Overview: The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small spaniel known for its graceful appearance and affectionate nature. They are often referred to as “Comforter” or “Softie” because of their gentle disposition. This breed was originally developed by breeding together the now extinct “King Charles” toy spaniels with other small breeds such as the Blenheim spaniel. Today, the Cavalier has become popular as a family companion due to its friendly temperament and adaptability.
