The Cavalier is Known as “The Comforter Spaniel”** This breed loves nothing more than to cuddle with their beloved owners. Being bred as the [consummate lap dog](https://www.petlandkennesaw.com/blog/puppy-breeds-overwhelmingly-affectionate/) , they are widely known for their friendliness and affection. They bond with their owners very strongly, making it difficult for people that are away from home often to do well with this breed. Otherwise, this playful breed is perfect for families and children alike. #### **2. Why is the Name so Long? How the Cavalier King Charles Breed Evolved** The Cavalier started out as just a toy spaniel in the 16th and 17th century. Then after garnering the love of King Charles II, they were named after their most famous owner. Because King Charles was sometimes accused of neglecting the kingdom in favor of his beloved dogs, he was dubbed the “Cavalier King”. The name then stuck with the spaniel as well! #### **3. The Cavalier and the Pug. Wait, what?** Once King Charles II passed away, the Cavalier went through a lull in popularity. Breeds like the Pug began to take its place in royal households and eventually they were bred together. Because of this unlikely pairing, the Cavalier then developed a shorter snot and domed head. These features live on today in both the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the offshoot breed the King Charles Spaniel. Enjoying this read? You'll love our puppies. Adorable, vet-checked pups looking for their forever homes — available now. [Meet our puppies](https://petlandkennesaw.com/puppies-for-sale/) #### **4. The Colors of the Cavalier Also Have History** Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have four very distinct colors with very special names! The most popular is Blenheim, chestnut and white, that was named after the battle of the Blenheim where a famous breeder of the Cavalier fought. The other colors include King Charles (black and tan), Ruby (mahogany) and Prince Charles (tri-color). #### **5. The AKC Was a Little Slow Recognizing the Cavalier King Charles** Even though the origins of the Cavalier date back centuries, the AKC only formally recognized the breed in 1995. Since then it has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds. The Cavalier was rated 18th in the country just last year and should continue to gain admiration. Despite being a spaniel, the AKC puts the Cavalier in the Toy Group in shows because of their diminutive size. #### We hope you enjoyed this little bit of background into the awesome breed that is the Cavalier!
