my little puppie hair is falling out the vet is baffaflled outherwise hes heatly what can i do anyone know hes a king charkes cavilier
Our Cavvie is the perfect pet except for one big fault, and this is that if we let him off the lead he won't come when called as he's too busy having a lovely time sniffing at everything. It is annoying to have to backtrack to get him and then put him back on the lead, when we'd love to see him run free and have a great time like other dogs.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are so cute!!!!!!!!!
Two at my feet at the moment. I love an active, sporty dog, but as a single woman, pledge to keep breeds that I can carry home from trail walks or load into the car myself if we ever have an emergency. These little guys are an incredible hybrid of sporty fun in a small package. They will jump in a creek in one minute and lay on a pillow (after a bath) in the next. Never met man nor beast who is not completely charmed by the Cavalier!
I have always wanted a cavalier. I finally got one and he is the sweetest dog ever!
They are amazing. With the coolest personality and a face that makes you smile. They are adorable and so playful. I HEART CAVELIER KING CHARLES SPANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<333333

I have a 10 month old blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and when I first got him he didn't go on a pad that well so we switched to walking him twice a day and it is great. Often we go to the dog run in battery park or madsion square park and have a great time. I suggest that you brush twice or three times a week because once I brushed his hair on monday and when I was going to brush him on saturday he had a big knot on the back of his ear and it was really close to his skin so now I have to ask a vet to cut it. He is a wonderful dog though. Smart, playful and my best pal.
I recently posted about my Cavalier who is a 10 month old blenheim and i just want to tell the person who was anonymus and said that their health problems go on forever. My cavalier is 10 months old and the last time i got him checked( about 2 weeks ago) there was nothing wrong with him, but i read that they are prone to heart problems and that they can get overweight easily. Hope this helped
from chloe and Dallas (my cavalier)
We have a black and tan Cavalier, and although I grew up a complete cat person, this dog has changed my entire perspective. She is the sweetest, most loving animal I have ever encountered. She is not the smartest creature out there, but she has learned 'sit,' 'fetch,' 'come,' 'stay,' and 'speak.' She's at the door waiting for you every time you enter, and she wants nothing more than to be touching or cuddling you at all times. Well, WELL worth the price tag!
