I dog sat a Cav for several months and now getting one of my own is all I can think about. I am 6’1” tall and always wanted a large dog, like a retriever, German shepherd, sheep dog, etc. I figured because I have spinal issues I don’t want to have to bend over too much to pet my dog. But holy shit I was not at all ready for how much I’d fall in love with this little guy. He gave me so much love, I couldn’t help but love him back. He would lay in my lap or on my chest, follow me all over the house. Absolutely adorable and I miss him so much. I cried when the owners moved to another country. And now I want my own haha. Amazing breed. Best boy ever love you boy
I struggle with a mood disorder and my senior cavalier “Christie” has saved me. Anytime I’m depressed or sad and laying down she can just sense it and will get up and “hug” my face it’s so cute. My favorite breed by far.
I use to have so many dogs of this breed because my boy dog was always reproducing haha. They’re very gentle and loving. Too bad they all were eventually sold, died of old age, and the last one I had passed away due to having multiple tumors and had to be put down :(
Absolutely agree! 🤗 They are such a beautiful and affectionate dog. Hi Herky & Milton’s Dad ❤️ It’s so nice to see you on the channel again. Looks like you had such a fun time at the beach. Give Herky and Milton a huuuuuge hug from us. Love… 🐶 Ruby-Alice 🐶 Rocky Bradman 🐶 Lady Lily-Grace (Black & Tan Cavalier) 🐶 Charlie Frank (Blenheim Cavalier)
Great to hear. I love my old man. He's a Jack Russell. I love to cuddle but he hates it He's miserable and wants to he playing. This bread may be my next boy or girl. They seem like a perfect play to cuddle ratio. They are the perfect size too. I'm going to start saving now for costs if I can't find one by chance to adopt from the pound.
@@Jesswithlessstress They can cost a lot but trust me they're worth every penny and more! I got my first Cav almost 2 years ago and he is the sweetest, most affectionate little guy.
I had a King Charles got him when I was 5 and he was 7 months old, he just passed away in October at 17 years and if I have learned one thing it’s that he was the most loyal,sweet, and well behaved dog I’ve ever met and owned so far in my lifetime. Never snapped at me messing with him as a kid he would sit outside my bedroom door in the mornings and wait for me to wake up since he wasn’t allowed in my room. The best dog ever, miss him so much. I would absolutely in a heart beat own another💙
@@1bhaalkc273 Sorry for both of your losses, its hard when the time comes but that hole in your heart is always able to be patched up thinking about all those fun times, all those snuggles and stinky farts that impress you. Such a gift they are. When your ready, give that same joy to a new pup.
@@1bhaalkc273 I know this was a year ago, but I am so sorry. Have you decided whether or not you're going to get another? Maybe you already have one? Let us know!
It really amazes me how a Cavalier can go from being motionless sleeping on the couch, to flying to the door with a wizzing tail when my mother comes home. They’re crazy, but so nice.
This is the best breed ever! I could not imagine my life without my CKCS anymore! They are beautiful, kind, loving, playful, loyal, athletic and I could go on and on!
Freckles is 6 months old today. An energetic, super playful, almost constant chewer of toys (almost all of his baby teeth are out now), cuddler (loves to be in your lap or laying beside you) and incredibly intelligent. He sleeps with me, and at first I was worried about him falling off my high bed. After a few nights, once I knew he was close to jumping down, I put a foot stool at the end of the bed. One minute to train him to get up and down safely, and 30 minutes to attempt to puppy-proof my bedroom. We are 68 years old, and with the pandemic, stuck pretty much at home and living a very lazy life. I had asked for a treadmill for Christmas, but was gifted this fur baby instead. Oh, there are some days I think the treadmill would have been better, but this little bundle never lets me escape or put off exercise! While the aching back and legs are improving, I have already lost about 7 pounds. The puppy stage is a 24/7 awareness, as the super nose wants to get into everything, but I'm sure that is true of all puppies. I have no doubt that training will be super beneficial for this breed, and that's next on our agenda now that he has settled in to his new forever home.
