Originally from England, the Cavalier King Charles is very graceful and well proportioned, its popularity is due to its friendly and non-aggressive. He is quick, athletic and gay.

It is a small dog accreditation quiet but sometimes very energetic, he tolerates flat living and is a good companion.

Very popular in Britain, this little spaniel, whose origin is very old, was fashionable in European royal courts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is not uncommon to discover the engravings and paintings of artists of the time, a small rider nestled in sumptuous robes.

In this state of "Court Dog" Cavalier has kept a proud gait and a strong character.

It comes from the King Charles Spaniel that was once much more popular than the Cavalier, but today there is a trend reversal because this race has fewer health problems including breathing. It was Charles II's favorite dog, according to his detractors, preferred to play with his dogs rather than deal with state affairs.

The breed standard was set in 1928.

While it is talked about that the last ten years, the Cavalier King Charles did not appear until 1924.

It was Charles II of England (1630-1685) who gave the English dwarf spaniels their credentials. He had such a passion they were called Spaniels King Charles. The king never went without his dogs that had the same right to enter parliament.

Competition arrived with the Pugs and Pekingese that have a flat nose. Therefore, the King Charles had to follow this mode. Breeders had to create King Charles Spaniels in the shortest nose.

The race was so successful as to protect it from unwelcome crossings, the Toy Spaniel Club was founded in 1886 to establish various principles and officially recognize the King Charles.

It was also decided that his name would be different depending on its color. The single color were named Ruby. The black and tan King Charles were appointed. Tricolor were appointed Prince Charles. The orange and white became Blenheim. In 1903, the confusion is such the Kennel Club, we had to give a name, not by color but by morphology. King Edward VII and intervenes historical name of King Charles was chosen.

However there was a dilemma: King Charles Cavaliers were physically closest dogs beloved by Charles II, which many label errors. The real Blenheim has a red spot on the white of his skull which the following legend.

In 1705, the Duchess Sarah, wife of the Duke of Marlborough, vainly waiting for news of her husband off to war in Bavaria, on the banks of the Danube in Blenheim. Nervous and anxious, she rubbed her thumb hard on the forehead of her dog she was holding in her lap. The latter expecting a litter. A few days later, she gave birth to puppies who all wore a red mark corresponding to the thumb of the Duchess.

This is a result of the resounding victory of the Duke of Marlborough at the Battle of Blenheim, the Duke decided to baptize the little spaniels white and red Blenheim.

The spot corresponding to mark the thumb of the Duchess Sarah said "lozenge" in English, is a popular feature of Blenheim color.

In the golden age of the race, in the sixteenth century, the Cavalier King Charles was considered comforting dog. The doctors prescribed as a remedy. It warmed the bosom of the ladies while traveling by car in icy halls of castles. It also attracted the chips of his mistress, sparing him may be reached by certain diseases transmitted by the bites of these parasites.

Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned with her spaniel. When she was decapitated February 8, 1587, the dog was found curled up under her skirts. It took away the strength of the body of his mistress. He died two days later.

Charles I was also imprisoned with his spaniel, Rogue, by supporters of the Roundheads. The spaniel remained with his master when run, then after supporters brought him the dog parade in London as a symbol of the defeat of the sovereign.

It will be alert, docile and very courageous. It has a strong instinct of anticipation: all these features make it an excellent dog to prevent, by cons do not expect him in pure defense.

To the extent that the Australian Shepherd begins to spread, it is a victim of its success. I advise you to know the minimum characteristics of the breed and choose your breeder.

A mother, too young or poorly socialized, will fail to properly educate her puppies. So I urge you to be vigilant, the minimum age to bring out a bitch is in the third year of heat. Exceptionally in the second year, but prefer three years for the mother of your puppy.

The SPA is currently full of Australian Shepherds abandoned due to hypersensitivity or hyperactivity!

Behavioral problems often have two related causes: a bad start in breeding and inadequate education.

Apartment life is poorly suited to the Australian Shepherd. This is not a solitary it is a dynamic dog and its origins are the campaign. Now, if you often go out without you satisfied with the tour of the house, he can live in an apartment. Before you leave it alone, it will take a long apprenticeship, progressive. It will be essential that it is a derivation, or occupation if you want better. From experience, I urge you not to prolong the moments where he will remain alone, as even educated it will be very hard psychologically for him.

You need at least twice a week for an hour walk in parks and forests or across country. Otherwise go to club Agility make or introduce yourself to Canicross see the herd.
