Things To Consider Before Taking On The Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Puppy

By Stephen Williams


You are probably reading this article right now because you are looking for a new pet or puppy for company and friendship. You may have set your eyes upon a Cavalier King Charles Spaniels puppy and are excited to start your adventure by purchasing or adopting one, especially after insistence from friends or what you have seen on the net. Before you do make the final plunge, do read on in this article to see if you will be able to handle this puppy.

This breed is by no means cheap and can set you back anything from 1800 dollars to 3000 dollars give or take. The real price will definitely be determined by overall demand and supply as well as breeding lines and champion breeding lines if any. It is not a cheap breed and so you need to know more about it before committing to it.

It may cost you a pretty penny for the health and maintenance of this dog. It will be prone to hereditary hernia and heart complications and will develop eye and knee joint problems later on as it ages. The average range for it to live is around 9 to 13 years more or less.

It is however a lovable pet to have and it loves human companionship. It is a dog that loves to settle on your lap as much as possible and will snuggle and cuddle up to soft pillows and blankets if you let it. This dog is quite easy to train and will be willing to please and responds quite well to praises and treats.

It must be noted that at times it can be overly dependent on human companionship and thus may give it separation anxiety sometimes. Prolonged absences of master or owner will give it stress and it may start to whine a lot as well as do some chewing on things until they get destroyed. Thus you must commit a lot of time for it.

If you have any sort of canine or dog allergies then do think twice about getting this breed. The fur of this breed is not hypoallergenic and thus it may cause you some complications. The fur is also likely to mat or tangle frequently and so it is recommended that it be brushed at least once weekly.

Should you have any plans of keeping this dog outside the home once in a while, then you should make sure that it is properly fenced in or at least leashed properly. This is because it has a penchant for chasing things like squirrels, chipmunks, low flying birds and butterflies to name a few. One it does start to chase whatever, it is not mindful of its surroundings and can end up hurting itself.

Taking care of this breed will have its fair share of challenges and it is not a breed to be taken on by a novice owner. Make sure of what you are in for when taking on this one by reading up on your literature on how best to take care of it and do your research by asking other owners personally or in forums so as to prepare yourself better.
