Five Facts About Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
- There are four recognized colors of cavaliers: Blenheim (rich chestnut on pearly white background), tricolor (black and white with tan markings), black and tan (black with tan markings), and ruby (rich red all over).
- A breed similar to the cavalier was very popular in England during the reign of Charles I — it was the official house pet. Charles II decreed that no King Charles Spaniel could be refused entrance to a public building.
- Interbreeding with other breeds produced the shorter-snouted King Charles Spaniel. Roswell Eldrige, an American, started breeding longer-snouted King Charles Spaniels in the early 1900s, resulting in today’s current CKCS.
- President Ronald Reagan’s dog, Rex, was a cavalier.
- Cavaliers King Charles Spaniels are cute!