i have just purchased my 4th cavalier ,i have kept them for over 40 years , they have all been very different ❤ i love the breed and Charley who is 7months is making a stunning dog so beautiful ❤x
I really have my heart set on this breed. I suffer from bad anxiety and I’ve heard cavaliers are great therapy dogs and amazing companions so I feel having one would help a lot. I still live at home and we already have 2 dogs one being an 11 year old boxer pitbull mix, our family has always had dogs we can’t imagine life without our fur babies but we do wish to have a smaller breed this time around.
Hi Jessica. I have struggled with feelings of sadness and isolation during covid. Snuggling my cav is soothing and helps a lot. I love her dearly. Please get one!
Hi Jessica, my mum suffers from severe anxiety and I can say that our three Cavvies are absolutely incredible. They rarely leave her side, their faces are a delight to behold and their temperament is perfect for service dog training. Plus on days where you feel low, all you need to do is stroke their silky ears and they’ll shower you with kisses!
@@BearlyAnInconvenience That’s so sweet! I was actually just diagnosed with bipolar disorder alongside the anxiety, unfortunately with us having two dogs in such a small house my parents say I will have to wait but I’m saving up money going towards getting a cavi from a breeder as well as saving money to go towards vet bills. This is something I wish to be responsible for and me alone to grow in maturity. being without a job is hard enough but it’s given me the time to do such thorough research on the breed. :)
I work nights. I have anxiety and insomnia. As soon as I lay down he gets up from sleep from my wife's feet and wants under the covers. Puts me to sleep. Then he stays with me untill I wake up.
I must admit I'm toying between getting a Cavalier or a Yorkie. May I suggest a book to help with your anxiety - it's called Self Help For Your Nerves by Dr Claire Weekes. It explains all of the symptoms including panic attacks and how they are not harmful and how to cure them using her acceptance method - which is becoming quite a golden standard these days.
My 2 year old CKCS is the sweetest little creature on earth. I wanted a Cav for years before getting one, and he is so much better than I could have ever dreamed. I'm getting another one next year!
Cav’s are gorgeous! So loyal, social butterflies and quirky! One night we woke to our girl barking at something on the other side of the fence, to find it was a broken egg shell. An Egg Shell!!!! She was so proud, doing her duty to protect us… yet she’d wag and be all over the postman 😂 Also the snoring. My dad was her absolute favourite, she’d back herself into the armchair with him (completely squashed) and snore as loud and in unison with him. Such funny character’s! As far as health stuff. She did get ‘Summer Itch’ on her back from about 4 years of age. Am in Australia with high humidity and hot summer’s!! Haircuts in summer can lessen this! She would get a lot of gunk in her eyes, nothing that eye drops couldn’t fix and got I’ll at 8.5 with a urinary tract infection that led to her losing weight and decline. I don’t know if that is common in CAVs. Totally recommend them though
Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was the best. He passed over a year ago now and I still cry about our loss. He was the most beautiful dog in every way. If you're considering this breed and love lap dogs who are intelligent and have a lot of love to give, you will not be disappointed.
Mine has the most scary stare in the world... and sometimes I stare at him back... And we have a staring contest for the next 30 seconds. But his fur is really warm and smooth like silk it feels amazing
Our CAV would of corse stare at you when you ate food, but taught herself to have a fake problem with her eye, so we’d feel sorry for her and give in. She did occasionally have problems with gunk in her eyes and need eye drops, and got lot’s of attention. She was a smart little cookie, so very funny too
I adopted a CKCS 4 years ago, and she's such a gentle loving dog. She loves going outside and running around with us. But she also loves to sit on the couch and cuddle.
My grandmother had two when I was growing up. A black and tan one, Danny, and a white and tan one, Chase. It’s my DREAM to own my own white and tan when I’m older.
