    Good Points: Very loving, always at your side with a wagging tail, a wonderful little dog. Loves to be on your knee getting a cuddle.


    Bad Points: Do tend to get a bit stinky at times but nothing that a good groom and a bath won't sort out. Eyes can get a bit runny but again regular cleaning soon sorts this out. They just need a bit of TLC on a regular basis!


    General comments: At the beginning of this year we adopted 2 year old Charlie, a tri Cavalier King Charles as a companion for our 8 year old Golden Retriever. The two of them got on immediately and the new addition to the family has settled in nicely. He is extremely loving, very gentle with our 4 year daughter and proving to be a wonderful friend to our other dog. Don't believe he was very socialised with other dogs before we got him, we are now successfully working to introducing him to other dogs whist out on walks in the local woods.

    Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was stinky all the time and no matter how much we bathe him and emany groomed visits! His intelligence was not good. Let's just say he wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box. Highly unruly and disliked to have to obey comma
    nds. Potty training was a nightmare and now that he is mostly trained still has accidents! And to add more his health is very poor. Heart murmur and teeth issues. He has become a money pit. I will never own another king charles again.

    we bought our ckcs for our son for his birthday its a fantasic loving dog does like to be centre of attention, i wouldnt have one of these dogs unless your home in the day as they like people. you must keep on top of grooming especially the ears, and they can have a lot of health problems but you could get health problems with any dogs. we took ours to puppy classes which was a great success.

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are great dogs, fun to have, play with. For me its the big brown eyes looking at you. Honey my kings charles is a six years old, I must say that they have been the best years.

    Honey has a very bad heart, and has been In and out of the vets since November (Dick White referrals), she is on tablets, but is on borrowed time. She will be missed ever so much. Breeders should try to stop this, its just heart breaking.

    The very first cavalier I had was eight weeks old, he was a xmas present from my husband. He was a beautiful ruby and I called him Casper. Because it was the xmas and new year holiday I was unable to get him to the vets for his first injection until the first week in January 1998. When I did take him after the vet checked him over he then advised me that Casper had quite a bad heart murmur and recommended I took him back to the breeder, he advised me he needed to see a heart specialist a.s.a.p ...

    We very sadly lost Molly King charles cavalier a month after her 7 bithday. We feel that we have been robbed of her short life but then would not be without the 7 beautiful years we had with her. She was dignosed with a heart Murmur age 4 and was fine on no medication just regular checks. Then in March this year I noticed her breatheing became more rapid so we took her to the vets and she was put on medication. Then two weeks ago I noticed her cough was becoming constant. Then everthing wen ...

    My dog Toby died 6 days ago at the age of 15, with no health problems except a removed spleen a few years ago. He was part of the family and i can't remember not having him around (i was 4 when we first got him). He's always been a friendly, cheerful dog and will be sadly missed by all who met him for a long time to come. On the day he died, every member of the family was home (this is a rare occasion, as my dad lives in Spain, and my sister away from home). He came up to us at different points ...

    I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who are both friendly, affectionate and eager to please. Both dogs are constantly by my side and are always happy to see me - when I come home from work they will be sat there wagging their tails.
    Although they have absolutely perfect temperaments I wouldn't consider getting another. Both dogs have had serious health issues, with one having: dry eye, diabetes, a heart murmur, colitis, luxating patella, episodic falling and has problems with his back. Bot ...

    Our dog Charlie is the most wonderful pet we have had the pleasure to own.

    His loving, sweet welcome when I come home from work and affectionate, playful nature make him a joy to own.

    If you have a big loving heart, the Cavalier will return your love ten fold.

    A magnificent breed. More than Deserving of the title "The Ultimate Cute dog"

    My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Millie is a great dog! She never leaves my side and follows me everywhere. Her favourite place to sleep is in my bed or on the sofa. She goes through bags of treats, and sometimes wastes her food, as we sometimes treat her and give her different food.
    Overall, I love her!

    We are the second home for our 7-year-old and have had him a year. He's gentle and great with the kids. When the kids are around, he's happy, the kids are happy, and I'm happy.

    But I work out of my home, and when the kids aren't around and I need to work a normal work day -- he can get on your nerves. He loves attention. If you leave him to run free, he'll sit there and stare at you, or worse yet whine. If you keep him separated in another part of the house, you can be sure he's sitting th ...

    My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is fantastic! She's like one of my babies, and so well behaved and gentle. She's more obedient off the lead than my old border collie; basically because she won't leave my side. She does beg for food, but would never steal any. A real lap dog. Not a dog for someone who works because they love companionship. Sadly, today she was diagnosed with a heart murmur. However, we love her so much we are prepared for the costly vet bills. Perfect with children!

    These are terrible dogs to own! Badly behaved and a nightmare to do anything with. they suffer many health problems and will eat whatever they can, one of the key factors of there poor health! Steer well clear!

    I have had my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Georgie for a year and a half. I had him a month after my daughter was born and they have grown up to be the best of friends. He is such a loyal adoring dog and has quickly made friends with my border collie!
    He does recognize other ckc's and gets very excited!!
    Only problem is you have to be careful to groom every week at least as i found out! -Georgie's ears became a tangly mess!
    eyes also get gunky!
    He loves to have a bath!
    Lovely adoring, f ...

    I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and they really are the loves of my life. They are excellent with all the family, and they will greet any visitors like they are a long lost friend.

    My two will accept any other doggy visitors into the house without batting an eyelid. In fact, they think it's party time when they meet another dog. Cavaliers will always recognise their own breed too, and they get really excited when they meet another CKCS.

    If you want a dog and you are at home for ...

    I had a Blenheim Cavalier for 11 years (male) he was our first dog. We chose this breed as we had young children and safety was paramount. He was gentle, loving and very loyal. We never experienced large vet bills, and although his excercise was limited as he got older, generally they are happy for a little walk, without going for mile hikes!
    They do not eat the home like some breeds, and are never destructive.
    Our boy developed a heart murmor in his last year, which slowed him down, as it wou ...

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have superb personalities, although bitches can be more protective. I'm not sure why the other reviewer would say you can't let them off the lead. If your dog is trained correctly then there is no problem. They are a wonderful breed and get on with anyone or any animal, although we have found rabbits are on the 'lets eat it' menu. You can try to avoid health problem by going to an experienced breeder.

    My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sadly passed away recently at the age of 11 1/2 years. He had had a heart murmur since he was around 6, and developed fluid on his lungs 3 years ago. Despite these health problems (which have been very costly) he showed no signs of having them, and had lived an active and normal life right up until he died; which was peacefully in his sleep. He was brilliant with my son aged 18 months, and has been a very faithful loving member of the family.
