Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

A Cavalier gives a new owner the most affection for the least exercise: one decent walk a day satisfies it, it wants to be wherever you are and its eager-to-please, patient nature rarely holds a clumsy correction against you. The frank part is health. Mitral valve disease is expected in more than half of Cavaliers by age five, and the skull malformation behind syringomyelia is near universal in the breed. Insist on parents with heart clearances and MRI screening, and budget for insurance from day one.
