Gillcrest Cavaliers

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a delightfully affectionate, playful, and intelligent dog that thrives in a loving family environment. They typically weigh between thirteen and eighteen pounds and get along well with children, although puppies are best suited for children over the age of five. Cavaliers truly enjoy sharing their home with a companion Cavalier and do not thrive when left alone all day without human companionship or the company of another animal. Cavaliers are a natural “wash and wear” breed, with a luxuriously soft coat that requires no clipping or trimming. They shed a little, but that can be kept to a minimal amount with brushing weekly and bathing every three to four weeks. When bathing a Cavalier, care needs to be taken to prevent water from getting inside their ears. Nails and underside of the feet should be trimmed as needed. Special attention may be required to keep tangles out of your Cavalier’s ears and feathering.
