The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is considered to be a Sporting Toy Breed in the dog world. They love to play and be active and really enjoy being around their family. If they see anything in the yard or through the window, just know that they will be chasing after it. This is where the fenced yard comes in, you will need one with one of these dogs.
Kind hearted and gentle, this dog breed could also be considered some what of a lap dog. They just love to be close and snuggle up. They don't like to be left alone for too long, so they may become destructive if you do so. I would suggest, if you are getting one of these wonderful dogs that you have a pet companion for them, or even take them with you when you leave the house if possible. They are great with other dogs and most of the time, other cats. They are also good with children.
The Cavalier needs plenty of exercise so daily walks and some play time in the yard or house are in order. Lack of exercise with these dogs can also lead to destructive behavior out of frustration. Begin to socialize them at a young age if possible, this way they will be great with everyone and very balanced. These dogs just love people and they love to please. You could almost get them to do anything for a good treat!
