Cavalier Owners
In the 1920's Roswell Eldridge offered prize money at Cruft's Dog Show in London to anyone exhibiting these Spaniels with a longer nose as they had appeared in King Charles II paintings. By the 1940's these dogs were classified as a unique breed given the prefix "Cavalier" to differentiate them from their forebears. They are great family dogs. They will lay around with you or will accompany you on walks. When selecting one of these dogs, it is important to check the medical history of several previous generations because of the possibility of over breeding due to their popularity. They are easy to train and get along with other dogs. They require lots of grooming. These dogs weigh 12 to 18 lbs. and stand 12-13" at the shoulders.
