Adorable cute cavalier king charles spaniel :-
The breed is highly affectionate, playful, extremely patient and eager
to please. As such, dogs of the breed are good with children and other dogs.
Cavaliers are not shy about socialising with much larger dogs. They will adapt
quickly to almost any environment, family, and location. Their ability to bond
with larger and smaller dogs makes them ideal in houses with more than one
breed of dog as long as the other dog is trained. The breed is great with
people of all ages, from children to seniors, making them a very versatile dog.
Cavaliers rank 44th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, being of
average intelligence in working or obedience. Cavaliers are naturally curious
and playful, but also enjoy simply cuddling up on a cushion or lap, making them
excellent companion or lap dogs for medical patients and the elderly.
Cavaliers are active and sporting. They have an instinct to chase most
things that move including vehicles on busy streets, and so most Cavaliers will
never become "street-wise". As they tend to regard all strangers as
friends, members of the breed will usually not make good guard dogs. Spaniels
have a strong hunting instinct and may endanger birds and small animals.
However, owners have reported that through training their Cavaliers live
happily with a variety of small animals including hamsters and gerbils.

dog resembling Charles II's King Charles Spaniel of the Restoration.The life span of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is about 9 to 14 years.

Various health issues affect this particular breed, most notably mitral
valve disease, which leads to heart failure. This appears in most Cavaliers at
some point in their lives and is the most common cause of death. The breed may
also suffer from syringomyelia, in which cavities are formed in the spinal
cord, possibly associated with malformation of the skull that reduces the space
available for the brain. Cavaliers are also affected by ear problems, a common
health problem among spaniels of various types, and they can suffer from such
other general maladies as hip dysplasia, which are common across many types of
