Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Trundle

**** 2 babies remaining; our gorgeous girl "Lightning" and our pretty boy "Junior" are waiting to be adopted by a loving family ❤️ Lightning was born with a tiny white shape on her head that looked like a lightning strike. She is very playful, loving and maybe a little on the bossy side with her siblings. Junior is named after his father Shadow, he is a spitting image of him, very affectionate with a shy disposition that can turn a little mischievous. They are 8 weeks on Saturday (8th) weaned from mum and ready for loving homes *** We have our 2nd beautiful litter of purebred Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies born 14 December 2024 to our loveable girl Shine (mother) and handsome boy Shadow (father). Mum and dad have no known health issues and are up to date with their vet visits and vaccinations. I am a registered breeder with the Responsible Pet Breeders Australia (RPBA10290). This is not a “business” for me or simply a business transaction as Shadow and Shine are our loving family companions. My girls and I love the experience and enjoyment received in helping raise these beautiful natured puppies and seeing the excitement and joy in the faces of their new owners. Shine is such a wonderful mum to her puppies; she cares for them so much and its lovely to see how proud she is of them. Puppies are nearly 8 weeks old and fully weaned from mum onto premium Black Hawk puppy food. They are all healthy, affectionate and playful puppies, each having developed their own unique personalities/looks and we have thoughtfully and tentatively named them accordingly. Puppies are brought up on our family farm in Central West NSW, we have young children and many other animals for the puppies to socialise with, our cats are especially fond of them. Puppies have been wormed every 2 weeks from birth. They have been vet health checked, microchipped and received their 1st puppy vaccination. Our babies will only go to the best of homes and preferably pet only homes, happy to send photos, video clips and organise facetime. To secure a puppy we would kindly require a $500.00 deposit. Junior – 900164002306648 (Boy) Lightning - 900164002306619 (Girl) We are happy to meet for pick up in Dubbo, Orange, Parkes or Forbes if required. We also have a Messenger group chat of Shine’s 1st litter where all our puppy parents share photos, experiences and updates which you are welcome to join if you become one of our puppy parents. Please call or text if you have any questions. No time wasters please. Thank you.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Southern River

I am taking expressions of interest in 4 beautiful ruby male Cavalier pups. Bred from DNA tested and health cleared parents (both available to meet). Puppies come wormed regularly, vet checked, vaccinated and microchipped and ready to go around 22nd January when 10 weeks of age. Puppies are raised in our family room and used to normal household noises etc. When weather permits they now have some outside time, usually in the early morning before it gets hot. Cavaliers are gentle dogs, and fit into most households. They are looking for homes where they will be valued family members and included in daily activities. They are companion dogs and not suited to being left alone for long periods on a regular basis. If you are interested please contact Charmaine on 0403 130 291 for more information and to arrange a meeting. I have been a registered breeder for over 20 years with the prefix GEMSONG. I am a fully audited member of Responsible Pet Breeders.

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.
