About
Cavaliers
One
of the oldest of the toy spaniel breeds, Cavalier King Charles
dogs have made a real comeback since 1928 when the breed
was resurrected from almost total extinction. Cavaliers
are noted for their mellow, affectionate, and very loving
dispositions. They are happy, fearless spaniels which enjoy
playing with children as well as warming the lap of an adult.
This quiet companion dog has avoided over breeding by inexperienced
breeders which in other breeds has produced yappy, snippy
dogs. They are usually twelve to thirteen inches tall, and
weigh thirteen to eighteen pounds. Characterized by long
flowing ears, and large soft eyes, Cavaliers come in four
colors: Blenheim (pronounced blenum; chestnut red
and white), Tri-Color (black and white with tan points),
Ruby (all red), and Black & Tan. The expression
in their sweet faces and their penetrating eyes can not
be described by mere words.

Puppies and Cavalier Dogs as Part of the Family
· Are They Good With Kids?
The
Cavalier is excellent with children. Their tendency to interact
with their owners makes them an especially close friend
and confidant for a child. They enjoy playtime and activity.
Children, of course, need supervision to be certain that
the child does not hurt the dog.
·
Are They Good With Seniors?
Retirees, or "empty nesters," find the companionship,
temperament, small size and easy maintenance ideal. More
than one woman has mentioned that a Cavalier resting on
her lap or in the crook of her arm is almost as peaceful
as holding a (human) sleeping infant. More than one active
senior with a Cavalier has experienced the receipt of two
invitations for a Cocktail Party/Get Together-one addressed
to the Senior and one to the Cavalier. The
Cavalier has been the companion of choice to high stress
people for 400 years. Every crowned head of England had
one as a companion as a child, as did many in the Dutch
court.
