The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is often referred to as a toy dog. They are usually very friendly and quiet and make great therapy pets. They crave attention and are very loyal, dependable pets. Spaniels do not like to be left alone for too long, so make sure to get a sitter if you’re working late. The breed is said to have originated in the England – hence the ‘King Charles’ name. They only need light exercise – like a walk or time at the park – and their silk coats require moderate grooming. They usually weigh 12-18 pounds and live about 9-14 years.
