How Do You Take Care Of A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, small toy spaniels, were bred to be companion dogs for the royalty of England. Mary Queen of Scots supposedly went to her execution with her Cavalier tucked inside her royal robes. While they are sometimes used for hunting small game, the Cavalier is known for its gentle spirit and love of people. Keep Cavaliers on a collar and leash when not in an enclosed area as their hunting instincts make them want to chase just about anything. You should be able to insert two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck and a 6-foot leash will be adequate. Walk Cavaliers for about an hour daily. Walk fast enough so that the dog has to trot to stay with you. Stop for a short training break every 25 yards or so. When you stop, tell your Cavalier to “Sit.” As soon as your dog sits, say, “Let’s go,” and start walking again. Avoid aggressive dogs that are off-leash as Cavaliers, a friendly breed, see every person and animal as a potential friend. Monitor diet carefully
