Info on Cavies

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small to medium dog and is in the toy group. Even though they are smallish dogs they're the largest breed of the toy group. "Cavies" (nickname) can come in a variety of different colors. Mine happens to have Blenheim coloring. Some of the colors that they can be are; Blenheim (rich chestnut on pearly white background), Tricolor (black and white with tan markings on cheeks, inside ears, resembling eyebrows, inside legs, and on the underside of the tail), Black and Tan (black with tan markings), and Ruby (rich reddish-brown all over.)




Cavaliers are great with kids and love to be played with but they can also be very cuddly. Cavies are very loyal. They are very friendly toward other dogs, pets, and strangers. If you are looking for a watch dog I think you should look for a different breed of dog since these dogs are so friendly.



As in its name, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a spaniel that passed through many spaniel roots. These spaniels known as "comforter spaniels" and served as lap and floor warmers! They also even served the function of attracting fleas from their owners' babies! The toy spaniels became very popular because they were great with all members of the family. In the 1700s King Charles II was so impressed with his toy spaniels that he was accused of ignoring matters of state and just caring about his spaniels. The spaniels were so closely associated with him that they became known as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
