Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for their loving and loyal nature, always striving to please their owners. Unlike many dogs, they prefer sniffing over licking. With an average weight of 20-25 pounds, they make great companions for hospital visits in my area. They have a special affinity for children and babies and are protective of them. In terms of grooming, they are relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional nail trimming and brushing of their long ears.
