This dog was originally bred to warm laps in drafty castles and on chilly carriage rides. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is the descendant of a small toy spaniel depicted in many 16th, 17th and 18th Century paintings of northern Europe. Light shedding, which occurs in the spring and fall, generally arouses little notice.

Little more than a thorough weekly brushing is required, in addition to routine bathing and professional trimming as desired. Regular grooming is key to keeping the Cavalier's coat lustrous. Although these dogs have a proclivity for noisy greetings, Cavaliers generally are not protective. Ideal as a family dog or as a companion for "empty nesters," the Cavalier loves to cuddle and has been described as the perfect lap dog. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is easy to keep. These happy little dogs are excellent with children, and their desire to interact with their guardians makes them pleasurable household companions. Shyness and aggression, fortunately, are not part of this breed's behavioral milieu. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is an enchantingly affectionate, playful, intelligent dog that eagerly indulges its guardians with endearing devotion.
The coat is long, silky and soft and comes in four color combinations: red and white with a partial red mask and ears and red patches on a white body tricolor (black and white with tan points) ruby (solid red) and black and tan. The tail is carried gaily when in motion. The chest is moderately deep and the body is compact. The neck is fairly long and set atop sloping shoulders. The long, feathered ears, which are set high and wide on the crown, fan forward slightly to frame the face when the dog is alert. The skull is slightly rounded, and the muzzle full, but mildly tapered. The face of the Cavalier is distinctive for its sweet, gentle expression that owes much to its large, round, dark brown eyes, set well apart. Its diminutive figure is 12 to 13 inches high at the withers and 13 to 18 pounds (6 to 8 kilograms).
The overall appearance of the Cavalier King Charles spaniel is regal and sophisticated, yet charmingly cute.
