We lost our beautiful black and tan, Farley, a year ago. When I first saw Barkley, my heart skipped a beat.. God bless little Barkley and his new family.

Goodbye to sweet funny handsome Barkley! I know his new Family is over the moon to be receiving him at Christmas! Once again, a beautiful healthy puppy to a loving home thanks to you Charlie and all of your family’s commitment & care!

Little Barkley is a beautiful blessing! His new family is very lucky to be getting such a treasure. Best wishes to them all and God bless! 🐶♥️

Thank you for another lovely video. Bye to adorable Barkley!

Going to miss seeing Barkley But love seeing Bella ❣️

Barkley, I am going to miss you! Have fun with in your new home. Barkley and Bella in that cozy bed is the cutest thing ever!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

I’m so glad that Barkley is finally going to a new home where he will be much loved . He’s such a lovely little boy and it’s a shame it didn’t work out first time round. Bye bye Barkley 👋 Thank you for all your wonderful videos and expert advice this year. Happy Christmas to you, your family and of course all of your lovely Cavaliers.

I love to wash and dry my Charlie and lots of cuddles and 😘 kisses!

I'll never forget my sisters suprised "they have a fifth claw... like a thumb" when she first learned about the dew claw on our cavalier. I was relieved because I remembered feeling and seeing it a while back and thought I'd gone crazy. Fortunately we got their nails trimmed by more capable hands most of the time.

Barkley's new family is so fortunate.

What is the most important thing to keep your dog healthy? Of course, it is important to treat your dog when it gets sick, but it is equally important to take care of it and prevent it from getting sick. To do this, we recommend that you communicate with your dog on a daily basis to keep track of his or her health condition, and consult your veterinarian immediately if you notice anything out of the ordinary. For the sake of your beloved dog, strive for early detection and early treatment through frequent checkups and regular checkups at the veterinary clinic.🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶😻😻😻😻😻

Barkley looks like he’s a sleepy boy. I’m sure you’re going to miss him. I’d be so sad to have to say goodbye to the puppies. Merry Christmas to you and your family and adorable dogs.❤️💚

Merry Christmas Barkley from me and my B/T Barkley!

Oh no! Barkley was my fav!

Thought Barkley had already been homed, he is such a beautiful boy ❤️

Your puppies are precious, but not everyone understands the work or responsibility for taking care of a Cavalier. Or sometimes their situation changes. Whatever, your family always takes good care of your puppies. Wishing Barklay a happy home and a Merry Christmas to you and yours, including Cavaliers.

Bye Barkley. You'll be fine in your new home. You've had a good start in life.

I want Barkley to meet our cavalier, Cara. I'm in Boston too!

Ooh goodbye 🥰

What a cutie--this color way (and Bella too) would do well in red clay western NC LOL. Using a hair dryer or vacuum or anything with that persistent noise is such a help to the new owners. Our breeder had had pups in house part of day with daily sounds and Gemma didn't even pay attention to a vacuum or hair dryer when we got her. Our Standard Poodles were groomed from an very early age so they all were good on a grooming table from the beginning but Gemma (our tri) was not--a good thing to get them used to, makes it so much easier. Goodbye Barkley--hope he has a wonderful dog's life in Boston.

Noise socialization is an important part of what we do as breeders. Some people think that young puppies should be left alone, but getting them accustomed to touch, sound, and other sensory stimulation helps tremendously later in life.

@@chaskat35 and I have noticed that as I've watched many of your videos. They are part of your life as Cavs need to be. You are good responsible breeders and I think all the new owners of your pups will be so happy with them for all that attention when they are young--ready for a Cavalier's life.

Charlie, can you please recommend how leave bangs for black and tan cavalier in place without it falling into her face. Looks like Barkley is still young and not have enough hair on his head yet. I have 3 years old and her hear is always in her eyes. Thank you very much. Just wanted to say, we watch your channel all the time, Apple is our favorite 😊

Apple and Bella both have a tendency toward long hairs on the top of their heads. If you clip them off, you would leave too many hairs that will be dull and tend to mat. I use a hand stripping technique that actually removes the hairs at the follicle, stimulating growth of new, healthy, and silky hair. Stripping is not something that most pet owners can do without getting instruction from an experienced dog show handler or groomer. There's lots of good information in this article: www.playbarkrun.com/hand-stripping-dogs/

Thank you so much Charlie. I do use rake to remove dull hair. My mistake was trusting her with inexperienced groomer who cut her bangs so short and now it’s always in her eyes

Not sure exactly why the first family changed their minds, but we always believed it was best for the puppy if we allow maximum flexibility for the prospective owners. The good news is that the family that has him now is one we know well (they took one of our puppies 11 years ago) and they are keeping the name. Good thing - he already answers to it!

My two Cavaliers had their dew claws taken out before I even got them so you don't take yours out is there a reason why?

@chaskat35

Years ago, I routinely removed dew claws when the puppies were 4 days old. It was difficult to hear their cries, but I always felt it was worth it. Current research shows that it's not beneficial to remove front dew claws. First, the dew claws are attached to muscles higher up in the front legs, and cutting them off actually cuts the tendons that attach to those muscles. Studies are now showing that the muscles are more likely to atrophy if the dew claws are removed, and there are also indications that there is a higher risk of painful arthritis. Second, the front dew claws actually serve a purpose. When a dog is moving fast and has to make a turn, the front paws dig in to the ground, and the dew claws make contact to give the dog more traction. While this affects performance dogs (such as agility competitors) more, even non-athletic dogs can be negatively affected by the increase in rotation of the leg when running that's caused by the absence of dew claws. Of course, having the dew claws in place means that the owner has to be vigilant about making sure that they are trimmed regularly, and not allowed to grow in a circle. Rear dew claws are rare in Cavaliers, but if they are present, they don't carry the same danger of removal, and in fact should be removed to prevent being accidentally ripped off.

He was actually called Pancho. We had a home lined up for him, but they changed their minds, so he stayed with us a bit longer than the others. But they had already picked out Barkley as his name, and we started using it, so he learned that as his name. We didn't want to confuse him, and it's a cute name, so we stuck with Barkley. The new owners love it too.

There was a good-looking ruby boy we called Mezzo, who was adopted by the son of a woman who took one of our puppies years ago, and his wife. They now call him Grady, and they are taking wonderful care of him.

Maybe use a quiet model of hairdryer.

Will his new parents allow him to visit Bella and the others? I sure hope so.

Why not get rid of their dew claws, they really don’t need them. I had my vet get rid of them when they were one day old, and caused them no trauma

All 6 of our Standard Poodles had them removed but this is part of dealing with grooming in the future--their feet get trimmed and dew claws are a hazard. I'm guessing Cavs don't have theirs done since as they are shown they are expected to be unclipped, uncolored, natural. Just a guess.

In the old days, I used to remove dew claws when the pups were a few days old. I always worried about the possibility of infection from cuting them off, and it also bothered me that the puppies would cry loudly when I did it. But then there was a study a few years ago that showed a greater incidence of orthopedic problems in the front legs of dogs that had dew claws removed. There are tendons and muscles attached to the dew claws, and they can atrophy as a result of removal. Also, the dew claws can serve a purpose - they help grip the ground when the dog is making a hard running turn, or when digging itself out from a hole. As long as they are regularly trimmed, they are better left in place.
