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.

What is the difference between a King Charles Spaniel and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

The King Charles Spaniel and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel are distinct breeds; the King Charles Spaniel has a shorter nose, more domed skull, smaller and stockier body with a flatter face, while the Cavalier has a longer muzzle, flatter skull, and a slightly larger and more athletic build. 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.

How much does a King Charles Spaniel or Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cost?

The purchase price for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy generally starts around £1,000 to £2,800 or more depending on breeder reputation, lineage, and location. Lifetime costs are higher due to their health care, grooming, and maintenance needs. King Charles Spaniels are similarly priced though may vary depending on factors like bloodline. Buyers should budget for significant ongoing expenses associated with veterinary care.

Are King Charles Spaniels or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels good pets?

Yes, both breeds are known for their affectionate, gentle, and adaptable nature, making them wonderful family pets and companions. They usually get along well with children and other animals, forming strong bonds with their owners. However, they require companionship and proper care to prevent anxiety or destructive behaviors. Due to their health vulnerabilities, prospective owners should be prepared for potential veterinary costs and care commitments.
