Is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel right for you?

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed from the Toy group, originally from England. It typically weighs 13–18 lb and lives 12–15 years. Known for being affectionate, gentle, graceful, it has moderate energy and moderate shedding, and generally does well with families, seniors.

Match the breed's energy to your lifestyle: a moderate-energy dog needs an owner who can meet that activity level. Factor in grooming for the shedding level, budget for food and veterinary care, and always meet a dog in person before committing.
