About

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a cheerful and loving companion, perfect for families, the elderly, and as a therapy dog. This affectionate breed is known for its gentle, friendly nature and balanced temperament. They are highly trainable, responding well to praise and positive reinforcement. Their calm demeanor makes them wonderful friends who enjoy spending time with their people. In terms of exercise, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires moderate activity that easily fits into daily life. A few leisurely walks a day and some playtime in the garden are enough to keep these small dogs happy. They adapt to their owner's lifestyle, enjoying both relaxing afternoons and active outdoor moments as long as they are safely leashed or in a fenced area. Cavaliers are also great playmates for children and get along well with other pets when socialized early. Their loving and easygoing nature makes them ideal family dogs, providing not only companionship but also joy and fun, whether playing, walking, or simply lounging at home.
