Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Sweet, gentle companions with a regal past
The Cavalier's all-around beauty, regal grace and even temper mark him as one of dogdom's noblemen. A toy spaniel no more than 13 inches high, the Cavalier draws you in with his face: the sweet, gentle, melting expression from large, round eyes is a breed hallmark, and so is the silky, richly colored coat. Toy spaniels were the favorites of European nobility from at least Renaissance times, and the breed is named for the British king Charles II, who was devoted to them. The breed comes in four distinct color patterns: Blenheim (chestnut markings on a white background), Tricolor (black markings on a white background), Black and Tan, and Ruby, a rich red. Cavaliers combine the gentle attentiveness of a toy breed with the verve and athleticism of a sporting spaniel. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a generally healthy breed with an average lifespan of 9–14 years. Grooming is simple: brush daily to prevent tangles, bathe about once a month (shampooing twice to get them fully clean), dry with a hairdryer on low, clean the ears at least weekly, and trim the feathering around the paw pads.

Guardian Home Program
Most of our breeding Cavaliers live as cherished family members in guardian homes, never in kennels. A guardian family receives a top-quality Cavalier at no cost and keeps the dog as a family pet, while we keep the breeding rights and pay for all health testing and breeding expenses. When the dog retires, we cover the spay or neuter and ownership transfers to the guardian family. Guardian homes live within an hour of Pasadena, Maryland, own their home with a fenced yard, feed one of the Victor dog foods we require and keep the dog on NuVet vitamins.
