The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel — also known as the King Charles Spaniel or Blenheim Cavalier — lives up to its royal name with an affectionate and elegant personality. This adaptable breed blends the gentleness of a toy dog with the spirited playfulness of a sporting breed. Cavaliers make devoted companions for both children and adults, easily adjusting to the activity level of their families. Whether curled up on a lap or playing fetch in the garden, they bring warmth and charm to any household.
Originating in Europe, the breed developed from crosses between small spaniels and Oriental toy breeds like the Japanese Chin. Cavaliers became beloved lapdogs among English nobility, especially under King Charles II, from whom they take their name. With expressive eyes, long feathered ears, and a silky coat in four distinct color combinations, they embody elegance and affection. Cavaliers are friendly, patient, and eager to please, thriving equally in city apartments or country homes. Their moderate energy and gentle temperament make them perfect companions for families, seniors, and first-time owners. Regular grooming keeps their luxurious coat smooth, and daily walks maintain their health and happiness. With their loving nature and refined appearance, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel remains one of the most endearing and versatile companion breeds.
