Characteristics of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

This breed is good for a first time dog owner.  They have a sweet temperament.  They are easy to train.  And if they have a yard to run around, that would be great.

However, even if you live in a condo or apartment, they would be fine too, as long as they get their daily walk, and a few times a week, let them run so they can stretch their legs.  It is common for this dog to feel anxiety. Exercising can go a long way in relieving this.

The Cavalier King Spaniels enjoy tracking and chasing because of their hunting origin.  They are tireless when they are involved with these activities.  This is a breed who loves to please, so training is really easy.  Be gentle in your training, for they can have a timid side.

They often do very well in advanced obedience and agility.  If you have a yard, be sure it’s well fenced.  These are hunters.  If they see some small animals to chase after, they are not going to listen to you.  They’ve also been known to chase bicycles and cars. That’s why you need a really good fence.  You can read more about the specific needs of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel here.
