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.
