on This Breed
From Karen, Tasmania, Australia I've had dogs all my life, of many different breeds, but if you want
companionship & a dog who will truly adore you, you can't go past a
Cavalier! In the 5 years I've had Gypsy I've heard her bark twice, she's
fantastic with children (extremely tolerant) and if the coat maintenance deters
you simply have them clipped regularly. Fantastic temperament and those eyes
will melt your heart.
From Stacey, NYC I don't understand why this website gives Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
only two stars ("fair") for their temperament with children. We
have a Cavalier, and she is absolutely the gentlest dog we have ever had.
My husband and I also have a Pug and, between the two of us, have owned a Golden
Retriever, Wired Hair Terrier, West Highland Terrier, Cairn Terrier and Dachshund.
Although we have loved all of our dogs, none was as gentle as the Cavalier.
The Cavalier is also extremely playful - she will play "fetch" with a
ball all day, if you are willing to throw the ball that long. Our
veterinarian thinks that Cavaliers are absolutely the best family dog that you
can get, and told me that he has seen hundreds of them in his practice and has
never seen one that was aggressive.
