The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small dog that was originally bred in the United Kingdom. Cavaliers are also known for their gentle demeanor and make great family pets. They are also known for their love of performing tricks, and they can be taught to do everything from rolling over to playing fetch.
They are prone to several health problems, including heart disease, ear infections, and hip dysplasia. However, with proper care, Cavaliers can live for 10 to 12 years.
If you're considering adding a one to your family, be sure to research the breed thoroughly and discuss any concerns you may have with your veterinarian. Cavaliers require a lot of love and attention, but they are well worth the effort.
