Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Southern River

I have available 2 blenheim purebred male puppies. They will be ready for their new homes around 15th November at 10 weeks of age. These pups have been loving raised in our family room and used to the usual hustle and bustle of normal family life. Puppies have been wormed regularly, vet checked, 1st vaccination and microchipped (will be registered in new owners name when leaving). They come with a puppy pack which includes food, toys, heartbeat bear, blanket and information folder. Parents are both DNA tested and puppies will not be affected by any of the testable diseases. Cavaliers are companion dogs and thrive on the company of their family. They need to be inside dogs with access to outside. They are a combination of active/playful and need play time, walks etc and are always happy to snuggle up on the couch with you. If you are interested in meeting the pups please call me on 0403 130 291, I do not home pups by text or email.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Mount Barker

What a beautiful puppy! Would you like to make him part of your family? Mystic Maltaliers run a pet therapy program called Cuddles and Co – and visit 18 different aged care homes with small dogs, to interact and spend time with seniors – who get a great deal of enjoyment from the visits. Very often people who don’t engage anymore – come alive when our pet therapy pups visit and we are also able to provide comfort to the families of those whose relatives are palliative. We breed Maltaliers for pet therapy and we are adding Kirby (an 8 week old puppy) to our breeding program. We are looking for a wonderful guardian home for Kirby. He is your dog and lives with you and your family as a treasured family member. Between about 2 and 5 years old, Kirby will spend a few days with us to romance the ladies and make some beautiful puppies to help us keep our pet therapy program going. At conclusion, he will be desexed and live out the remainder of his life with his family. We are also looking for an individual who is interested in joining our pet therapy team with Kirby as their visiting dog. This is a casual par time paid role ($40 per hour). You would need to commit to two blocks of training of 7 weeks each at Burnside with Kirby so that he can gain his Canine Good Citizen Certificate. Must be located within South Australia. If you’d like to know more, please call Chris on: 0472 789 658

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Beeliar

Gracie, our beautiful 15month of King Charles Cavalier is looking for her forever home. Kept intending to be our next Mum however she didn't quite meet our high level of screening. Beautiful little dog for a pet home only. Pedigree Papers included No breeding rights will be steralised before rehomed. She has started to be bullied by our other 2 girls which has made her a bit shy and hence its time to find her the family she deserves where her confidence can thrive.

The Ultimate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Guide

About Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

If devotion had a face, it would look like a Cavalier staring lovingly at its owner. Their soft nature makes them perfect for kids, seniors, and anyone with a pulse. 

Cavaliers also greet strangers like long-lost family. Guard dog material? Absolutely not. 

This breed doesn’t just like people; it adores them. You’ll never pee alone again.

Origins

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is named after King Charles II of England, who was obsessed with the breed.

Back in the day, these dogs were like pocket-sized heating pads for noblewomen, keeping them warm during carriage rides and court gossip sessions.

They were also prized as flea magnets—literally. Royals believed Cavaliers would attract fleas away from their human companions, making them the original ‘pest control’ pups.

Over time, the breed was refined, with the modern Cavalier King Charles Spaniel emerging in the 1920s, sporting a longer muzzle and a more athletic build than its squish-faced cousin, the King Charles Spaniel.

Key Characteristics Of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

Are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Family-Friendly?

Cavaliers don’t just tolerate family life—they thrive on it. They’re the kind of dog that follows you from room to room, as if they’re conducting a security check (even though they’d probably help an intruder carry the loot out).

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels may suffer from:

Hip Dysplasia.

Heart Mitral Valve Disease

Entropion

Seizures

Patellar Luxation

Nature / Temperament

Floppy ears like silk ribbons, eyes that could melt the iciest heart, and a tail that wags like it’s powered by a battery—meet the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This small yet mighty pup has been charming its way into laps, beds, and hearts for centuries. 

Originally bred for royalty but equally happy on the couch with a packet of dog treats, this breed embodies everything people love in a canine companion.

Suitable Environment

Cavaliers aren’t fussy about where they live. Apartment, townhouse, sprawling country estate—they’ll make themselves at home as long as they’re near their people. However, they’re indoor dogs through and through.

Other Considerations

  • Cavaliers like to perch on windowsills or armrests, watching the world go by. Expect them to stare down the postie like it’s a life-or-death situation.
  • Many Cavaliers make adorable little snorting sounds in their sleep. It’s cute… until you’re trying to get some shut-eye.
  • You’ll never have to wonder where your Cavalier is—they’re stuck to your side like glue, whether you’re on the couch or in the shower.

How can I take good care of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

Nutrition

Cavaliers have a bottomless stomach and will happily scam their way into extra meals.

Stick to high-quality dry kibble or a raw diet tailored for small breeds. Avoid table scraps—especially anything high in fat, as they’re prone to pancreatitis.

Grooming

With their flowing, silky fur, Cavaliers have a coat that looks like it belongs on a show dog, but that beauty comes with maintenance.

Regular brushing is a must to prevent knots and tangles, particularly around their ears, chest, and legs where the fur is longest.

Exercise

Cavaliers strike a balance between being energetic and laid-back, making them a great fit for a range of households.

A solid daily walk, paired with some playtime at home, is usually enough to keep them fit. They enjoy a bit of a run-around at the park but are just as happy pottering along at a leisurely pace beside you.

Training

Cavaliers are people-pleasers at heart, which makes them easy to train if you know what you’re doing.

They respond best when training sessions feel like a game rather than a drill, and rewards—whether in the form of treats, praise, or belly rubs—go a long way in reinforcing good behaviour.

House training can take a little longer than expected, so patience and consistency are essential.

Their eager-to-please nature means they pick up basic commands quickly, but their love for food can lead to selective hearing, especially when there’s something tastier on offer than whatever you’re trying to teach them.

This information is general and should not be relied upon for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Questions

Since the Cavalier is a well-loved and popular species, reputable Cavalier breeders compete for the market — as such, they must conduct a battery of tests and health checks to be considered good breeders. Cavalier puppies for sale cost between $1500 – $2200 on average.

Yes, they’re fantastic family dogs. Their gentle nature makes them great with children, but small kids should be taught to handle them carefully.

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of having a Cavalier as a first dog is their gentle and friendly personality. They love people and get along with just about everyone—kids, seniors, other pets, and even complete strangers. Unlike some breeds that require firm, experienced handling, Cavaliers respond well to positive reinforcement training and quickly pick up basic commands. They’re intelligent but not stubborn, making training a rewarding experience rather than a frustrating one.

Yes, these are two different dog breeds. The muzzle of the King Charles Spaniel is much shorter and flatter than that of its counterpart. King Spaniels also have dome-shaped heads while Cavaliers have flat-shaped heads.
