Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Dog Breed Profile

Added on Feb 16th, 2009
Rubi Sue is my first personal Cavalier, my best friend/old roommate got Stella Mae at 10 weeks and the two of us raised Stella together. When the two of them had to suddenly move out due to family health issues I was devistated! After doing research and calling a few breeders I got my own Cavalier (because after having one you'll never go back!). Rubi and I have been together for 8 months (she is 10 months old) and the breed lives up to its reputation. She is a Mommy's Girl and will do everything she can to get as close as possible to me at bedtime and follows me around the house. Rubi is, however, obsessed with shadows... meaning she chases every shadow (except her own) that she can. I believe its CCD (Canine Compulsive Disorder), but like they say, dogs resemble their owners! Rubi ADORES children, including my two very young nieces. The only problem is that she wants to kiss them so I have to keep her from jumping up on them and possibly knocking the small ones over! She gets along very well with all humans and all dogs (she does prefer pit bulls, german shepards, and australian shepards though!) and plays fetch like a big dog, bringing it back and everything!
   
Cavaliers are the most beautiful, eye catching, loyal, and lovable dogs. Its hard to say no to those beautiful eyes and that sweet little face! After having (basically) two Cavaliers... I'll never go back.
