Summary
About Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Small, gentle spaniel (5.4–8 kg) with a silky medium coat in Blenheim, Tricolour, Black and Tan, or Ruby. Affectionate, people oriented, and good with children and other pets. Needs regular grooming, moderate exercise, and dislikes long periods alone.
About Shikoku
The Shikoku is an ancient Japanese medium‑sized hunting spitz from Shikoku Island, bred for boar in steep mountains. Athletic, loyal, and reserved with strangers, it has a dense sesame double coat, strong prey drive, and needs experienced, active owners and regular mental and physical work.
