Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are descended from the King Charles Spaniel and other small Toy Spaniels seen in many sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century paintings. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was shown in the Toy group of the AKC beginning in 1996. This beautiful and genteel toy breed has dark round expressive eyes that are large but not prominent. They have a conical muzzle and a flat skull. They have a shallow stop, with well developed nose and wide nostrils. The ears are long with abundant feathering. They have a silky coat that comes in four colors: ruby, black & tan, tri-color, and blenheim (red and white). Star's Glory Cavaliers have cavaliers and often puppies from all four color types.
Cavaliers are eager, affectionate, and extremely friendly to all. "Stranger" just isn't in their vocabulary! They are intelligent enough to understand what you want and therefore are usually easy to train and respond well to gentle obedience training. They are said to be naturally well behaved and get along well with other dogs and non-canine pets. Cavalier's love people and need lots of companionship to be happy.

Cavaliers are moderately active indoors and do well in an apartment, or with a small yard. They do not do well in very warm conditions. Whatever exercise you can provide will be just fine with this adaptable dog, as they will adapt to your family's circumstances. However, they greatly enjoy a good romp in the park.
