The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a gentle, affectionate, and friendly breed known for its loving nature and strong desire to be close to its humans. They thrive with companionship and do best in homes where they are not left alone for long periods.
Cavaliers are typically good with children, other dogs, and even cats, making them excellent family pets. While they are adaptable and enjoy cuddling on the couch, they also need exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and content.
Their silky coat benefits from regular brushing, and their affectionate, eager-to-please personality means they respond well to positive reinforcement training.
Having a secure fully fence yard is vital as Cavaliers have zero road sense and are easily distracted; birds, butterflies, other animals and people, all of which can make them selectively deaf to your commands.
