FAQs

What are the negatives of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels face several health challenges including a higher risk of heatstroke due to their short-nosed brachycephalic skull structure, and are prone to syringomyelia, a serious neurological condition causing chronic pain and coordination issues. They often develop mitral valve disease which affects heart function, and suffer from brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome that limits their breathing and exercise ability. Some may show aggression towards small pets due to hunting instincts, and they can experience anxiety or boredom if not properly stimulated. Additionally, they tend to be costly to own due to ongoing veterinary and maintenance expenses.

Cavaliers often resemble earlier toy spaniels and are more outgoing and active, whereas King Charles Spaniels tend to be more reserved. Both breeds share affectionate temperaments but differ in appearance and some health risks.
