Listened to this video while I was out running errands, and it actually made me a little bit emotional thinking about my own cavalier at home, Frodo. 😂 I miss him after just a few hours! Best breed.
We begin bright and early with hide-and-seek, followed by a 20 minute belly rub, and a morning treat. Several play sessions and cuddle sessions throughout the day. Our little girl does outside with us in the afternoon for a bit of yard work, but doesn't stay long, favoring an afternoon relax on the couch. She's always listening out for us, though, and enjoys when we return. In the evening, she enjoys about 20 minutes of "funny dog" videos on UA-cam. Then one more play session (usually chasing the laser light) and a full brushing. Cavaliers are very demanding, but their companion(s) are rewarded with a beautiful, sweet, and affectionate pup that is great around people and other dogs alike. DO NOT leave them for long, however. Separation anxiety is very real with these pups, and they absolutely should not be left along during a full work day away from home. They are best with those who can stay at home and give them the attention and care they need.
This is absolutely a guard dog, not taking up a fight I will suppose, but is very alert and does what a guard dog should do, informing us about what is going on on our property, and beyond! A haunting dog with good sights, smell and and hearing, and a very good family and sporting dog! Loves to go for walks for hours and hours!
We were long time Standard Poodle people (with some other dogs along the way too) --just lost our 6th, 14 YO Molly--but 7 years ago or so we were introduced to Cavaliers and after a lot of research and help we found the right tri girl, 4.5 months Gemma who now has our total attention and is 6 YO--but we are looking for a second, hopefully within the year. Gemma is almost perfect--loves to travel, loves everyone, has a puckish personality, quiet, beautiful. I have always groomed my own dogs and Gemma is very good about participating (but not necessarily enthusiastically)--just a fun, loving dog that has her own unique Spaniel traits, enjoys 'her people' and life--and is a wonderful companion--she just adapts to whatever we do and other Cav people tell me theirs are the same--all the ones I've met are just lovely dogs.
I had one of mine live to 16. I owe it to taking care of his teeth. At 16 I had to have him euthanized he was deaf, and his eyesight wasn't good also weak hips. It was all manageable but one day he just couldn't get up and refused to eat. The vet said we could try somethings to bring him back but it wouldn't have been for long so I had to let him go. I still miss him still, wonderful companion, wonderful breed.
My cavalier will walk for as long as I can go. She went a little over 30 miles last week. Their endurance is unbelievable. Though she is just as happy to sleep and lounge around all day.
@@carolinemccoy4663 I’m so sorry for your loss. Before I got Ivy, I had Abby, she lived to be 14 and then she crossed the rainbow bridge! I tend to think they will be waiting for us. We are so unworthy of there love!
It's kinda sad how many people pick this breed to be couch potato lap dogs. I had Cav for 14 years, and we did 40min walks 4-5 times a day, until the day he died. I also allowed him to express himslef, which sometimes lead up to pretty hilarious moments. But when ever I was sad, sick or tired, he was always there for me.
This is so true! My little cavie will play fetch for hours and hours. I rarely ever hear a peep out of her let alone a bark, just the occasional snort lol
Mine is loud he is the most talkative dog ever he doesn’t bark necessarily but he does awroooo when he is excited and will grunt a little when he is content but he is the sweetest dog ever and he loved to play fetch and go on walks
My cavalier walks off lead at the park but always chooses to follow behind me rather than exploring the park and socialising with the other dogs. If I sit down he will basically only explore the bench I’m sitting on lol. Also as a puppy he interacted with the other dogs at the park but nowadays he rarely walks up to another dog first. Any ideas how to get him to socialise better and maybe even feel comfortable walking exploring the grass at the park while I sit down?
We have a video on one of our other channels looking at how to socialise your puppy that I hope will have some helpful tips: ua-cam.com/video/EIIkEZYXqRo/v-deo.html
We’ve had Cavaliers since 1977 amazing little dogs all lived into double figures , be sure to go to a reputable breeder look at the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club UK for a breeders list Gorgeous dogs
My amazing facts: 1) They love to eat toilet paper. 2) They love to lick your face off. 3) They pick and choose the top dog to follow around the house. 4) They have reverse sneezes. 5) They can be incredible watch dogs.
they are wonderful dogs. my parents have one and she is the biggest baby in the world. my mother hand feeds her. she couldn't hurt a fly and is great around other dogs and childredn
We've had 3 in total and are fortunate that one is still with us, considering their health issues. They've always been quiet dogs, but ever since having kids our Cavvie has become very protective and will bark at anyone who approaches the house. I may be wrong, but I always thought that King Charles introduced a law stating CKCS are allowed to be taken into public houses in England.
I've had Cavaliers for 13 years and yes, they are prone to ear infections. However, I have found that regular (weekly) cleaning of the ears goes a long way towards preventing the problem. I also am careful to put cotton in their ears when bathing. Oh! warm up the solution slightly and your dog won't mind the cleaning as much! Good luck!
@@dollyn1610 I would agree. Having had Standard Poodles for many many years (6 of them) I treat my Cav's ears the same--regular cleaning, and have not had an infection yet.
hi, i wanna know some things about cavaliers. Can they stay alone 4 hours ? Do they bark a lot(i live in a apartament so it would be bad)? Do they sheed A LOT? And if you know a dog breed that can be alone for 4 hours or more,doesent bark and doesent sheed much..can you tell me ? hope your good and safe.
Their ability to be alone for periods of time depends on their training, but if you don't train them to get used to being alone they do tend to develop seperation anxiety. They definitely shed...quite an amount but then again not as much as my previous dog(husky). They're usually not barkers unless they feel something is wrong.
Not true. There are SOME Cavaliers that have the Chiari-Like Malformation (CM) & Syringomyelia (SM). But these conditions can be screened for just as you screen for MVD. Only adopt your Cavaliers from breeders who participate in the appropriate breeding protocols. And ask to SEE the proof. With proper diligence, the breed can move forward.
@@tylerm7300 Yeah. there is no such thing as "genetic dispositions" I believe you are referring to "genetic predisposition". You really need to do some "basic" research before trying to tell anyone anything.

