Guys I have wanted a dog my whole life and now it's finally got a chance of happening. It would be helpful if you could answer a few questions about king Charles. First of all, I have a pet hamster, so would the dog be constantly trying to eat it? Also how would I be able to prevent a dog from putting my hamster in danger? Also my dog would be on its own for 6 hours a day, is that ok or is it not good enough. Lastly I'm wondering if dogs chew wires and if so how would I prevent it?

@@lukehiorns5079 1. King charles were originally bred as hunting dogs. They may be gentle but they are capable of rough play. They might accidentally kill your hamster even if they don't intend to. I don't think their intention is to "eat" it. They just want to hunt or play. 2. Your hamster will have to be caged at all times to ensure its safety. King charles won't try to break into the cages. 3. King charles are prone to separation anxiety. They prefer the company of their humans than other things. They hate being alone. 2 hours is long for them, but of course, you can always use positive reinforcement to get them used to your absence. I bring home treats for them when I have to work longer hours, so they have something to look forward to. 4. Get wire protectors. They're not expensive. I've had 3 King charles and none are interested in chewing wires after their teething stage is over (3-4 months old) so I don't think this is a big issue. I buy them deer bones and pig trotters to keep them occupied. It also helps with the separation anxiety thing. They're awesome dogs. Very loving, friendly, and cheerful to everybody. I have other breeds but my heart goes to king charles always.

Hate? Where? In this video? As an cavalier owner he's spot on. Our dog hates it when we leave and we have to crate her otherwise she will literally use the house as a chew toy. She does like to "hunt" as we learned when she would let go of a baby bird she found. We left a gate open once and she ran and was so excited to smell and seek. Although her friendly side helped cause she ended up waiting at a house around the corner and was happy to do a sleep over with those strangers (haha). She can be a good "guard" dog because she loves to bark and gets excited by anyone at the door (or seen approaching)... But once they are in she's loving them and getting pet and licking.

YES SIR, VERY INTELLIGENT!

My childhood dog was a tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Choco. He was the kindest mannered and most affectionate dog I've ever encountered. Everyone who met him loved him, and he loved everyone he met . Like a lot of dog breeds however King Charles Spaniels have a litany of health issues that they are prone to. By age three he was deaf, by age four he had a heart murmur which only got worse, by age five we had to put drops in his eyes every day otherwise he would have gone blind. By age nine he had Cushings disease, back issues and many others. We cared for Choco as best as we could and always took him to the vet when we thought something was wrong and gave him the medicine they prescribed. He had an exceptional quality of life given his various ailments. In the end he died at 10 years old which is actually quite a good age for his breed. I love Choco and always will. I would however encourage people considering this breed to think about getting a mutt. They are far longer lived and will suffer less genetic issues that affect their quality of life. Rest in peace Choco.

Her name is stella and shes a princess we dont spoil her tooooo much but she is the perfect amount of brat and behaved. She loves to walk and she is honestly knows to be the sweetest dog when people meet her. My mom rescued her 3 years ago and i wish anyone interested in the breed could meet her.

Wonderful affectionate sweet and with obedience training and reinforcement, excellent behavior. They love everyone. Yes,they want you with them and I love that about them. They come with manners. Can't get enough of this fabulous breed

5 reasons I love this breed. We are expecting our 2nd one soon. They are perfect for retired folks.

Great video! You perfectly described my daughter’s two Cavaliers! I love them so very much and it hurts my heart to see how as their family added children and other pets these poor , sweet dogs are not the fit they once were. They are bred to be a companion , a person in a dogs body essentially, and wear their hearts on their sleeves! Jake looks you in the face and instead of just barking, you can see he tries so very hard to form words to talk with you💖Thank you for your video I hope it makes people think long and hard before committing to Cavalier!

I agree with some of what you said but mine has a few different things then you said, I love my king Charles so much, I look forward to seeing more of you x

Thanks for this video. I am a cavalier owner of 9 years and looking to get a second. Your number one reason for not getting a KC cavalier is so important. They absolutely can NOT be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. If you have to leave a dog home all day every day while at work, please do not get a cavalier. It is painful for them to be alone. But on the other hand, they are easy to take with -- and other people are usually very happy to see them. If you get two or more you can leave them longer. I do not agree that they do not need exercise, though. They do -- not as much as a big dog, but remember they were bred to run along on the hunt as well as to be lap dogs. My cav walks between 2-4 miles a day and does very well on 6 mile hikes -- even at 9 yrs old. Cavs do better when they get enough exercise.

I just got a 9 week girl and I love her shes so easy to train, loves calm walks, knows when to play and sleep. She’s my best smuggle buddy for tv and best bud for everything. You should get one!!!

OMG I have one obsessed with chasing shadows. Hilarious I never knew that was a Cavalier thing.

