The Temperament of a Cavalier….
The Cavalier is a highly affectionate little dog. Due to this fact, some have called the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel “the ultimate lap dog” or the “love sponge” of dogs. Ideal representatives of this elegant little dog are playful, patient and eager to please. It is thus not surprising that Cavaliers are great with children and other dogs. A well-socialized Cavalier will not be afraid to be around larger dogs. Some Cavaliers however, may presume that all other dogs to be just as friendly, and may attempt to greet and play with aggressive dogs. As you can imgaine, this can get really dangerous!
Cavaliers will adapt quickly to almost any environment, family, and location. Their ability to bond with larger and smaller dogs make them ideal in houses with more than one breed of dog. Cavaliers are great with children as well as seniors;making them a very versatile dog breed! Since they lovee to be around all ages, they also make ideal therapy dogs for elderly people or sickly children. The breed is most comfortable in areas where the temperature is moderate. The extremely social nature of the Cavalier means that they require almost constant companionship from humans or other dogs. This breed may develop seperation anxiety and are thus not suited to being left on their own. This breed is the friendliest of the toy group. An overall magical little dog!
