Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are the dogs of happiness. No one like them has lenses on their eyes that look at the world with a special light.

The whole universe for a Cavalier is an immense garden where lizards warm themselves in the sun, butterflies color the air and flowers bloom even in winter. The solar year for him has only one season: the awakening of spring. Everything is a miracle for this eternal child, everything is exceptional to greet amazed, for his eyes in love with life.

It is a cure-all to have him next to you if you think that he not only lives for you, but wants to place his magical lenses on your heart to look at life through a smile. You become a better person if you hold such a being in your arms.

He just wants to live next to you, he doesn’t need anything else because you are the whole universe, you are time, complete and perfect and nobody ever like you.

Stretch a hand on his silky fur and listen: he is loving you without defenses and without reservations, he certainly looks at you and for all his life, as if each time were the first or the last, mixing in the light of his eyes a flicker of welcome and a goodbye tear forever. They must have selected him for this, to make men better to warm his heart and home, to turn the tinsel into gold and who knows, perhaps to satiate human beings with the inexhaustible hunger for omnipotence, because it is not enough for a Cavalier to say that in the world there is only you, he tells you that the world is you.

CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOR

The standard defines it like this: active, graceful, well-proportioned dog, with a sweet character, full of life, affectionate, who is not afraid of anything, cheerful, sociable, not aggressive.

The Cavalier loves long walks and is a tireless walker, but is not a dog suitable for sleeping outdoors; if it were up to him, the best place for a nap would be his master’s bed, even if not everyone is willing to share a bed with a furry four-legged, so the Cavalier will be satisfied with a sofa or perhaps a warm bed.

He does not like loneliness, for him following his master everywhere is a reason for living, no matter where you go; it is very suitable for children and in the USA it is used for pet therapy. It is absolutely not aggressive either towards people or towards other dogs, and it is certainly a dog that eliminates stress thanks to its sweet look and its great affection.

He loves to please his human companion, which is why he is very easy to train and learns very easily, he almost never barks and he is absolutely not a watchdog … indeed, if he meets a thief he will surely party him.

It has a tendency to put on weight and her big black eyes will always make you believe she is literally starving, but that’s not the case; a fat Cavalier snores more and you certainly don’t do his health a favor, so no snacks.
