Cavalier King Charles Breed Standards

Breed standards for the Cavalier King Charles call for it to be free from curl, with a slight wave permissible. In adulthood, Cavaliers grow lengthy feathering on their ears, chest, legs, feet and tail; Cavalier King Charles breed standards demand this be kept long, with the feathering on the feet cited as a particularly important feature of the breed. The breed standards have concentrated almost exclusively on the animals' appearance and paid little attention to temperament and breeders seeking easy money have bred from animals that were clearly physically or mentally unsound, in order to satisfy the enormous public demand for the currently 'fashionable' breeds. If you're looking to purchase a Cavalier King Charles make sure you get him/her from a reputable breeder. Always look at the parents to check out their health and also to see there temperament. Although through my experiences with the breed, I have never come across a Cavalier King Charles with a bad temperament.

Cavalier King Charles are a great breed to have especially for children . My niece and nephew are at my house quite often and they are a little rough with Rusty, only because they have big dogs at home, and Rusty just sits there and he takes it. I do let the kids know when I feel they are getting a little rough with him. Cavalier King Charles are affectionate and love their owners, they have been deemed the ultimate lapdog. They are also people pleasures and enjoy encouragements and prove to be eager learners and patient in training.

The best thing I Love about Rusty is that very rarelly does he bark and he likes to be around me and other people.