My cavi Annie who passed away in early April was the sweetest, most gentle dog there was. She never had any heart problems, either. She was good with peoples cats, and my bearded dragon (just let him walk all over her,). And she and my boy Benny (Cavalier x Maltese x Bichon) got along so well ever since I brought her home a year after him. She loved for 11 years- not nearly enough time for me, I’d choose forever if I could. Dogs are just perfect.

We have a Black and Tan Cav x Labrador. He’s definitely more of a Cav though than his siblings. He’s absolutely the best puppy ever. Ideal for a family, he’s just so beautiful and fun, especially with the kids. They are a wonderful breed and highly recommended.

These are the beat dogs ever! My dog, (who is also my profile photo) is just the best. Another one of my family members didn't even want a dog, but they instantly fell in love with out cavalier! I love this breed.

I like the fact that Will is honest, he also did a show to give us the amazing qualities of same breed. I believe he is giving us all the information so that we can make a wise decision ! Thank you for all your hard work 😎

We picked up our Spaniel up from a local shelter... of the 50 dogs in the place barking, yipping, jumping and running... All the other families and kids were fighting over those pups. Meanwhile, when we saw her, she was sitting quietly, still, with those big sweet eyes, just looking at us. Love at first sight. 7 years ago. She's been more like having a house cat than a dog. Just laying and loving. Amazing companion for our now 3 year old. During apartment life she never made a sound, which was perfect. Never once woke the baby. :-) We've heard her bark 10 times in all those years. Not 10 outbursts... 10 individual barks. She wiggles and whines as soon as one of us comes home with that sweet smiling face. Now I sit waiting to hear back from the vet to see if she has cancer or not. She's, at best guess, 9 years old at this point. :-( Sweet little thing.

He's spot on with this. Reason #1 is absolutely correct. We could not leave our cav for more than 4-5 hours without her going off the rails. And our cav was an excellent guard dog, not quite barking at falling leaves, but would start barking when the mail carrier was a good 4-5 houses down the street and we could not hear anything. Literally a lap dog. Literally.

I think it's really important to know about their health risks and problems... It can be hard, but in my opinion it's much better to get sad right now instead of facing those problems on practice, which would be much harder. A good percentage of them might get syringomyelia, which makes their skull a bit small for their brains, and I think it also affects their spine... It brings them frequent pain and treatments not always work. Some Cavaliers had to die because of it. The signs of that disease are not always obvious either, sometimes it might be excessive head scratching, etc. And that's not the only disease they're likely to have...

Thanks for the information. They are such a beautiful dog. My friend had one years ago i've always wanted one. Your advice is exactly why I don't have one right now. But I plan on retiring in the next few years. This is when I hope to have a king cavalier. I love to groom my pets. I'm a very hands-on pet owner. So taking care of them is never a problem.

My Cavalier is pretty active - he loves long hikes or walks of say an hour and hiking moderately difficult trails. He does have a very strong hunting instinct and will scent track but will also obey when called. Very loving towards everyone and loyal. Doesn’t like to be alone more than an hour and will do anything to command attention! Lol.

My Cav is exactly what you are describing. Great breed!

We are on our 4th American cocker spaniel. Currently there are two in our home. Just love this breed but a cavalier is next!

I've had my cavalier for 3 years now & he is the absolute best dog ever. I have to say from experience that your first point is not true. My cavalier is neutered & 3 years old & he has a crazy high energy level. We go on 4 mile runs together a few times a week & he runs so fast that he pulls me. I would say an accurate statement is that they can adapt to any energy level. My cavie is 18lbs for reference. He is perfect for my travel & apartment living.

You are awesome!! Spaniels are incredible and you share an enormous amount of information, thank you! 💕 video suggestion: spaniels vs all other breeds. Like for those looking at Golden retrievers or chihuahua. What traits about spaniels set them apart from all other groups of dogs.

Thanks for watching and the ideas for future videos!

He. I clicked on your quiz link below, mate. . It took me to a shop. Try as imight I couldn’t find a quiz

I own a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Australian Shepherd or Blue Heeler mix. He's both loving and hyperactive. I say he's aggressively affectionate.

Spot on about the breed, we have king charles/shitzu and she is 90 % what you described, sweet dogs, and fortunately we spend a lot of time with her, but would be dog owners should educate themselves before making the commitment!! thanks for posting!!

wow, mine should be the execption than :D she is extremely active, always up for a hike, easily walks 10 + km with me, most of the time she is of the leash, never leaves my side (i let her run free in wooded areas where there no cars and she never wonders off) , she is protective of me and my home, barks at strangers who tries to enter the apartment and tries to escort them out :D and she is perfectly healthy, just celebrated her 13th birthday in january :)

Over the last month theres been 4 families that have gotten one of these. And they ALL go to the same coffee shop as me and are all super excited when i show up cause... omg 4 of these things as puppies will absolutely melt your heart! They are my best friends and i hope to get one soon!!!

