🏞 History
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel originated in England and is named after King Charles II, a monarch known for his love of small dogs. Descended from the King Charles Spaniel, highly prized in the 17th century, the Cavalier has been shaped over time to regain a more graceful appearance and a sociable temperament. After a decline in the 19th century, passionate breeders crossed this breed with Cocker Spaniels and Pugs to create the dog we know today: a loyal and refined companion that embodies elegance and sweetness.
