Dog Training

If you were an avid follower of the hit tv series Sex and the City, you wouldn’t fail to catch a glimpse of this classy breed which Charlotte York fashionably keeps as a pet- the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This TV star of a dog looks undeniably elegant, classy and regal with its medium length wavy locks and petite size. Additionally, not only does it appear on television today but centuries ago, this same breed was depicted in paintings and tapestries of royals and nobles such as King Charles II.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, also fondly nicknamed Cav or Cavie, is hailed as the “ultimate lap dog” and the “love sponge of dogs.” This breed belongs to the toy dog group and is one of the most favorite lap dogs in Europe. It loves companionship from both humans and animals and is equable even to breeds larger than itself.

The Cavie is known to be friendly with little children and welcoming to other creatures, and for being not disconcerted by the noise and chaos of the city. Because of these traits, this pet is cited as a perfect companion to the urban dwellers. Despite its playfulness as well, the Cavie is actually a well-behaved dog and so it gives an effect of calmness and relaxation to its master.

Like the Cocker Spaniel, this breed looks snottily hairy but looks elegantly sweet and affable. It has ears that are long and drooping and which are densely covered with medium-length hair. Its face, looking endearing and regal, possesses a distinct kind of nose and large, round eyes.

The texture of its coat is fairly smooth and always appears medium in length, and fairly wavy but never curly. The coat comes in colors of Blenheim, Tricolor, Black and Tan, and Ruby which are the widely accepted colors. As a young dog, the Cavie does not really possess a hairy body but reaching adulthood, the hair grows tremendously all over particularly on its ears, chest, legs and tail.

Affectionate, fearless and outgoing; this dog will socialize without hesitation to any group of animals and humans. In some cases, this can be good for you know you won’t have any problems with the Cavie starting a fight or growling with another pet. The downside, however, since it is too friendly, it might not realize the fact that some larger breeds are vicious and so will end up as an unaware prey of the meaner dogs.

This creature has a funny way of welcoming new friends, too, as it usually licks the hand of the new comer first before being deeply acquainted with them. It also has an impulsive trait of chasing whatever it deemed as small game in its surroundings such as butterflies, birds, squirrel or cats. In this case, it is a must to watch over them intently when you are going for a walk for this dog is oblivious of the speeding cars around it and might just jump out on the street in its chase of the mesmerizing butterfly.

When it comes to exercise, the Cavie does not need much unlike the bigger dog breeds. Take them for a daily walk and regular frolic on ample spaced areas so as to keep their mind and body healthy. The coat is also low maintenance as it needs occasional bathing or dry shampooing only and frequent coat brushing especially on the ears areas.
