Introducing the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Apr 27
One of the most popular type of dog in England is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. But you don’t have to live in England to get one. There are Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies for sale in Ohio and Pennsylvania that can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. Read on to learn more about what makes these dogs so popular.
Firstly, we need to point out that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (sometimes just called Cavaliers) is different from the King Charles Spaniel. They share a similar history and origins, but Cavaliers are an attempt to recreate the original long-nosed, domed-headed, small spaniel that was made popular by King Charles I & King Charles II. During the reign of William and Mary, short-nosed dogs such as the Pug had become popular and were interbred with the small spaniels creating the current King Charles Spaniel. The idea to bring back the long-nosed variety was started by American Roswell Eldridge who offered a prize at a dog show for the best male and female examples of the “old type.” Eldridge died before show, but others took up his idea and the product is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for sale in Pennsylvania are in Toy classification. Their adult size is usually about the size of an adolescent of other spaniel breeds. They stand 12-13 inches and weigh about 10-18 lbs. Cavaliers come in four color varieties: Blenheim (light brown to red spots on white), tri-colored (black and brown/red spots on white), black and tan, and solid ruby. Cavaliers have the typical long wavy haired ears of other spaniels, as well as a medium length coat, and feathering on the legs, feet, and tail. Despite having slightly long hair, they are not prone to tangling or matting.
Another striking point of the breed is their affection for humans and other animals. They tend to be very friendly, and therefore, do not make good guard dogs. On the plus side, this means they are not prone to excessive barking. Also, Cavalier puppies for sale in Ohio will likely get along with other dogs that may already live in the home or that might be acquired in the future. Being spaniels, which have been used for centuries as hunting dogs, they have a strong instinct to chase small animals and birds. While this instinct can be somewhat overcome with significant and early training, it is best that when going for a walk, they are always on a leash.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for sale in Pennsylvania will grow up to be loving, energetic, and loyal family members that are ideally suited to the life of a companion dog.
