Are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels good family dogs and how do they behave with children?
They are typically gentle, affectionate and patient, which makes them well suited to families. Most enjoy being close to children and will happily join in quiet play, but they are small and can be easily injured by rough handling, so supervision and teaching children to be gentle are important.
How much exercise does a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel really need each day?
Despite their lapdog image, they were originally toy spaniels and usually enjoy a moderate amount of activity. Most do well with 30 to 60 minutes of daily exercise that includes walks and some off lead play, along with mental stimulation at home.
What are the most common health problems in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels?
They have a higher than average risk of heart disease, particularly mitral valve disease, which can appear relatively early in life. Syringomyelia and other neurological issues, eye problems and ear infections are also concerns, so regular veterinary checks and careful breeder selection are essential.
What is mitral valve disease in Cavaliers and how can owners spot early signs?
Mitral valve disease is a degenerative heart condition very commonly seen in this breed that can lead to heart failure. Early signs may include a heart murmur detected at routine vet visits, reduced stamina, coughing, or breathing changes, so yearly cardiac exams are strongly recommended from a young age.
Do Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed a lot and what kind of grooming do they need?
They have a silky, medium length coat that sheds moderately throughout the year. Regular brushing several times a week helps prevent tangles and reduces loose hair, and special attention is needed for the feathering on the ears, chest, legs and tail to keep it clean and free of mats.
Are Cavaliers prone to separation anxiety and can they be left alone during the day?
They are very people focused and often prefer constant company, so they can be prone to distress if left alone for long periods on a regular basis. Many cope with a few hours alone if this is introduced gradually and combined with mental enrichment, but they are generally not a good choice for homes where no one is around most of the day.
What kind of home environment suits a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel best?
They usually adapt well to apartments or houses as long as they receive daily walks and time with their owners. Stairs and frequent jumping on and off furniture should be managed carefully because of potential joint and back issues, and a secure garden is important since many have a strong instinct to chase birds or scents.
Do Cavalier King Charles Spaniels bark a lot or are they generally quiet?
Most are relatively moderate barkers and are not typically chosen as watchdogs. They may bark to greet people or out of excitement or boredom, but with normal exercise, company and training they usually remain fairly quiet indoors.
How trainable is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and what training challenges are common?
They are usually eager to please and respond well to gentle, reward based training, which makes them fairly easy to teach basic manners. Some can be a little sensitive or distractible, particularly outdoors where scents and birds are interesting, so short, positive sessions and consistent routines work best.
What should I know about the typical size and weight of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to keep one at a healthy body condition?
Most adults weigh around 13 to 18 pounds and are small but sturdy, so extra weight can put significant strain on the heart and joints. Using portion control, limiting high calorie treats and being able to feel the ribs without a thick fat layer are key to maintaining a healthy body condition.
