Cockalier

Needs loads of attention but very caring and friendly.

So far, so good! Super intelligent, has been great overall with crate training. Super playful with my children!

love my two babies (full brother and sister) not very smart some times but havethe best attitude! they hate water!

We are an older, long-married couple who love dogs (and cats) and have had many over the years (golden retrievers, shelties, airedales, scotties, cairns, poodles, britanies). We rescued this guy for a pet store when he was three months old and covered in sores, with huge patches of missing fur. We weren’t looking for a dog as we had two at the time. It was a total accident that we found him. We visited him three times before we brought him home because we were worried about having so many dogs. He was so loving and so obviously in misery we could not igore him. After treating briefly for allergies, our son who lived with us and both of us got mange. Who knew people could catch it! That’s how we discovered what was wrong with Buddy. And we had to treat our other dogs as well. We got him treated and he even grew back all of his missing fur. Three months later our 15 year old standard poodle died. She had decided I was in good hands with “Buddy”. He is the most amazing, joyful little guy I have ever known. He loved our old cairn and cared for her into her dotage, until she died at 17 last February. He is our grandson’s best mate. Since I retired, he has helped me make friends every where I travel. He never meets stranger, 2 legged or four. He is not crazy about getting in the car (maybe remembering all of those early trips to the vet), but he never wants to be left behind. He is a perfect gentleman. Don’t know what I will do when his time on earth is over. I will certainly have a broken heart. We all will.

He is the joy of our life, we became part of our family when he was 8 months old, potty trained in a week, and had one or two accidents shortly after and never again! He plays amazingly with children, in fact better calmer and gentler than with adults. He loves every dog that passes by. He does like to chase squirrels and birds he sees, but there is not a mean cell in his body. Gives kisses on demand, plays catch like a champion, and is smarter than most humans I know.

We have had Maizie since March 2009. She was 9 weeks old. She is a very friendly dog who is also a foodie. She loves to go for walks and when she is in a safe place she loves to run free. She believes she is a great hunter. Always looks around to see if their are critters to chase or she has her nose to the ground picking up interesting scents.

I had never seen this breed until we came across the advert for these puppies. Harry came home, got in his bed and never made a sound. He was very quickly house trained and is very mild mannered. I can leave him alone, with family, with friends, he is so adaptable it is unbelievable. He is very much a working dog out in the field, but he loves nothing more than sitting on your lap and being rubbed, much like the Cavalier King Charles.

This is our first time having a dog and we are so glad we chose to include the Cockalier breed into our family. Rupert has brought so much happiness to our lives. He has been so easy to train and responds well to learning new things. He is friendly, affectionate and always excited to make new friends on his beach walks. He is so well mannered and delightful, we couldn't be happier!

I had a Cavalier King Charles spaniel for 12 years before she passed away. Loved this breed! We found this Cockerspaniel/Cavalier King Charles breed up for rescue. We rescued him and he is 2 yrs old. He is very lively and lovable! He has the color of the brown and white cavalier, but looks like a cockerspaniel.We love him and he has his forever home with us!
