We have a lovely 10 month old puppy called Revel. She was one of the best decisions we have made. Cavalier king charles are one of the most loving dogs you can get. They are very friendly both to other humans and other dogs. They are very happy to be sitting on your knee for hours, or to go on nice long walks and love to play with the children. They are suitable for everyone. They are ideal as a first dog. They do grow quite long hair which needs looking. Needs a good brush to stop matting but as the dogs are quite happy to sit and have it done it is not a chore. The Cavalier king charles come in four colours. The blenheim (like the one in the photo), Tri colour (black tan and white) Ruby and black and Tan. If you have a pedigree They are prone to heart and eye problems so you have to be aware of this and get them checked regularly. I would recommend these dogs to anyone looking for a puppy and they are very easy to train and very easy to look after.
