An XGF had one..Good dog and beautiful..It was a black one. The dog wasn't that old when it died. She called to tell me and I was shocked.

Great dog, I have one about a year old. A little ball of fun and energy but calm and affectionate when you need her to be. Gets a lot of attention from other people when out walking. Doesn’t bark

Vet says the heart thing is easily treatable with meds and they live a long time if properly treated.

Sweet little dogs but very prone to heart defects from what I’ve read. A friend had one that lived a long life and was a great house dog though.

It’s a popular choice among the WASP’y contingent in the Northeast.

Wife had one. Sweet dog, clean. Snored louder than anything I've ever heard. Died last year from heart failure, which is very common.

If the dog lives in your house it’s your dog.

"all the affection, excitement and manors of a King Charles."



I'm somewhat concerned about the cost of upkeep on these manors.

Had a relative who had one and they hung with others who had same breed.

Sweet dog
Lovable dog

Sadly, all the ones I met were dumber than a bag of hammers.

Let me clarify.

Manors in this case are the following:

1. No barking
2. Minds it's business
3. Plays well with others dog and humans

Asking the ot for validation on your choice of dog breed reaks of insecurity, toughen up

Not reading through all the posts.

Obviously you’re gay, beta a cuck, etc.

With that said, our cavalier is the best dog we have ever owned. Was easy to train, listens and great with kids.

Ours is 13 which is old for the breed, most don’t live that long. They have a history of heart and hip issues so vet your breeder well.

Only issue we have is that they shed a lot, but it’s long hair and clumps together, almost like dust bunnies. Get yourself a Roomba and all is good.

We paid $1,300, but that was 13 years ago, I have no idea what they go for now.

Fun dogs but prone to many many health issues which are likely to be expensive over the years. They don't enjoy getting wet and muddy. But they love their owners

Their level of affection to their owners is amazing. And they are hilarious to boot in their other behaviors. And awesome with kids.

We have a tri color, and I can tell you these are spot on. The dude does stuff that cracks me up, and lives to be around people.

We got our Tri Color a little over a year ago. He's a loving, crazy, goofy little shite.

Great personality.
