Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Small · 12–18 lbs
Named after King Charles II of England, who was so devoted to his spaniels that he reportedly issued a royal decree allowing them into any public building — including the Houses of Parliament — a decree that technically remains on the books in England to this day. The modern breed was recreated in the 1920s by breeders attempting to reproduce the longer-snouted spaniel type depicted in 17th-century royal portraits.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel scores 95/100 in friendliness and is barely stubborn at 30/100 — one of the most loving, gentle companion dogs in existence and an ideal first dog or senior companion. The critical caveat: mitral valve disease is extremely common in this breed, and vet costs can be significant over the dog's lifetime.