I have to say this was a fair and honest video. You hit all the high points. But once you realize they are one of the cutest puppies you've ever seen, and they become your absolute best friend upon eye contact, if you give this breed any serious consideration and meet one, you'll find that love sponge in you lap soon, And you will never regret that decision. I have two and would gladly have a third. They are a happy, fun, playful breed, who live to please you, even when you catch them being naughty.

Lol. I was a prior owner for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel; we loved him so much. I agree with everything you just said, except ONE more item to add - it's very very pricy if you don't have a budget. A Cavalier King Charles is like a diamond. People will buy 3 to 10 times than gold. Lol.

Im already committed to getting one lmao but I am here to learn. Im so excited to meet my puppy in 2 weeks ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (My whole family has cavaliers, we love them)

I found your video because I am getting one today ❤ So excited!!!!

I just purchased one a blue mural coat so beautiful and such a loving and chill breed

I have had a lot of great dogs, but our king charles cavalier is the absolute best dog I have ever owned. Seriously

My Cavalier is the complete opposite of your description other than the sweet demeanor. He is super high energy and active and is still ready to walk after a 5 mile walk. I take him to my cabin and he creek walks, goes on hikes, and never wondered out of my site. He is a tick magnet so be prepared for spending over an hour going through due to remove those little buggers. I do keep him on a leash around streets because he will dart after a squirrel 🐿 in a blink of an eye.

It sound like you have a lovely dog! Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences

Totally agree with everything in this video, but since owning the breed one of the biggest reasons to not get a cavalier is their proneness to Syringomyelia, / CLM (chiari-like malformation). This causes them constant pain and my one needs a dose of pain killers on a daily basis and for those who know, with as much love and joy that they bring to your home, there's equal amounts of heartbreak when they're in pain. When we're ready to get another one, we're definitely making sure to do all the necessary checks on the pup as breeders are trying to breed out these qualities.

Ok now I’m glad it’s not just my cavalier 😅 I love this breed to no end

They are beautiful and I adore mine x having said that the guy is defo right they can get under your feet and trip you up so be careful. Ours does like to bark like mad at the postman x also she will run off to hunt the instinct is in her. Fortunately we live rural so it's not a problem but do be careful if you live in urban areas. Our last cav got a scent when off lead and ran . He was hit by a car lucky he survived and lived a long happy life but our vet said he would just go with smell of a scent . Our cavalier is absolutely ideal now that I'm older. When young we had an extremely boisterous labrador. Adored him totally. But I couldn't manage one now due to arthritis in my shoulder x our cavalier is just perfect also she likes the right amount of exercise we can manage. As for her coat I agree they can get in knots and mat . I have mine groomed regularly but I also dont keep her coat long at all. We have her clipped short because we go in the countryside and fields so it's really not good to keep it long. Also long hair on the ears can cause infections. I wouldn't be without mine no way and she is an absolute gem. But I do agree that she wouldn't want to be left a lot. However I would say that about any dog. If you are not at home a lot and haven't got time it's not fair to have a dog as it's like locking them in a prison all day.

Dude what you described is Litterialy what I need

I really appreciate videos like this. Cavs are great but as with all breeds, they have traits that don't suit everyone.

I had one but I had to put it down and they are really good I understand the range

My guy is a 1.5yr old, first time having a Cavalier - he is the absolute best. Constant ear cleaning/grooming is the only issue I've had. One thing I don't believe was mentioned was the breeds propensity for heart issues. Was the first thing my vet brought up

Sounds like my perfect dog!

I have a King Charles spaniel called lady because of my fav movie as a kid lady and the tramp! My dog loves walking along side me and my family on walks off the leash. My dog doesn’t bark unless any cats are in her territory (the garden) but she doesn’t chase the cats she goes and gets my mum, me or my older brother or my dad to deal with it. She is such a kind little dog she’s also 8 years old and looks like a puppy! King Charles spaniels are the perfect breed for me! xx

As a Cavalier King Charles Owner, you got all the points correct. Especially on the scent trails.. My biggest drawback of owning a Cavalier King Charles owner is their short life span for a small dog. However, I love my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and they are great dogs. I agree the dog is not for everyone. They do need lots of TLC, and attention to their paws. As for walking, I take mine on 7 miles walks, and he is okay with that..

Will you are amazing. I am a dog lover but never owned a dog. Can never (may be some day??) Own my favorite breed Cane Corso. I didn't know about Cavalier King Charles Spaniel , but they seem to be perfect for me! I love the look of the breed, out of small dogs this size they are the most beautiful in my opinion. Thank you for posting this

I love my Cav .I have a broken knee and am in a brace and he refuses to let me go down the steps by myself and limps down with me. .so sweet

Very very good. Any advice how to acquire one?

This guy is spot on about Cavs. We have one. But I would add even more reasons not to get one. Trust me!! And I feel that ours is one of the sweetest and smartest. I would only recommend one to someone that is retired and has plenty of time on their hands, has plenty of money for veterinary care, and has a fence. Ours is 5 years old.
