Before You Visit Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Breeders

By Douglas Allen


Many of your friends at the moment have one kind of pet or another, probably a cat or a dog. As such you may have been thinking of visiting the nearest Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeders and acquiring yourself a puppy. This may sound like a good idea at this time, but it may be best to hold off on that decision until you learn a little bit more about this breed.

This breed of dog will be a breed that will not come cheap if you are a first time buyer. Prices will range anywhere, in American dollars, of one thousand eight hundred to three and a half thousand per puppy. The price variations of course depends on its bloodline and if it is champion stock. Since it is not a cheap pet, you must definitely prepared in terms of its upkeep and such.

The dog is classified as a sporting toy dog as it has personality traits from both breeds. It is also likewise a small dog, and upon maturity for both male and females will only reach a maximum weight of around six to eight kilos, and about 11 to 13 inches in overall length.

Since this is a toy breed, it is one that craves a lot of human affection and proximity. It just has to be near someone or at least on the top of a lap of someone, it being basically a lap dog. It is highly dependent on companionship so it cannot be left alone for extended periods or it will become anxious. This separation anxiety will make it stressed and it will chew things to destruction.

As for its sporting side, it is a very rambunctious or rather active canine. It has a knack for loving to chase things, anything from other small animals and even insects. When it does so, it will ignore everything near or around it, particularly its surroundings even if its dangerous. Thus it is best advised it be kept fenced in or at least leashed to prevent it from getting hurt.

The breed has fine and long fur that is quite prone to matting. Due to this it will need to be regularly brushed, once a week at the minimum at least. The fur has to be trimmed regularly also especially around the anal and hind areas, which can be prone to infection. Also one should not mistake the fur to be hypoallergenic as it is not.

These dogs, although quite playful a majority of the time, are quite easy to train. This is because they always respond positively to praise. Being able to get along with anyone due to their overall affectionate temperament, they are most of the time described as polite in a majority of occasions that they are in.

They are also a breed that will come with its share of medical concerns. These will include hernia and heart complications as well as eye and joint conditions. These of course will increase in frequency as the dog progresses on in age.