They are a brilliant breed of dog!

Not really good sport dogs. I want a dog I can wrestle and tug with. Not a rat with overgrown fur.
Your assessment is a 100% spot on. Couldn't fault what you've said/analyzed. I have an 11-Month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Well done sir

Cavaliers ......... once they have you hooked yer round their little paws .THERE IS NO GOING BACK !
I have 2 spaniels; a Cavalier and an English Springer. Great dogs!

I love my Cavalier
Thank you for this channel i really want a cavalier king charles. So i try to learn as mutch as posible before gjetting one. 😊

Thanks for watching, it sounds like you've got a dream dog!
Who else is watching this with your cav on your lap? 😂
@Titan Angel That cav just died 😖

Just got my first Cav. We also have 2 Aussies. Love my new little guy. My “old lady dog.”
I would never have another breed! KCC’s are the best! My Ivy is 5 and wouldn’t trade her for anything! Perfect dogs!
I had a cavalier king Charles she was amazing she died last year at 13 heartbreaking she was the best dog I have ever had miss her so much x
@@carolinemccoy4663 I’m so sorry for your loss. Before I got Ivy, I had Abby, she lived to be 14 and then she crossed the rainbow bridge! I tend to think they will be waiting for us. We are so unworthy of there love!
@@carolinemccoy4663 They are so sweet! I miss my cavalier, Sir Reggie, also.
Thanks for making this informative and interesting video

They are honestly happy to lay on the couch or be active. Just so long as they are with you.
So agree with you! My Tri and I usually get 15-20 miles a week. I also let her be off leash on trails - she’s great and has excellent recall.
Excellent !!!! Many thanks
Thank you! So helpful👍🏻🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
Cavaliers love to play fetch. And they're quiet.

Mine is so loud

Haha this so so adorable. I hand feed my little cavalier as well. The sweetest dog ever.
I love mine to death my New Years resolution is to spend more time with him

The Cavalier at 1:39 must be the parent of my little boy Dobby. They are twins.
i like cavaliers
Can we get kind Charles in mumbai?

I so badly want this breed, but I’m so scared of health risks!
By from a reputable breeder. They MUST screen parents as part of an overall breeding protocol. Google it and do your research.
I am so blessed to be owned by a Caviler King Charles spaniel.
My cavalier has ear infections often and always seems to have earwax buildup. I have to use prescribed drops often.
Yes, an unfortunate side effect of those wonderful big ears!

my dog Ben is a king charles
I AM ON MY 4TH CAV NOW EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO IS CORRECT.
i have a cavachon, do these rules also apply?
No. You have a mixed breed dog.
my cavalier looks like king charles
Mine just fell asleep.
How much do these puppies cost?
Me
The fact I can't keep out of my head is that these dog's brains don't fit in their misshapen skulls and they live in constant pain. It's so sad!

@@CavalierConfessional proper breeders don't stop genetic dispositions. The breed is inherently unhealthy. It's skeletal system is fucked
@@tylerm7300 Yeah. there is no such thing as "genetic dispositions" I believe you are referring to "genetic predisposition". You really need to do some "basic" research before trying to tell anyone anything.
@@CavalierConfessional predisposition is what I meant to say. No need to be a bitch about it
That has been resolved in the US. The big brain problem occurred in the UK.
Dog😂😮
We have our 6th Cavvie best breed ever. Charlie, Quindo, Romeo, Charlie again, Rommie, and a rescue Charlie again.
