Are The Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Puppies MI Breeders Offer A Good Fit For You

By Raymond Moore


You don't even have to be a dog lover, to take one look at any spaniel breed and fall in love. No variety of the breed captures the attention of potential owners more than the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels puppies MI breeders show off. They can make people forget they don't have the time, room, or financial resources to own a pet. Before you commit to one of these beauties, you need to know what you are getting into.

Cavaliers are small, gentle animals that work well for people who don't have much space. Most of them weigh around fifteen pounds and stand about a foot tall as adults. They can live comfortably in a condo or loft apartment. Cavaliers are not docile dogs. Most of them have a stubborn, independent streak. Training them isn't too hard, as long as they understand who is in charge.

If you are going to have one of these dogs in your house, you have to understand how much companionship they need. Cavaliers need a human or another pet around all the time. Without company they get separation anxiety, which can lead to destructive behavior, whining, and constant barking.

You might think these are sedentary animals, because they look like they would love to sit and cuddle all day. Although they can be lap dogs, they are also full of energy and love to be active. They will need several daily walks to burn off extra energy. You have to keep them on a leash because they are runners and chasers.

The downside about owning one of these dogs is that almost all of them have health issues. By the time they turn five half of them suffer from heart and neurological problems. Almost one hundred percent of the Cavaliers that reach ten years of age have heart disease. In addition, many inherit epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and eye conditions.

These are great dogs for people who love a sweet natured animal that will never be a good watch dog. If you work from home or have a flexible schedule, with plenty of time to devote to your pet, a Cavalier could work for you. You should also have the financial resources necessary to pay for costly veterinary care.

If animals that are naturally shy and timid, unless you have taken the time to socialize them, annoy you, a Cavalier might not be a good choice. These dogs have to be groomed several times a week to keep their coats in top condition. They will shed all over your furniture without it. If you can't face the possibility of a pet that needs medication, you should pass on one of these puppies.

Cavaliers are beautiful animals with huge, soulful eyes that can melt your heart. They have big hearts of their own, and love their owners. Those same hearts are often defective however, and may shorten the life your pet.