I have two cavaliers and they are the most affectionate and loving dogs. They are great companions and are very gentle with children and you get the best cuddles ever.
Watching this training is VERY helpful. You're showing how rewarding it is to spend time and to be patient. I'm motivated to find an available KC puppy and take extra good care. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this wonderful video that is teaching me all about this beautiful dog. We went to the dog park yesterday here in Vancouver B.C. and saw one of these beautiful dog. He came up to us, giving us a lovely tail wag and he let us pat him. He was so calm and loving and had super beautiful big eyes, like a deer. We came home and tried to find a picture on the net and there he is. Then we found your wonderful video. Yes, what a lovely dog.
Cavaliers are the best spaniels. I've had several Cockers, spaniel mixes, and a Field Spaniel. Cavaliers show their love for their owners MUCH more than the others. They're also more emotionally sensitive and physically delicate. They tend to have more serious health issues later in life compared to other spaniels, but these days there's DNA testing available to breeders, so INSIST on that if you get a puppy (of any breed, but especially Cavs). Also note that Cavaliers have a reputation as quiet dogs, but mine is a LOUDMOUTH...so don't take breed standards as gospel (actually Cavs make good watch dogs). They're also more active than you might expect. Lastly, they snore like idling motorcycles. I bought my Cav from an experienced veterinary technician who DNA tested all her dogs, immediately sent me photos of both parents when I requested them, and answered every question I had as thoroughly as if I were in a vet's office. She advertised the litter on the best known puppy website. I spent almost a full year looking at puppies of various breeds, and over that time it became clear to me which breeders were trustworthy and which ones to avoid. There are specific things to look for that are listed in articles, but in the end the most important thing is your gut feeling that "I'm making a smart choice with a smart breeder." Conversely, if you have any feeling that there's possibly something "not right" about a choice, the feeling is probably correct.
Me encanta ver cavalier tan bonitos en el jardín. Un grupo de cachorros de varias madres, y su criadora con mucho cariño los coge con sus manos. Bravo!!
@@riverbenjamin c'est à cause de leur sensibilité et de leur regard que nous associons à la féminité . Ca mis a part , les femelles ont le museau légèrement plus fin . C'est valable dans presque toutes les races , à ma connaissance , du moins .
We rescued a female from a puppy mill. She was obviously abused and wouldn't go near anyone. She has transformed over three months and is slowly becoming a regular dog.
HUGE LOVE MUFFINS! You have to bond well and train them well. I owned 2 of royal breads as Blenheim females for over 12 years. They are most a beautiful breed. It is expensive to own and require grooming needs and love to walk and play always. But they sure will melt your heart forever with so much love. Mine went all over in great travels and loved it...but eager to go home. LOL!
Like many, myself, family members and friends have owned many breeds over time. I can't recommend Cavaliers enough if you want an affectionate dog that loves people. Our Cavy we rescued at 4 years old goes to the weekly farmers market and is gentle with children in strollers to the elderly. Friend also owns one and it just wants love. My regret is not being familiar with this breed earlier in life.
Me and my brother were watching this video because my brother wasn’t feeling very well 😢. But now he’s so happy because this is his favorite dog breed. 😂😂😂
The most loving and careful dog I have ever met, but listen to the health-issues.. Mine passed away at 8 years because of a heart decease. I loved that dog so much, but when getting another dog some day I will have to reconsider the breed for it's own good.You don't want your dog to be in pain!
As a disabled adult and a wheelchair user , I was considering adopting one of these little dogs , but decided against it after reading what they could go through regarding their HEALTH , WOULD'NT want to see one in PAIN posting from LONDON ENGLAND
I have one of these lovely loving dogs. He’s wonderful follows me from room to room loves sitting on my lap. Makes friends every where he goes with us.
