King Charles Cavalier Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel generally weighs 13-18 pounds and is known for a gentle, affectionate temperament. Cavaliers often make excellent family puppies because they usually enjoy children, adults, and other friendly pets, although young children should always be supervised.
Their silky coat sheds moderately and benefits from brushing several times each week. They typically need about 30-60 minutes of daily walking and play rather than intense exercise. The breed's usual life expectancy is about 12-15 years.
