Cavalier Talk

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel loves to be with its family and craves attention. It is cheerful, playful, and intelligent. They are generally well behaved, but can sometimes be timid or stubborn.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel gets along well with children, other dogs, and household pets. It is friendly, happy, and loving. Cavaliers are devoted to loved ones but can be suspicious around strangers. Cavaliers do not bark frequently, but sometimes around new situations their suspicious nature can lead to bouts of barking, but owners can usually quiet them down quickly when needed.

As a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ages it can become more difficult to add a new puppy into the family. If you have a Cavalier that is over 5 years of age try to test your Cavalier’s acceptance of another puppy before bringing in a new addition. Temperament of a new Cavalier puppy is very important when combining a puppy with an older Cavalier. The Cavalier puppy cannot have a top dog personality and must be submissive naturally…calm…easy-going.

Here at Cruisin Cavaliers (www.cruisincavaliers.com) we temperament test our Cavalier puppies which helps us match our puppy’s temperament with an adoptive family’s lifestyle. Since temperament can be molded as a Cavalier puppy continues to develop our temperament analysis is only a snapshot in time, but the original set temperament will be the temperament a Cavalier puppy will resort to in times of change or stressful situations.
