The Colors of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel:
The following colors are permitted according to the breed standard:
- Solid Red or Rust (a.k.a : Ruby). A Ruby that is truly 100% liver-colored is highly prized. But many lovely Rubys have small patches of white somewhere in their coats.
- Black and Tan. The whole body is black, with specific areas of tan.
-Tri-ccolored: ( Black and White with tan spots).The ears and area surrounding the eyes will be black, separated by a splash of white. Tricolors have tan markings over the eyes, on the cheeks and beneath the tail. This color combination is the most unusual and often carries the highest price tag.
-Blenheim: (Chestnut brown areas on white). It is a tribute to Blenheim Palace where the Duke of Marlborough raised this popular breed.

Thanks for your great blog post! My Cavalier, Bentley, is definitely BOTH my best companion and a bird dog. It makes me laugh out loud to see him chase after birds! He’ll even chase a bird’s shadow!
I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to put a link to this post in my next newsletter for our website http://www.I-Love-Cavaliers.com. I think all my Cavalier-loving friends will enjoy it.
