Spaniel

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an elegant and royal-looking spaniel. They have jealousy-inducing long and silky coats and open and gentle expressions. They were known as comforter dogs during Tudor times, beloved by everyone, particularly royalty. They are named after King Charles II, who reigned during the 1700s. Sweet and mellow, they make good companion dogs today, even if you aren’t royalty.