We enjoyed out ruby cavalier for just under ten years when his heart valve just disintegrated. We miss his presence but we were blessed by the joy he gave us. I learned that all of these dogs have the problems so they cannot be selected out. That said, with all the genetic defects the breed has I think a group of experienced breeders should begin the breeding from the beginning again. All Cavs can be traced back to six dogs that formed their common ancestors, and their defects. Begin again- with genetic testing used to dodge these terrible fatal problems and the heartache of suffering and early death they and their owners endure.
We too had out tri-colour for just under 10 years. She had syrngomyelia, sadly 70% of Cav’s have this trait. She also had problems with her eyes, ears and also had a heart murmur. Our Cavalier was so loving and followed us everywhere and was so friendly to children. Sadly we lost her to syringomelia, she was having spasms and could not drink, bark or move her head. She was in a lot of pain very quickly. For this reason I would ask the breeder to do an MRI on both parents before taking on another Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
WE have a 26lbs King Charles he is not fat but large for his breed we just love him, he is very smart and we keep his coat short because he sheds like nobody's business.
I have one, an 8 months old. And even though she sometimes can be quite a handful, my 2 yrs old German Shepherd really love her. They're inseparable now !
I just have a puppy, since 2 months. Roxane a girl. Before Chance 13 years and before Lizzie 10 years. Heart . Both are in my heart. They are so beautiful and so tender.
Adorable little dogs, so gentle and sweet. Research needed before purchasing from a breeder, the terrible practice of interbreeding has caused these little darlings to have so many health issues. I would love to get a rescue to keep my 4 year old tri-coloured Cavalier company but they very rarely become available in the UK.
$2500 on the high end? We paid $3500 for our little girl in 2013. But her mom was a national grand champion and the only reason the breeder sold her was because she has a slight snaggle tooth which she thought would affect her chances of winning. We did bring her back a couple years later for a visit since we were passing during a vacation and after seeing her told us if she could go back she would have kept her. I'm glad she sold her to us though as she is the best dog either my wife or I have ever had.
I had one crossed with a Jack Russell - Wonderful short-haired, long-eared and long nosed dog, friend to everyone. It had the heart valve problem, and developed liver cancer, and died a couple of weeks ago aged 13.
Listen to the health. They will get it. I had 2 and each one had each disease. It is extremely hard to watch this beautiful gentle breed come down with each one. There will be vet bills. This is one breed that NEEDS to have other DNA in it to snuff out these cruel genetics.
Sharon here: Our cavalier will be eleven next month. She joined our family as a present for my husband, who says that the "gift" keeps on giving. We put her on a diet of high quality dog food, as she is prone to pancreatitis. She wasn't trained to bathroom in our yard, but needs to be walked four or five times a day. She loves chasing a ball, as well - all of this exercise has staved off the heart disease they are prone to have. Sweetest tail-wagger, ever. She stays by our side continually.
Hi. Does the pancreatitus show up as bile vomits and loose stool ? Mine having this problem... She wont eat biscuits so high nutrition more difficult. Its like she can only tolerate lean chicken or gets stomach oroblems
I have two one Tri Color one Blenheim, my Blenheim Rosé just watched this video, Kingsley napped on the floor bored. lol love the information and I love my fur babies
I have a Blendham "white and orange red" his name is Shiloh. Honestly, the best dog Ive ever had! He hates it when Im not within his eyesight. Foliws me even yo the restroom. Gives much peace to me and my wife!
Careful, I know one from Japan that is obsessed with collecting fingers and not letting people sleep for 10+ hours (possibly the whole day). Oh and is strangely very close to a cat.
Brilliant dog and great friend. Amazing with children. Ply buy from a genuine breeder or better good home or enthusiastic shower.Ensure they are heart tested and go back as many parents as possible. They need love and deserve it.
They are the best dogs ever but you should really watch out when picking a puppy and dont be afraid to invest Into it - Its worth it to lower the risk of diseases since a Lot of the conditions are hereditary and good breeders test their dogs for it.
