britain where they are hailed as a top breed in popularity.  Perfect apartment dogs, they are well behaved indoors and can be paper-trained with ease.
