The Cavalier is an elegant, long bodied and floppy eared breed. Small and slim, they are very much a lap dog. One of the gentlest of breeds, they are friendly with all people, both family and strangers, and are well suited as companion dogs too. This breed is one that especially needs company, and is not suited to long spells alone.
The Cavalier is usually a good dog to train, being flexible, easy going, and eager to please. They have medium to high energy needs, and love to walk, run, and to play. Despite this they tend to be relaxed and laid back in a house or apartment. Their double coated fur requires daily brushing, and at least monthly washing to keep it lush and healthy. A typical lifespan is 10-12 years.
